INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS
THANK YOU
for purchasing JBL CS Series
®
automotive speakers. We’ve
organized this manual to make your
installation as simple and trouble-
free as possible. Please read it
thoroughly before proceeding.
Remember to keep your sales
receipt and this manual in a safe
place so both are available for future
reference.
ABOUT THESE 
INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of automotive stereo
components can require extensive
experience with a variety of
mechanical and electrical
procedures. Although these
instructions explain how to install CS
Series multielement speakers 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 automobile
can hinder your ability to hear traffic
as well as permanently damage your
hearing. The maximum 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 damage as a
result of use or misuse of this
product.
REAR DECK 
PRECAUTION
In some cars, fuel tanks may be 
located directly beneath the rear
deck. Before installation, make sure
there is adequate speaker basket
clearance before considering this
location!
INSTALLATION TIPS
• Always wear protective eyewear
when using any tools.
• Turn off all audio components and
other electrical devices before you
start. Disconnect the (–) negative
lead from your vehicle’s battery.
• Keep speakers in their package
until final installation. When
moving a speaker, always rest it
with the cone or dome facing up.
Never use force to install any
speaker.
• Check clearances on both sides of
a planned mounting surface before
drilling any holes or installing any
screws. Remember that the screws
can extend behind the surface.
• At the installation sites, locate 
and make a note of all fuel lines,
hydraulic brake lines, vacuum lines
and electrical wiring. Use extreme
caution when cutting or drilling in
and around these areas.
• Before drilling or cutting holes, use
a utility knife to remove unwanted
fabric or vinyl, to keep material
from snagging in a drill bit or saw.
• For door installations, check the
clearance with the windows
throughout the range of the
window’s travel, and verify that a
mounted speaker will not interfere
with the window crank or power
window mechanism. 
• If mounting speakers elsewhere,
check for clearance around rear
deck torsion bars, glove box or
other structural elements.
• Do not mount speakers where they
will get wet.
