How to Install the JL CleanSweep

The JL CleanSweep is a digital audio processor that interfaces an original equipment manufacturer's vehicle audio system to after-sales speakers and amplifiers. Installing a JL CleanSweep lets you avoid the difficulty of removing and replacing a factory audio system in made-to-measure dashboard housing. The JL CleanSweep adjusts the audio from the factory system rather than modifying the electronic control unit. In this respect, the CleanSweep is portable from one vehicle to another and not reliant upon a specific car make.
