Fiberglass Thickness	Recommended Pilot Hole Drill Size
0.125 in. (3.18 mm) or less	1/8 in. (3.18 mm) pilot hole

submersibles, personal watercraft or any other vessel likely to be under water at any time.

Prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of 100dB can cause permanent hearing loss. This high-performance speaker can exceed this level. Please exercise restraint in its operation in order to preserve your ability to enjoy its fidelity.

When installing a subwoofer in your vessel, it is extremely important to secure it firmly. This applies not only to the woofer itself, but also the structure it is mounted to. If not firmly attached, the speaker can become a dangerous projectile in a collision. Please review the mounting information carefully and use the supplied marine-grade hardware to mount this product.

INTERCHANGEABLE LOGO BADGE (Sport-Grille Models Only)

Interchangeable Logo Badges for Sport Grille model subwoofers are included to further customize your installation. The design of the Sport Grille allows for the JL Audio logo to be added in your choice of included colors and oriented in the manner that best suits your installation.

NOTE: A left and a right badge of each color is included. These two different orientations ensure the “JL Audio” Logo will read correctly wherever positioned (most commonly the 3:00 or 9:00 position).

Remove the adhesive backing from the badge and affix the badge to the grille using the small positioning hole as a guide. See diagram at right.

to fit in the specified enclosure

The enclosure recommendations listed are external dimensions which assume the use of 3/4” (19mm) thick material. If you are using 5/8” (16mm) thick material, subtract 1/4” (6.5mm) from each dimension. Do not use any material with a thickness of less than 5/8” (16mm) as this may compromise the rigidity of the enclosure.

All enclosure volumes listed are net internal volumes! Box volume displacement, port displacement and brace displacement must be added to obtain the final gross internal volume. All enclosure dimensions listed have already taken this into account.
