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
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 automo-
bile can hinder your ability to hear
traffic as well as permanently dam-
age 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.

ABOUT THE
CROSSOVER
Except for the P6452, each Power
Series multielement speaker
includes an outboard crossover for
in-line connection to an amplifier
which is required for proper opera-
tion (see Figure 7 on the next page).
The attached crossover wires are
keyed and color-coded to aid in
correct polarity connections. Do
not omit the crossover or substitute
another one – doing so will
damage the speaker.
