Speaker Placement J B L GTO15T

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the JBL GTO15T. These tweeters have been designed to provide smooth high- frequency reproduction, high power handling and ease of installation.

Please read this manual thoroughly before you begin your installation. It includes information that will make your installation as simple and trouble-free as possible. Also, don’t forget to send in your warranty registration card, and keep your sales receipt somewhere safe in case you need warranty service.

About These Instructions Installation of automotive stereo components can require extensive experience with a variety of mechan- ical and electrical procedures. Although these instructions explain how to install GTO15T 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 professional installation options.

Loud Music and Hearing

Playing loud music in an automobile can permanently damage your hear- ing, as well as hinder your ability to hear traffic. The maximum volume levels achievable with JBL speakers, combined with high power amplifica- tion, 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 dam- age as a result of use or misuse of this product.

About the Crossover Passive-crossover design involves precise circuit design and compo- nent selection. Moreover, a well- designed crossover circuit provides an intended electrical response, when combined with the electrical properties of the speaker, to provide a particular acoustic response. Each enclosed crossover has been optimized to provide a flat response when used with a GTO15T 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.

About Placement
