Double check the clearance for both speakers
before proceeding. Many cars are different from
one side to the other!
Speaker Installation in Factory Locations:
Your new speakers have been designed to
install, without modifications, into most vehicles
with OEM speaker locations that accept a 5 x
7-inch (125 x 180 mm) speaker. The speaker
frames also have slotted mounting holes suitable
for installation into factory 6 x 8-inch speaker
locations. Many factory 5 x 7-inch speakers use
four mounting screws, which will line up with
the mounting holes on your C1-570x speakers.
Spacer adaptor rings are included to fit, bottom-
mount applications, if needed. Each spacer ring
can be placed on the front of the mounting
flange, in between the speaker and mounting
panel, as shown in Diagram A (page 5).
It is absolutely vital that the speaker frame
fits into the mounting hole cleanly. This must
be checked prior to tightening the screws. Never
force the frame into a hole that is too small, and
do not attempt to tighten the speaker onto an
uneven surface. This will damage your speakers.
The speaker should 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.

Hand-tighten the screws evenly in a criss-cross
pattern to avoid bending the speaker frame or
stripping the mounting screws.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
C1 speakers are designed for installation into
OEM speaker locations, mounted behind factory
panels/grilles. Depending on the equipment used
or design of your audio system, you may use the
factory speaker wires or run new speaker wires to
each speaker location. You will also need to run new
speaker wires if you elect to mount your speakers in
custom locations. Select the wiring method that is
appropriate for your audio system and equipment.
If you are unsure about this or any steps in the
installation process, please contact your JL Audio
dealer for installation help
Speaker Wiring:
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 larger connector is for the positive terminal
and the smaller connector is for the negative terminal
of each C1-570x.
If you choose to run new speaker wires, protect all
wiring from sharp edges by carefully routing them,
securing them and using grommets and loom where
appropriate. If you are running wires into a door, use
existing factory wiring boots whenever possible. If
you are drilling new holes, file their edges and install
rubber grommets into each hole. Wires running into
car doors should be covered with a protective, flexible
PVC sleeve. Make sure that the wires will clear door
hinges and other structures in the door.
