3. Crossover Connection
Connect the woofers and tweeters to the passive crossovers as per the wiring diagram provided in the full installation guide (not included in this summary). The crossovers ensure that each speaker receives the appropriate frequency range for optimal sound reproduction.
4. Wiring
Use the supplied cables to connect the speakers to the crossovers and then to your car's audio amplifier or head unit. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for all connections.
Operating Instructions
Adjusting Tweeter Output Level
The tweeters feature a push-button control allowing adjustment of the output level to 0dB or -3dB. This helps optimize system linearity based on the tweeter's installation location and your personal listening preference. Experiment with both settings to find the best balance for your vehicle's acoustics.

To maintain the performance and appearance of your JBL speakers:
- Clean speaker cones and grilles with a soft, dry cloth.
