ABOUT THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of automotive stereo
components can require extensive
experience with a variety of
mechanical and electrical proce-
dures. Although these instructions
explain how to install Grand
Touring Series Component Systems
in a general sense, they do not
show the exact installation
methods for your particular vehicle.
If you do not feel you have the
experience, do not attempt the
installation yourself, but instead
ask your authorized JBL car audio
dealer about professional installa-
tion options.

LOUD MUSIC AND
HEARING
Playing loud music in an auto-
mobile can hinder your ability to
hear traffic, as well as permanently
damage your hearing. The maxi-
mum volume levels achievable with
JBL speakers, combined with high
power amplification, may exceed
safe levels for extended listening.
We recommend using low volume
levels when driving.
JBL accepts no liability for hearing
loss, bodily injury or property
