for the
SMS-F150-SPRCRW/PREM
SMS-F150-SPRCRW/BAS
SKU# 94550 and 94551
2009 & Up Ford F150 SuperCrew
Thank you for choosing a JL Audio StealthMod® System for your automotive sound system.
With proper installation, your new vehicle-specific audio system
will deliver years of listening pleasure.
We strongly recommend that you have your new StealthMod® System installed by your authorized
JL Audio dealer. The installation professionals employed by your dealer have the necessary tools
and experience to disassemble and reassemble your vehicle properly. If you prefer to perform your
own installation, please read this installation guide completely before beginning the process.
If you choose to perform the installation yourself, it is absolutely vital that
the Stealthbox
®
be properly mounted to the vehicle according to these
instructions. Failure to mount the enclosure properly presents two problems:
1) The sub-bass performance will suffer due to the movement of the enclosure
caused by the force exerted by the woofer(s).
2) A loose enclosure presents a serious safety hazard in the event of a collision
or sudden deceleration.
