SPEAKER INSTALLATION
The speaker should be installed in one of the following ways depending on location:
Bottom-Mount Locations: If you will be using the factory speaker wires, it may be necessary to change the terminations. This may be accomplished by using an adaptor plug or simply by cutting the factory connector off and using the supplied crimp connectors to terminate the speaker wires. The large connector is for the positive terminal and the small connector is for the negative terminal of each speaker. You may also choose to run new speaker wires. Whichever method you choose, observe correct polarity in your connections. If you are unsure about any of these issues, contact your
JL Audio dealer for installation assistance.

WARNING
Double check the clearance for both speakers before proceeding. Many cars are different from one side to the other!

WARNING
Hand-tighten the screws evenly in a criss-cross pattern to avoid bending the speaker frame or stripping the mounting clips.
Your new speakers have been designed to install, without modifications, into most vehicles that accept a 6 x 9 inch speaker. Most factory 6 x 9 inch speakers use four mounting screws or bolts which will line up with the mounting holes on your C2-690tx speakers. The speaker should fit so that no air leaks around the mounting flange. Air leaks will cause a severe degradation in sound quality.
Seal any air leaks with silicone, rope caulk or similar sealant material. Install as shown in the diagram here, using the supplied bottom-mount spacer rings and the supplied screws and mounting clips. Hand-tighten the screws evenly to avoid bending the speaker frame!
