Owner's Manual

Type 2 installation: Premium Alpine® systems with factory subwoofer for:
#30-JLJT-AE (Pages 3+5) or #31-JLJT-AKC (Pages 4+5):
#30-JLJT-AE and using your own favorite 6.5” or 6.75” component speakers…
BEFORE WE START:
• Make sure the screws that came with your speakers aren’t too long and might exit the other side of the pod
(where the pod hangs over the edge of the sound bar slightly). If so, you may need to use some shorter
screws, or you could screw the ones you have in enough to create holes then cut down the screws a bit.
• You’ll need to cut the tweeter holes with the correct-sized hole saw with pilot bit required for your specific
tweeters. Use the small recessed dimples in the tweeter areas on the pods as guides for your pilot bit.
(Tweeter hole sizes vary from model to model and can be quite precise so we can’t pre-cut them for you.)
• The premium Alpine system already runs the sound spectrum through its’ own crossover and amplifier
network. The larger woofers in the sound bar receive only the mid’s and lows. The smaller speakers receive
only the highs. If your component speakers came with their own crossovers, you don’t need (and shouldn’t
use) them. Instead, use the included wire harnesses and connect directly to your component woofers and
tweeters. Many models have tweeters that don’t have spade terminals and have the wires
soldered directly to them. If so, cut the wires, leaving about 4-5 inches of wire on the tweeters to
work with. You’ll cut the female spade terminals off the ends of the included smaller wire harnesses.
Remove some sheathing, then either crimp them together with butt connectors or solder them together,
protecting them with some heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape. Be sure to connect the pos+ tweeter wires
to the pos+ white wires of the small wire harnesses, and the neg- tweeter wires to the black wires on the
harnesses. Then attach the tweeters to JLJT-Pods per your speaker’s instructions (flush mounts look best).
#30-JLJT-AE Using your own Component speakers. Cut the tweeter holes and install the tweeters.

The first thing to address are the separate tweeters. Find your section below or on the next page.
If necessary.
(See last bullet point above
making sure to connect pos+ to pos+
and neg- to neg-).
Use correct-sized hole saw
with pilot bit for your
tweeters (see 2nd bullet
point above).
Install tweeters to desired
position (for any logos
and final appearance).
Now go to page 5.
