PRODUCT INFORMATION
Thank you for choosing JL Audio VEX™ Enclosed Speaker Systems. With proper installation, your new speakers will deliver years of listening pleasure. We strongly recommend that you have your Enclosed Speaker Systems installed by your authorized JL Audio dealer. The installation professionals employed by your dealer have the necessary tools and experience to properly install this product. If you prefer to perform your own installation, please read this and the instructions included with your Mounting Fixtures (sold separately) completely before beginning the process.
WARNING
Installation of this product requires the use of JL Audio® Mounting Fixtures (sold separately). No other method of installation should be attempted. To avoid injury, installation instructions are included with the JL Audio. Mounting Fixtures MUST be followed precisely. Do not attempt to remove the LEDs from the speakers. The LEDs are permanently fixed and attempting to remove them will cause damage and this damage will not be covered under warranty.
LED EQUIPPED MODELS
Illuminated speaker models are outfitted with multi-color RGB LEDs to produce vibrant accent lighting. Refer to the Wiring Harness Info tables below for individual wire connection info.
Note: Wiring connections for each speaker are required for LED functionality. Adjustable control of RGB lighting may be achieved with the use of an RGB lighting controller (sold separately). Note: When selecting an RGB lighting controller, make sure that the total amperage demands of all LED circuits does not exceed the output capacity of the controller. Refer to the RGB LED Specifications table for the individual current draw amounts and sum (add) the total. For optimal performance, we recommend using the JL Audio marine lighting controller (MLC-RW).

LED WIRING CONSIDERATIONS
- Do not connect to 24V electrical systems.
- Do not connect the speakers’ LED lights to the vessel’s navigational lighting circuits.
- For short-circuit protection, we recommend installing a fuse (not included) at EACH speaker’s YELLOW (+12V) LED power connection lead. Refer to the RGB LED Specifications table for recommended fuse ratings.
- We recommend a minimum of 16AWG wire size for each speaker’s LED connection circuits.
- In addition to the above, we recommend activating the speakers’ LEDs thru a cabin/ interior lighting circuit that supplies +12V via an existing switch. If an existing switched circuit is not available, you may install a dedicated toggle/rocker style switch that will supply positive (+12V) power. Fuse this main +12V connection according to the total amperage demands of all LED circuits. Refer to the RGB
LED Specifications table for individual current draw amounts and recommended fuse ratings.
