WOOFER iNSTALLATiON:
If you will be using the factory speaker wires, it
may be necessary to change the terminations. This
may be accomplished by using an adaptor plug or
simply by cutting the factory connector off and
using the supplied crimp connectors to terminate
the speaker wires. The large connector is for the
positive (
+
) terminal and the small connector is for
the negative (–) terminal of each woofer.
Keep in
mind that the woofer wires must be connected to
the woofer outputs of the crossovers supplied with
your system as shown in the diagram on page 5.
Be
sure to observe correct polarity in your connections.
If you are unsure about any of these issues, contact
your JL Audio dealer for installation assistance.
Your new speakers have been designed to install,
without modifications, into most vehicles that accept
a 5x7-inch (125 x 180 mm) speaker. Most factory
5x7-inch speakers use four mounting screws which
will line up with the mounting holes on your woofers.
The ZR woofers offer multiple sets of mounting
holes to accommodate different vehicles’ factory hole
patterns/orientations. In addition, a spacer gasket
has been included to fine-tune speaker fitment. This
gasket can be mounted on the front of the mounting
flange or the back of the mounting flange.
It is absolutely vital that the speaker frame fits into
the mounting hole cleanly. This must be checked
prior to tightening the screws. Do not force the
frame into a hole that is too small. Do not tighten
the speaker onto an uneven surface. This will
damage your speakers. The speaker should also fit
so that air does not leak around the mounting flange.
Air leaks will cause a severe degradation in sound
quality. Seal any air leaks with an automotive-grade
sealant material.
Use the supplied mounting clips unless the factory
holes already feature threaded inserts.
Hand-tighten the screws evenly.

Double check the clearance for both
speakers before proceeding. Many cars are
different from one side to the other!
