Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the JBL P-20t
Power Series™ component tweeter.
We’ve organized this manual to make
your installation as simple and trouble-
free as possible. We suggest you 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 Power
Series Dealer.
Autosound at its Best
Your JBL P-20t tweeters are built to meet
the same rigorous standards of construc-
tion and performance that have long
established JBL’s renowned home and
professional speaker systems. The P-20t
incorporates advanced materials and con-
struction especially suited to the unique
acoustic environment of modern vehicles.
They are engineered to provide excellent
dispersion, frequency response, and
power handling, along with minimum
size. Angle- and flush-mounting options
are included for optimizing placement
within the vehicle. Your P-20t tweeter has
been designed using a combination of
technologies that bring high value to high
performance.
The dome used in your P-20t is manufac-
tured from a proprietary material known
as Titanium Composite. This material
combines the control and damping of an
advanced polymer with the reinforcing
stiffness of vapor-deposited titanium to
prevent breakup at high levels.
The P-20t utilizes a powerful neodymium
magnet structure. Neodymium not only
improves the P-20t's performance, but
allows that performance to be built into a
small package, increasing installation
possibilities.
By following the installation recommen-
dations and suggestions included in this
manual, you will be assured of many
years of trouble-free enjoyment from
your Power Series components.
Important Paperwork
Before proceeding, be sure to put the
sales receipt from your JBL P-20t tweeter
purchase in a safe place. It is necessary
to validate your Limited Warranty.
Having access to the receipt is also
valuable for insurance purposes
and when it comes time to resell
your vehicle.
Installation
The tweeter has been supplied with both
surface- and flush-mount brackets.
Figures 1 and 2 show the proper way to
flush- and surface-mount the tweeter.
The mounting hole diameter of the
flush-mount frame is 1-7/16".
