Thank you for choosing a JL Audio Slampak® for your motorcycle sound system. With proper installation, your new vehicle-specific enclosed sound system will deliver years of listening pleasure. We strongly recommend that you have your new Slampak® installed by your authorized JL Audio dealer. The installation professionals employed by your dealer have the necessary tools and experience to disassemble and reassemble your vehicle properly. Also, keep in mind that your warranty coverage extends to 2 years if your system is installed or approved by your authorized JL Audio dealer. If you prefer to perform your own installation, please read this installation guide completely before beginning the process.
IMPORTANT
you choose to perform the installation yourself, it is absolutely vital
that the Stealthbox® be properly mounted to the vehicle according to these
instructions. Failure to mount the enclosure properly presents two problems:
- The sub-bass performance will suffer due to the movement of the enclosure caused by the force exerted by the woofer(s).
- A loose enclosure presents a serious safety hazard in the event of a collision or sudden deceleration.
INSTALLATION
STEP 1
Empty out the front storage space of the motorcycle so that you have a
clean area to work in.
If you are only installing the pods, skip to STEP 16.
STEP 2
Remove the bottom panel above the rear tire as shown here
STEP 3
Lift the seat, and remove the panel that simulates a gas tank at the top
center of the motorcycle. Remove the two panels labeled “can-am” (one on each
side of the motorcycle) and the two panels labeled “spyder” (one on each side
of the motorcycle).
STEP 4
Remove the air duct body panels as indicated by the image at left. (One on
each side of the motorcycle). There may be auxiliary lights installed in this
panel, unplug them as the panel is removed. If you are ONLY installing the
pods and NOT the full system but will be installing an amplifier in the
front storage compartment, only remove the air duct body panel on the right-
hand side (where the harness enters the storage compartment (as seen in STE P
5 below), skip to STEP 6.
STEP 5
Remove the front Air dam.
STEP 6
The harness for power, ground, remote turn-on, signal, and speakers will
come down the right side of the motorcycle and enter the storage compartment
in the upper right rear corner as shown below.
STEP 7
Looking down from the top front of the storage compartment, notice where
the wire loom enters the compartment.
STEP 8
Looking up from the front right tire, use a 1-1/8” hole- saw to cut a hole
for the harness to come through as seen in STEP 7. Before drilling, always
make sure that you are not going to be drilling into any gas lines, brake
lines, tires, transmission lines, electrical wiring, exhaust systems or
anything else that might cause a reduction in your weekly pay. Always wear eye
protection when drilling!
STEP 9
If you are ONLY installing the pods and NOT the full system, skip to STEP
16.The two templates shown can be found on the last two pages of the install
manual, cut them out and position them as shown. Remove the panel directly
above the storage compartment as indicated by the arrow.
STEP 10
Mark the center positions of each template and cut the two holes, the holes
should be 3-5/8” in diameter after they are cut.
USE ALL PRECAUTIONS WHEN CUTTING/DRILLING
STEP 11
Mount the beveled hole trims as shown using the 8 Bsupplied #6-1 x 3/4”
Phillips head screws (4 per trim).
STEP 12
Looking down and towards the front right corner of the storage compartment,
position the wax square as shown.
STEP 13
Thread the 3/8-16 x 1-1/4” Hex Head Bolt all the way into the enclosure.
Press the enclosure down into the storage compartment towards the right front
corner, the Hex Head Bolt will leave an indentation in the wax square. Once
you’ve confirmed the indentation in the wax square, remove the Hex Head Bolt
from the enclosure.
STEP 14
Drill a 5/16” hole where the indentation was made in STEP 13. Before
drilling, always make sure that you are not going to be drilling into any gas
lines, brake lines, tires, transmission lines, electrical wiring, exhaust
systems or anything else that might cause a reduction in your weekly pay.
Always wear eye protection when drilling!
STEP 15
Install the 3/8-16 x 1-1/4” Hex Head Bolt through the included Split Lock
Washer, the 1-1/4” Fender Washer, and the hole drilled in STEP 14 into the
enclosure, tighten this fastener down. Once this fastener is tight, the front
air dam can be reinstalled.
STEP 16
Remove the gauge cluster as shown by lifting top panel then depressing two
locking tabs on top of the cluster.
STEP 17
Put a length of masking tape as shown on each side of the top fairing
STEP 18
Remove the larger speaker from each pod, the smaller speaker can remain in
the pod. The speakers are only secured in the pods for shipping with 3-
screws, use all six when re-installing. (In the following pictures, both
speakers have been removed, this is NOT necessary! Position foam strips as
shown on each pod. Note the location of the three holes in the pods, two will
be used to mount the pod, the third will be the wire run.
STEP 19
Align the pod with the back edge matching the fairing (as shown) and the
front corners as shown in STEP 20.
STEP 20
alignment of the front of each pod, once both front and rear alignment are
achieved, use a marker to make marks on the masking tape shown in STEP 17
through the holes in the pods identified in STEP 18.
STEP 21
Drill the holes as marked through the fairing, each hole needs to be 5/16”
in diameter. Before drilling, always make sure that you are not going to be
drilling into any gas lines, brake lines, tires, transmission lines,
electrical wiring, exhaust systems or anything else that might cause a
reduction in your weekly pay. Always wear eye protection when drilling!
STEP 22
Looking through the gauge cluster location, install the “UBolt” around the
steel dash structure and through the two upper holes drilled in STEP 21.
STEP 23
Run the speaker wire through the bottom hole drilled in STEP 21 as shown.
STEP 24
Set each pod into position, with the “U-Bolt” coming through the two upper
holes and the wire coming through the bottom hole. Secure the pod to the
motorcycle using the included 1/4 x 1” Fender Washer and 1/4” Nyloc Nut on
each leg of the “U-Bolt”, and tighten using a rotation method similar to
changing a tire so that both legs are tightened simultaneously. Hook up the
wire to the speaker and, re-install speakers into pods.
If you are ONLY installing the pods and NOT the full system, You have completed your installation of the pods. Run the wire from either side of the fairing to your source (or amplifier) location. Enjoy your new Slampak®!
STEP 25
Locate the battery above the rear tire, and disconnect the negative battery
terminal. Secure the fuse holder close to the terminal, remove the fuse.
Attach the ring terminal for the positive battery run to the positive battery
terminal and run the cable from the battery terminal to the fuse holder.
Attach the cable to the fuse holder. Attach the remaining cable to the output
of the fuse holder and run it through the included Split Loom. Make sure on
all cabling runs to secure all wires when running them so that they cannot get
tangled in any moving parts or the exhaust system.
STEP 26
Under the seat, directly above the fuse panel, you’ll notice a grounding
point, this is an excellent location to get a good ground for the amplifier
and secure the ring terminal for the ground to this point. Run the ground
cable so that it can integrate into the Split Loom with the positive battery
cable. Again, Make sure on all cabling runs to secure all wires when running
them so that they cannot get tangled in any moving parts or the exhaust
system.
STEP 27
Run the power cables up the right-hand side of the motorcycle, securing it
as described earlier at regular intervals alongside the frame or other cable
runs.
STEP 28
Make sure that the cabling is secured so that there is no way that it can
get tangled in any moving parts on the motorcycle, including steering,
suspension, exhaust or passengers. The cable will be joined by the speaker
wire, signal wire for the RLC, and signal from the source, just before it
enters the front storage compartment (through the hole drilled in STEP 8, as
shown by the arrow.)
STEP 29
From the gauge cluster location, there should be the two speaker wires, the
wire for the Remote Level Control (it looks like a phone cord), the small
gauge blue remote turn-on wire (included) and the signal cable. Many people
find it easier to run the mini plug on the signal cable up from the amplifier
location than running the RCA’s on the amplifier end of that cable down. If
you choose to run that cable up, run a “pull line” or, string along with it,
that way, once the run is made, you can use the pull line to pull the other
cables down towards the amplifier.
STEP 30
Again, secure all cables along the full run to ensure that they cannot get
tangled in any moving parts or the exhaust system. The signal and speaker
wires will join with the power cables that came up the side of the motorcycle
and all enter the front storage compartment through the hole drilled in STEP
8, as shown by an arrow.
STEP 31
To mount the Remote level control, determine a convenient and safe
location, drill a 3/8” hole, Before drilling, always make sure that you are
not going to be drilling into any gas lines, brake lines, tires, transmission
lines, electrical wiring, exhaust systems or anything else. Always wear eye
protection when drilling! Gently but firmly, pull the knob off of the control,
use the supplied washers and nut to “sandwich” the surface you just drilled
the hole in, mount the control, and replace the knob.
STEP 32
Follow the included instructions for installing the XD400/4, the small blue
wire that was run down from the Gauge cluster area needs to be spliced into an
accessory switched power source so that the amplifier turns off when the
motorcycle is turned off. If the amplifier remains on when the motorcycle is
turned off, there is a strong potential for battery drainage! All connections
should be made at this time. After all connections are made, review the
schematic on page 6, and make sure that all wires are where they belong.
STEP 33
Double-check all connections, once everything has been confirmed as good,
install the fuse near the battery. Re-install all removed bodywork, don’t miss
any of the hardware.
STEP 34
