STAGE 1200S Subwoofer

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THIS JBL PRODUCT
This product has been designed to deliver great bass performance from a compact, easily installed enclosure. To get the best performance from your enclosure, we strongly recommend that you entrust installation to a qualified professional. Although these instructions explain how to install your enclosure in a general sense, they do not show specific installation methods that may be required for your particular vehicle. If you do not have the necessary tools or experience, do not attempt the installation yourself. Instead, please ask your authorized JBL car audio dealer about professional installation. To help us serve you better if your enclosure ever requires warranty service, please retain your original sales receipt and serial number.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS

INSTALLATION TIPS

Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
Turn off all audio components and other electrical devices before you start. Disconnect the negative (–) lead from your vehicle’s battery.
Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface. Be sure that screws or wires will not puncture brake lines, fuel lines or wiring harnesses, and that wire routing will not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
When making electrical connections, make sure they are secure and properly insulated.
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.
Do not mount speakers where they will get wet.

CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE ENCLOSURE
Choose a mounting location that doesn’t interfere with cargo, the fold-down rear seat or the trunk lid. The best location is usually a corner of the trunk or cargo area. Securely mount the enclosure to the mounting surface.
WARNING: Playing loud music in an automobile can permanently damage your hearing as well as hinder your ability to hear traffic.
Listening at low levels while driving is recommended. HARMAN International accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage resulting from use or misuse of this product.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

Connect the + and – terminals on the enclosure to the amplifier’s outputs, observing proper polarity. Use at least 0.5mm² (20 AWG) speaker wire for the connections to the enclosure.
