Professional-Grade Automotive Component Speaker System Owner’s Manual   
C508GTi   C608GTi
Important: Installation of automotive
stereo components can require extensive
experience performing a variety of mechani-
cal and electrical procedures. Although
these instructions explain how to install a
GTi component system in a general sense,
they do not show the exact installation
method for your particular car. If you don’t
feel you have the necessary tools or experi-
ence, ask your authorized JBL car audio
dealer about professional installation
options.
Warning: Playing loud music in your auto-
mobile can permanently damage your hear-
ing as well as hinder your ability to hear traf-
fic. We recommend listening at low volume
while driving. JBL accepts no liability for
hearing loss, bodily injury or property dam-
age resulting from use or misuse of this
product.
A Note About System Performance
For the best performance possible, the GTi
components should be used with a two-
channel amplifier with output power of at
least 50W RMS per channel. The passive
crossover contains impedance compensa-
tion circuitry and has been computer-opti-
mized for the flattest possible frequency
response with the tweeter flush-mounted,
on-axis with the listener. The combined
response of the speakers and passive
crossover constitutes a 4th-order Linquitz-
Riley acoustic alignment and cannot be
duplicated with any electronic crossover
currently available for car audio use. Conse-
quently, bi-amping a GTi component system
with an electronic crossover is not recom-
mended. 
Speaker Placement
Figures 1–4 show possible speaker 
placements in the order of most desirable to
least desirable. Kick-panel mounting will
provide the best staging and imaging in
most vehicles.
