INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS
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 Power 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
installation 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

The Power Series component crossover features a
tweeter-level adjustment. The tweeter level may be set to 0dB
(flat response), or it may be attenuated by approximately 3dB
to suit the listener’s preference. The factory default position is
0dB; if this is the desired setting, it is not necessary to make
any changes.
