INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS
ABOUT THESE 
INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of automotive stereo 
components can require extensive
experience with a variety of mech-
anical and electrical procedures. 
Although these instructions explain
how to install JBL P25T tweeters in
a general sense, they do not show
the exact installation methods for
your particular vehicle. If you feel
you do not have the experience, do
not attempt the installation yourself
but, instead, ask your authorized
JBL car audio dealer about profes-
sional installation options.
LOUD MUSIC AND
HEARING
Playing loud music in an automo-
bile can permanently damage your 
hearing, as well as hinder your
ability to hear traffic. 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.
ABOUT THE FILTER
Passive filter design involves pre-
cise circuit design and component
selection. Moreover, a well-
designed filter circuit provides an
intended electrical response, when
combined with the electrical pro-
perties of the speaker, to provide a
particular acoustic response. Each
enclosed filter has been optimized
to provide a flat response when
used with a JBL P25T tweeter.
Do not use another brand or type of
passive crossover, or connect
more than one tweeter to a
crossover. Doing so may damage
the tweeter. 
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 mov-
ing 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 win-
dow’s travel, and verify that a
mounted speaker will not inter-
fere 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.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
ABOUT PLACEMENT
Figures 1 and 2 show possible speaker placements with Figure 1 being more
desirable. We recommend using the kick panel for mounting to obtain the
best staging and imaging in most vehicles.
