Congratulations!
You have
just
purchased ARENA
26Be
75
years in
the
making!
"You only live once!" Live
it
with
Great
JBL Sound
-
Thank you for choosing a
JBL
Arena
26Be
component system.
To
get the best performance from your
new speakers, it is strongly recommended that you have a qualified professional install them. Although this
manual provides general instructions about installing
the
speakers, it does
not
include exact installation
methods for any particular vehicle. If you
do
not
feel that you have the necessary experience,
do
not
attempt the installation yourself,
but
instead ask your authorized
JBL
dealer about professional installation options.
Remember
to
keep
your
sales receipt in a safe place, along with this manual, so that both are available for future
reference.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Arena
26Be
is derived from
the
Flagship Arena X speaker. The trickle-down technology
is
prevalent throughout the
product. It is a
2-way
system with an elegant, custom-tuned passive crossover network, which supports the
25mm
Beryllium
dome
tweeter for unparalleled clarity. The crossover features a three-way attenuation switch
to
more seamlessly
blend
the
tweeters' response into your unique mobile environment. The woofer is designed for
the
ultimate in
low
distortion, and superior
bass
response. The attractive magnetic grilles and innovative mounting rings allow for seamless,
elegant installation with
no
visible fasteners. Overall this system will provide a beautiful aesthetic
to
match the amazing
soundstage and image
of
the music.
Beryllium -Element 4
on
the Periodic Table -is a rare earth metal that is renowned for its remarkable physical properties
that make it the ideal material for a high-frequency transducer. Compared
to
aluminum and titanium tweeter diaphragms,
Beryllium offers
4.5
times the stiffness and three times more damping, at only half
of
the
weight. Beryllium tweeters are
the centerpiece
of
the ARENA automotive loudspeaker series.
This product has been given the Hi-Resolution certification
on
high-frequency bands, capability
of
reproducing
40
kHz
or
above. This is driven
by
the
25mm
(1-inch) beryllium dome, and a powerful neodymium
motor
for the ultimate in
lightweight performance. The powerful
all
-
new
tweeter and
6th
-generation ceramic-coated, cast-aluminum acoustic lens
waveguide seamlessly integrates with the directivity
of
the companion midrange drivers resulting unparalleled efficiency,
improved dynamic range, reduced distortion, and increased
power
handling.

JBL Arena 26Be Installation
Installing the Beryllium dome tweeters
It is important
to
choose a mounting location and tweeter
orientation high on the
door
panel
or
A-pillar that provides
optimum disbursement
of
the high frequencies for excellent stereo
imaging and sound staging. Recommendations include:
• Using your vehicle's factory tweeter locations, if it has them,
and the tweeters will fit in those locations.
• Mounting the tweeters at the
top
of
the door panels
or
A-pillars.
The system includes three options for installing the tweeters:
• Flush-mount cups
• Surface-mount cups
• Stealth-mount brackets
Flush-mounting the tweeters
Flush-mounting is ideal for installing the tweeters in
an
A-pillar,
dash corner,
or
door
panel.
•
Cut
a hole 1.9 inches in diameter in the mounting surface.
• Push the flush-mount into the hole as far
as
it will
go
so
that
the rim is flush with the mounting surface.
• Thread the tweeter wire through the center
of
the mounting
cup.
• Insert the tweeter into the cup, then twist clockwise
to
lock it
in place.
• Thread the pressure-fit nut onto the
back
of
the flush-mount
cup. Twist clockwise
to
hand-tighten.
Surface-mounting the tweeters
Surface-mounting is ideal for installing the tweeters
on
a sail panel,
dash corner,
or
door
panel.
• Place the surface-mount
cup
against the mounting location
to
mark the screw holes and hole
to
thread the tweeter wire
through.
• Drill pilot holes for the screws and larger hole for the wire.
• Place the surface-mounting
cup
against the mounting location
again and secure in place with the included screws. Thread the
wire through the bottom
of
the mounting
cup
and through the
larger drilled hole.
• Push the tweeter into the mounting cup and twist clockwise
to
lock in place.
Stealth-mounting the tweeters
The stealth-mount bracket can
be
used
to
install the tweeters in a
variety
of
locations, including factory tweeter locations and
custom
lll
mounts that you fabricate.
• The stealth mount can
be
flush-mounted, recess-mounted,
or
mounted
to
the
back
of
a mounting surface with the included
screws.
• Once you have determined mounting location and method,
remove tabs from the bracket that you will not use
to
secure
it in place.
• Once the mount is in place and secured with screws
or
adhesive, thread the tweeter wires through the bottom
of
the
mount.
• Push the tweeter into the
cup
and twist it clockwise
to
lock
in
place.
NOTE: if attaching
to
the back
of
a mounting surface, place the
tweeter in the mount and lock
in
place before securing the bracket
to
the surface.

Installing the 6.5" woofers
The woofers are usually mounted in your vehicle's factory woofer
locations, which are typically
in
the doors (front)
or
side panels
(rear). If you choose
to
mount them
1n
a custom location, mounting
them higher will raise the soundstage, while mounting them lower
,n
the doors will provide excellent bass response.
To mount the woofer
to
the mounting location, place the driver
against the mounting surface and use the supplied screws
to
secure.
TIPS:
• It is recommended
to
use the included insulating material
between the mounting surface and the mounting ring
of
the
woofer
to
absorb vibrations and help produce the cleanest
sound possible.
• Use the included speed clips behind
the
mounting surface
to
provide a
way
to
secure the screws, if necessary.
• Take care
not
to
overtighten the screws,
to
prevent damage.
• If mounting in the
door
panel, make sure
the
magnet protrusion
does
not
interfere with
window
or
door
latch operation.
In
a custom location,
if
the woofer is visible, use the included
decoration ring and grille
to
cover
the
screws and protect
the
speaker cone.
• If mounting in a custom enclosure that you manufacture,
recommend that the sealed volume
of
the
enclosure is
more
than 0. 7
cubic
feet (>20L).
WIRING
THE
JBL
ARENA 26Be
SPEAKERS
All connections from
the
amplifier and
to
the speakers are
made
through the included crossovers.
Accessing the terminals
in
the crossovers
Slide the Allen wrench into the hole in
the
front panel
of
the
crossover, then gently
to
pry
up
the cover
of
the crossover.
Remove cover.

Connecting the speakers
to
the crossover
• Use the Allen wrench
to
open
the terminals
by
turning
the
setscrews counterclockwise.
• Insert the tweeter wires into the "OUT" terminals marked
"lWEETER", and the
woo
fer wires into the terminals marked
"WOOFER".

Connecting the amplifier
to
the crossover:
bi-amping
The
JBL
Arena 26Be crossover lets you bi-amp the system
(powering the tweeters independently
of
the woofers}.
To
bi-amp:
• Slide the "Bl-AMP" switch
to
"on".

recommended.
• Make sure your amplifier's RMS
power
rating is suitable for the

• You will need
to
use a total
of
four channels
of
amplification
from
two
2-channel amplifiers
or
one
4-channel amplifier.
IMPORTANT: Because
of
the lower impedance
of
the drivers,
do
not
wire

to
prevent
overheating the amplifier.

NOTES OF CAUTION
• Because
of
the nature
of
Beryllium,
do
not touch the tweeter
domes
with your finger
or
any other body part.
•
Do
not
expose the Beryllium tweeters
to
open flame,
to
avoid
the possibility
of
poisoning
by
inhalation.
• We have meticulously chosen certain glues for their adhesive
and more importantly their acoustic properties. Over time
some
reddening can occur
to
the glue edge at the dust cap,
depending
on
your environment.
