Owner's Manual

CAUTION:
1) Don’t let the banana plug prongs touch any metal when the pod is unhooked, you could damage your amplifier.
2) Never place objects on top of the pod, you may break the hangers.
3) Keep heavy, shifting cargo away from the pod; objects hitting the pod may break the hangers.
4) Make sure the subwoofer is screwed in with all eight screws and the foam gasket is between the woofer and the pod for an air-tight seal. If you’re
using your own subwoofer and it only has screw holes in the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions, add 4 more screw holes between each of the
existing holes.
5) Screw the subwoofer screws in tightly, but don’t strip the plastic of the pod by screwing them in too tightly.
6) Hand-tighten the knobs to the tailgate carefully so as not to crack the plastic!
7) Make sure you plug in the pod correctly every time (i.e. pos+ to pos.+ and neg.- to neg.- You might want to mark it as such to avoid damaging your
amplifier and subwoofer.
8) Speaker Hole Cut-Out: From the factory, the hole must be made to accommodate subwoofers that require smaller mounting holes, so you may
have to cut the hole larger to accommodate a particular subwoofer. Easily done with a jig-saw or rotary cut-out tool, just use caution and take
your time.
Troubleshooting:
Rattling/Vibration – Make sure the subwoofer is screwed in tightly and that air is not escaping from the pod, causing the vibration. Sometimes when
conducting a sound check, the vibration you hear will not be detectable when driving the vehicle. CJ owners check to make sure all the metal
snaps for your soft-top are screwed in tightly. All models, check that all hardware attached to the tailgate is fastened tightly; all screws are tight and
not stripped, etc. Every vehicle is a little different and if something is vibrating, you may have to get creative: locate it and figure a way to isolate it.
If you are throwing enormous amounts of power to the subwoofer, the metal of the tailgate itself may rattle. There are two ways to fix this: 1) Less
Power. 2) Applying Dynamat® to the tailgate (the interior panel of the tailgate that the pod rests on).
