INSTALLATION GUIDE
for the
SB-T-TACDC12/10TW3
SKU# 94557
2012 & Up Toyota Tacoma Double Cab
Thank you for choosing a JL Audio Stealthbox® for your automotive sound system.
With proper installation, your new vehicle-specific 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. If you prefer to perform your
own installation, please read this installation guide completely before beginning the process.
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.

POWER RECOMMENDATION
JL Audio recommends high quality ampliers such as the JL Audio XD300/1. The diagram below shows the recommended crossover settings for the XD300/1. For a detailed description of the amplier settings, consult the
owner’s manual for the amplier. If another amplier is being used, please reference this illustration and use similar settings on that amplier.
CONNECTIONS
Using quality power, signal, and speaker wire is essential in ensuring the performance of your Stealthbox®. JL Audio recommends using a 4 AWG power kit such as the XD-PCS4-1B for your Stealthbox® amplier. Other kits
are available should you be using more than one amplier. Signal wire such as the JL Audio Premium Audio Interconnect Cables should be used to provide signal for both channels of the amplier. JL Audio
reccomends using 12AWG speaker wire for subwoofers.

On the backside of the rear panel, locate the two recessed
areas, then measure and mark 1” down the center from the
edge as shown. Drill a 1/8” pilot hole on the mark.
STEP 8
Slide a 1/4 - 20 U-Nut through each of the 3/4” holes and
align them with the 7/16” holes as shown.
STEP 3
Empty out the storage pocket. Remove the clips that hold in
the rear panel and remove the panel.
STEP 7
Drill 3/4” holes on the marks made in the previous step. Use
caution so as not to drill through the back of the cab.

Carefully unclip the seat bolt covers at the corners of the rear
seat backs. Unbolt and remove the seat backs.
STEP 6
Measure and mark 1” to the right of each pilot hole. Enlarge
the 1/8” pilot holes in both the metal and the plastic to 7/16”.
Use caution so as not to drill through the back of the cab.
STEP 1
Empty out the back seat of the vehicle and fold the seats
down.
STEP 5
Reinstall the panel. Drill through the pilot holes made in the
previous step to create pilot holes in the metal. Use caution
so as not to drill through the back of the cab. Remove the
panel again.
Before drilling, always make sure that you are not
going to be drilling into any gas lines, brake lines,
tires, transmission lines, electrical wiring, exhaust
systems or anything else that might cause a reduction
in your weekly pay.
Always wear eye protection when drilling!
