Component Placement

Because of the JBL Component System’s small size and ex- tremely versatile mounting options, there are an almost infi- nite number of placement options to achieve excellent sound quality in any vehicle. Please consider the following statements to help you get the most from your system.

1.The most spacious stereo image is achieved when the left and right speaker systems are placed as wide apart as possible.

2.The best center image will be achieved when the distance from the left speaker and the right speakers are as equal as possi- ble from your listening position. This is most easily achieved by placing the speakers as far for- ward as possible.

3.Treble is directional in nature. This means that high frequencies are reduced as you move off the tweeter's axis. The angle mounts will allow the GTC04 tweeters to be pointed across the car to the listener on the opposite side. This will make each listener slightly off-axis to the tweeter that is closest to that listener, which helps to compensate for the fact that the listener is always closer to one tweeter than to the other (see Figure 6).

The best system integration is achieved when the tweeter is mounted close to the midwoofer speaker. This helps smooth the transition from the midrange and tweeter crossover point. Choosing mounting locations which satisfy all of the above cri- teria will provide the most satis- fying performance.
