Important: Installation of automotive stereo components can require extensive experience performing a variety of mechanical and electrical procedures. Although these instruc- tions explain how to install a GTi component system in a general sense, they do not show the exact installation method for your particu- lar car. If you don’t feel you have the necessary tools or experience, ask your authorized JBL car audio dealer about professional installation options.

Warning: Playing loud music in your automobile can permanently damage your hearing as well as hinder your ability to hear traffic. We recommend listening at

low volume while driving. JBL accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury

or property damage resulting from use or

misuse of this product.

A Note About System Performance For the best performance possible, the

GTi components should be used with a two-channel amplifier with output power

of at least 50W RMS per channel. The

passive crossover contains impedance- compensating circuitry and has been computer-optimized for the flattest possible frequency response with the tweeter flush-mounted, on-axis with

the listener. The combined responses of the speakers and passive crossover constitute a 4th-order Linquitz-Riley acoustic alignment and cannot be duplicated with any elec- tronic crossover currently available for car audio use. Consequently, bi- amping a GTi

component system with an electronic crossover is not recommended.
