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.

STEP 1 This Stealthbox® is not designed to be a passenger seat. We do not recommend it to be used as such.
If you are dealing with a 1997-2002 Ram, there will be a small black box bolted to the underside of the center seat section. This is the seat belt retracting sensor. This must be handle with care, see STEP 7.

Thank you for choosing a JL Audio Stealthbox® for your automotive sound system. With proper installation, your new vehiclespecific enclosed subwoofer system will deliver years of listening pleasure.
We strongly recommend that you have your new Stealthbox® 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. Also, keep in mind that your warranty coverage extends to 1 year if your system is installed or approved by your
authorized JL Audio dealer. If you prefer to perform your own installation, please read this installation guide completely before beginning the process.

With an 8mm socket and the OEM bolts, secure the upper arm rest section too the bottom cushion section.
STEP 6 Fold the four black plastic strips under the upholstery.
This upholstery/strip fold is to be mounted to the Stealthbox®.
Using a 1/8-inch drill bit and drill. Drill a pair of pilot holes into the Stealthbox®. The pilot holes are to be in line with each of the upholstery/strip folds.
Secure each fold with two of the supplied screws to the Stealthbox®.
STEP 7 If this truck has the seat belt retracting sensor (black box), secure this sensor to the driver's seat mounting leg. Make sure that the sensor is positioned exactly the same way it was positioned as factory installed. If not, the seat belts will not function correctly.
Run speaker wire from the amplifier's location to the Stealthbox® location and check for proper operation of the woofer.
