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 connec- tions, 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.

If a fuse must be replaced, be sure to use the same type of fuse and current rating as that of the original.

CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION FOR 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 enclosure to the mounting surface using the supplied material.

CS1204T, CS1204B specifications

The JBL CS1204T and CS1204B are robust subwoofers that deliver impressive performance in a compact design, making them an excellent choice for car audio enthusiasts looking to enhance their audio experience. Aimed primarily at consumers who want powerful bass without compromising on space, both models are engineered to provide deep, rich sound.

One of the standout features of the JBL CS1204T is its 12-inch cone woofer, which is crafted from high-quality materials to ensure durability and enhanced sound quality. The cone's design allows it to move more air, which translates to deeper bass and louder sound output, creating an immersive listening experience. Additionally, the CS1204T is built with a high-temperature voice coil that enables it to handle higher power levels without distortion, allowing for clear sound even at maximum volume.

The CS1204B model offers similar specs but comes with some unique characteristics tailored for specific user preferences. This version also features a 12-inch woofer, but it incorporates JBL’s advanced surround technology, which greatly improves the overall cone movement and increases the subwoofer's response time. This results in tighter and more accurate bass response, ensuring that users experience the full spectrum of low-noted frequencies without muddiness.

Both subwoofers are equipped with a durable enclosure design that minimizes sound distortion. The enclosures are crafted from heavy-duty materials and feature a ported design that aids in increasing the efficiency of sound waves, maximizing the bass output while maintaining sound clarity. Furthermore, the CS1204 series boasts an attractive finish and an easy-to-install structure, making setup straightforward without requiring extensive modifications to the vehicle.

Another technology worth mentioning is the integration of JBL’s signature Slipstream port technology, which increases airflow and reduces turbulence within the enclosure. This technology significantly enhances the performance of the bass output, allowing for dynamic sound playback across various music genres.

In summary, both the JBL CS1204T and CS1204B subwoofers are designed to provide exceptional audio performance, characterized by powerful bass, durable construction, and innovative technologies. Whether users choose the CS1204T or the CS1204B, they can be assured of a superior listening experience that brings their favorite music to life.
