Protect Your Hearing! We value you as a long-term customer. For that reason, we urge you to practice restraint in the operation of this product so as to not damage your hearing and that of others in your vehicle. Studies have shown that continuous exposure to high sound pressure level can lead to permanent (irreparable) hearing loss. - Page 3 If you are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with reading diagrams or testing signals, please enlist the services of your authorized JL Audio dealer to perform the installation.
- Page 4 Installation Procedure/Making Connections The FiX™ 82 uses removable plugs for making power and signal input connections. Receptacles in each plug accept up to 16 AWG wire. To attach wires to the plug, use a small flathead screwdriver to back out the set screws. Strip 1/4 inch (6 mm) of insulation from the end of each wire and insert the bare wire into the receptacle, seating it firmly so that no wire is exposed.
