minimizing stray magnetic fields, this
closed circuit magnetic assembly design
concentrates the magnetic field on the
voice coil where it provides superior
performance. In the woofer/midrange
drivers, this high concentration of magnetic
power is coupled to a 2" Edge-wound
Aluminum Wire Voice Coil on a High
Temperature Fiberglass Former. This voice
coil uses lightweight aluminum wire to
maintain the agility to reproduce high
frequencies while its large diameter and
fiberglass former assures extremely high
thermal power handling.
Treated Kevlar fiber cones are used

What does all this technology add
up to? A system with ideal frequency
Pure titanium has long been known to have response, excellent off axis response,
a very high stiffness to weight ratio, making
it ideal for treble reproduction. However,
only JBL has “tamed” titanium through a
special manufacturing process. The dome
of the 408 and 508GTi Tweeter is created
using special nitrogen gas cooled forming
machines which can create a uniformly
paper-thin dome without the work-

The overall quality of any system
design is a result of how well all of the
components work together, not just the
result of the performance of any one
component. JBL GTi Series woofer/
midbass or subwoofer transducers are
the ideal companion products to your 408
and 508GTi systems. Each of the GTi
Competition Series products are designed
to complement the others to provide the
highest performance with the simplest and
most predictable system design. To use the
408 and 508GTi as the woofer/midrange
Equally important is the 408 and
508GTi crossover design. Each crossover
was meticulously optimized in JBL’s state-
of-the-art acoustic laboratory to guarantee
a seamless blend of the woofer/midrange
and tweeter output. Unlike generic or
general purpose crossovers, the design of
the 408 and 508GTi Crossovers was
performed with a full knowledge of the
performance characteristics of each driver,
allowing frequency, phase, and power
frequencies.

and high frequency transducers in a high
quality system, we recommend you use
either a high quality active crossover
such as JBL’s GTX47, GTX4 or GTX2
to provide optimum matching to your
subwoofer or woofer/midbass loudspeaker.
If you prefer passive crossovers, we
recommend that you use only high quality
audiophile grade film-type capacitors
and Low DCR inductors to get the most
out of your system. The most popular
system configuration is a hybrid using
an active crossover for the subwoofer to
woofer/midrange crossover point, and a
passive crossover for the woofer/midrange
to tweeter crossover. Your GTi Competition

smooth dispersion pattern, excellent
performance may be achieved in any
vehicle. Due to the wide variety of vehicles,
there is not one “right” way to locate the
408 and 508GTi, however knowledge of
the following considerations will help you
get the most from your system:
1. The most spacious stereo image is
achieved when the speakers are placed
as wide apart as possible.
2. The best center image will be achieved
when the distance from the left speaker
to your left ear is as equal as possible to
the distance from the right speaker to
your right ear. This is most easily
5. Because of the high acoustic energy
capability of the 408 and 508GTi, the
woofer/midrange drivers must be
securely mounted in a rigid panel which
is free from resonances, rattles and air
leakage.
Installation Warnings and Tips
•
Be careful not to cut or drill into fuel
tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic
lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring
when working on your vehicle. Inspect
behind panels before you cut or drill.
Be sure to check for clearance of
window, cranks and linkages when
mounting speakers in door panels.
Do not use the speakers unmounted.
Failure to securely mount this product
could result in damage or injury,
particularly in the event of an accident.
Although the materials used on the 408
and 508GTi are inherently water
resistant, do not mount the speakers
where they will get wet.

•
achieved by placing the 408 or
508GTi as far forward as you can.
3. The best system integration is achieved
when the woofer/midrange is mounted
close to the tweeter. Installing the
tweeter close to the woofer/midrange
helps smooth the transition from
woofer/midrange to tweeter at the
crossover point.
4. You will get the best frequency
response when the path from the
speakers to your ear is unobstructed.

to adjust the level of the GTi Systems
Tweeter. This adjustment is located under
the crossover cover. To remove this cover
simply press on the end of the cover

adjustment of the tweeter level is done by
setting the switch on the crossover (see

position. Set this switch in the position that
matches your personal preference. Both
crossovers should have this switch set in
the same position.
connection must be consistent from left to
right channel to assure proper imaging and
optimum frequency response. This does not
mean that the woofer/midrange should
always be connected in the same polarity
as the tweeter however. It is possible, that
due to the difference in the distance the
sound travels from the woofer/midrange to
your ears compared to the distance from the
tweeters in a typical system, and the short
wavelengths of sound at the crossover
frequency, that a connection where the
tweeters are connected in reverse polarity
from the woofer/midrange drivers may
actually result in better sound. Because
there is no way to accurately predict this
before installation, we recommend that you
try the connection both ways, and leave it in
the polarity that gives the smoothest audible
transition between the woofer/midrange and
tweeter. When the tweeter and woofer/
midrange drivers are mounted close to
each other, the in-phase connection will
usually yield the best sound.

louder. Since no crossover is perfect, it is
advisable to keep your crossover points
away from the range where your hearing is
most sensitive. Therefore we recommend
that you try to keep the high-pass
frequency below 250Hz. This lets the 408
or 508GTi reproduce the entire range of
frequencies covering the most important
vocal and lead instrument fundamentals
and their harmonics.
Tweeter Level Adjustment Switch
For the best performance, we
recommend that an active crossover with
a minimum of 12dB per octave slope be
used for the transition point between the
Subwoofer and the 408 or 508GTi. The
optimum crossover frequency for this
transition is dependent on the specific
components used, the vehicle, and other
installation details. As a general rule, the
crossover frequency should be as low as
possible to achieve the best system
imaging. You can fine-tune the crossover
after the installation is complete for the
best sound. A good place to start your
tuning process is between 60Hz and
150Hz when using the 508GTi and
between 80Hz and 150Hz when using the
408GTi. In 4-way systems using a midbass
driver such as the 600GTi, the crossover
point may be raised higher without
detrimentally affecting imaging as long
as the woofer/midbass drivers can
be mounted reasonably close to the
woofer/midranges. This higher crossover
frequency will allow the system to play

crossovers, you will need to construct
or purchase a high-pass filter for the
subwoofer to woofer/midrange transition
point and install it in-line ahead of the 408
or 508GTi Crossover. For the best system
dynamic range, we recommend that a
minimum slope of 12dB per octave be
used.
The most advanced system designs

There are a variety of system options
available with the 408 and 508GTi. The
simplest configuration is to use the 408

yield good sound, the best performance
will be achieved in a high-end system
which includes subwoofers and, optionally,
midbass transducers. Because the 408

for mid and high frequency operation,
they should have their extremely low
frequencies blocked by electrical means in

using an 18 or 24dB per octave crossover.
In this configuration, the crossovers
supplied with the 408 and 508GTi are
not used. For tweeter protection, a 1.5A
fast acting fuse should be installed in
series with the tweeter. The maximum
recommended RMS amplifier power
routed directly to the woofer/midrange is
150 watts for the 408GTi and 200 watts for
the 508GTi. The maximum recommended
RMS amplifier power routed directly to the
tweeter is 125 watts.

As a general rule, do not turn up the
volume control past the point where you
hear distortion in the form of either signal
distortion from an overdriven amplifier or
mechanical noise from an overstressed
speaker. For the best performance and
system reliability, you should select an
amplifier with an output rating greater than
the maximum power likely to be used to
generate the desired volume levels. If you
want your system “Loud + Clear,” we
suggest that you step up to a JBL power

In Case of Difficulty
The most common difficulties are
noise, distortion, and intermittent
connections.
Speaker Break-In
The 408 and 508GTi Woofer/
Midranges use many high strength
System noise is usually not the fault
of the 408 and 508GTi. Hiss or “alternator
whine” is most often the result of faulty
grounding of the system electronics or
improper setting of amplifier level controls.
An exception to this is if the passive
crossover networks are mounted near a
source of radiated noise, the network may
pick up this noise with sufficient power to
drive the 408 and 508GTi. For this reason,
be careful not to mount any passive
materials which require a break-in period
before they will achieve top performance.
The drivers need to be broken in at a
medium volume level for about 1 hour
before maximum performance is achieved.

crossovers near wires carrying high
currents such as battery cables or wires
leading to ammeters or tachometers.
Distortion is usually the result of
overdriving one or more components in
the system. The problem is most likely
insufficient amplifier power, or improper
setting of gain controls. Refer to the
instructions which came with the
electronics for assistance. The 408 and
508GTi will not play as loudly, or handle
the full rated power, when used without a
subwoofer and associated high-pass
crossover. When using the 408 or
508GTi full-range, be careful to limit the
volume level to that which can be
reproduced without audible distortion
