User manual JBL GTO402

[. . . ] Please read through it completely before proceeding. If, after having read it, you decide that you would rather leave installation to a professional, consult your JBL Grand Touring Dealer. Bend up and down repeatedly to break off or use tin snips. · Some Toyota installations may require mounting ears to be removed from opposite sides. [. . . ] This means that high frequencies are reduced as you move off the tweeter's axis. If possible, angle the speakers to be pointed across the car to the listener on the opposite side. This will make each listener slightly off-axis to the tweeter that is closest to that listener, but on axis to the most distant speaker, which helps compensate for the fact that each listener is always closer to one speaker than to the other (see Figure 4). Choosing mounting locations which satisfy all of the above criteria will provide the most satisfying performance. Installation Warnings and Tips · Be careful not to cut or drill into fuel tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on your vehicle. Inspect behind panels before you cut or drill. · Make sure that the speaker will physically fit in the mounting location. If door mounting, check for adequate clearance with the window in both closed and open positions as well as for interference with the window crank and power window mechanism. If mounting elsewhere, check for clearance around rear deck torsion bars, glove box or other structural elements. · Do not mount speakers where they will get wet. · Make sure that it will be easy to run connecting wires to the speakers. Trace speaker wire paths before you undertake mounting. · Always disconnect the ground wire from the battery before doing any work on the vehicle. CAUTION: Fuel tanks are located directly beneath the rear deck in some cars. Check for adequate speaker basket clearance before considering this location! A Note on Power Handling As a result of their high efficiency, all JBL loudspeakers will produce reasonable volume levels in the automotive environment using very little amplifier power. However, the use of a small amplifier to attain very high volume levels could lead to overdriving the amplifier. This will generate high distortion levels which can easily damage loudspeakers, even if the rated power of the amplifier is below the rated maximum power handling of the loudspeaker!
