Owner's Manual

#31-JLJT-AKC with Kicker Component speakers included:
Your pods will already have the tweeter holes pre-cut. 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. Your included Kicker component
speakers came with their own crossovers, but you don’t need (and shouldn’t use) them because the Alpine
system in your Jeep already changes the frequencies for you. Instead, you’ll use the included wire harnesses
and connect directly to your component woofers and tweeters, but your tweeters have the wires soldered
to them, which is typical for some component systems. You’ll want to cut the wires leaving about 4 or 5
inches of wire remaining on the tweeters. Next, you’ll need to cut the female spade terminals off of the
included smaller harnesses. You’ll then strip some sheathing from the tweeter wires and harness wires and
use the red butt splice crimp connectors that came with your speakers to splice them together (or you can
always use solder and heat shrink tubing if that is preferred). If using the red butt connectors, be sure the
copper wires are truly crimped and won’t pull/fall out. Be sure to connect the pos+ tweeter wires to the
pos+ white wires of the included small harnesses, and the neg- tweeter wires (with black stripe) to the black
harness wires. Finally, you’ll attach the tweeters to the JLJT-Pods per tweeter instructions Kicker provided.
Flush mount is the easiest to do and also looks the best.

Kicker crossovers are
not needed in factory
Alpine systems.
Cut tweeter wires leaving
4 to 5 inches to work with
and expose copper on wires.
Remove female spade
terminals from smaller
harnesses that came
with your pods. Expose
some copper on wires.
Splice tweeters and the smaller
harnesses together with red butt
connectors; make sure to connect
pos+ to pos+ and neg- to neg-.
Make sure wires won’t
pull loose. (Open up butt
connectors and try again
if necessary).
Install tweeters to desired
position for any logos for
final appearance. Now go
to Page 5.
Cut off, not used.
