POWER RECOMMENDATION
JL Audio recommends high quality amplifiers such as the JL
Audio XD300/1v2. The diagram below shows the recommended crossover settings
for the XD300/1v2. For a detailed description of the amplifier settings,
consult the owner’s manual for the amplifier. If another amplifier is being
used, please reference this illustration and use similar settings on that
amplifier.
CONNECTIONS
Using quality power, signal, and speaker wire is essential in ensuring the performance of your Stealthbox®. JL Audio recommends using a 4 AWG power kit such as the XD-PCS4-1B for your Stealthbox® amplifier. Other kits are available should you be using more than one amplifier. Signal wire such as the JL Audio Premium Audio Interconnect Cables should be used to provide signal for both channels of the amplifier. JL Audio recommends using 12 AWG speaker wire for subwoofers such as our XC-BCS12-25.
