SUBWOOFERS & SYSTEMS

This subwoofer system is designed to augment any full range audio system for RZR regardless of brand. If you are adding this subwoofer system to a non-MB Quart system, you will use the wiring manual included with the subwoofer amplifier for integration into your system design.

If you are adding this system to an MB Quart system that incorporates the full MB Quart system that utilizes the dual amplifier harness, please review to the manual for that system with regards to the wiring of the amplifier and subwoofer.

TIME & TOOLS

You will need about 1.5 HOURS to complete this installation depending on who is “helping.”

The following are a list of tools you will need for any of the MB Quart UTV/RZR Tuned Audio packages. Depending on which system you are installing, you may or may not need all of them.

You might also find you own more specialized tools to get the job done. Share the pics of your installation on our social channels to help others.

Besides the tools listed, you will also find it helpful to have some music ready for the TEST &

TUNE step. We recommend:



USB with Music pre-loaded



Bluetooth Device like a phone with music or music app

CHAPTER 1 – PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

Before you start dismantling your machine, we suggest you prepare all your components, enclosures.

These steps will follow the CHAPTERS of the Installation Videos when completed. Additionally, it will make life less stressful to have everything ready when you are ready to put each component into the machine.

PREPARATION

CHAPTER 2 - PREP SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE & MOUNT

If your subwoofer is not preinstalled in the enclosure, you will need to prepare the unit by installing the clips that will hold the door from your OEM glove box.

Next you will wire the subwoofers two voice coils and screw the subwoofer to the enclosure.

STEP 1 – MOUNT CLIPS

Mount the included hinge brackets for the OEM glove box door to be fitted on to your subwoofer as shown in FIG 2-1 through 2-4.

(FIG 2-1)




7

PREPARATION

Use the provided nuts to secure the hinge brackets from the inside of the subwoofer.

Do not over tighten.

(FIG 2-2)

The clip with the closed hole mounts on the driver side with the screws on the inside where the glove box door will cover the screws.

(FIG 2-3) (FIG 2-4)

The hinge clip with the open hole mounts on the passenger side with the screws on the inside where the door will cover the screws shown above.




8

PREPARATION

CHAPTER 3 – SUBWOOFER INSTALL INTO ENCLOSURE

STEP 1 – INSTALL THE SUBWOOFER

Set your subwoofer enclosure on a flat surface as shown in FIG 4-1. Put the subwoofer enclosure on its back and extend the harness from inside the enclosure as shown in FIG 4-1.

(FIG 3-1)




9

PREPARATION

If your subwoofer was not preinstalled, you will wire the woofer with the dual voice coils to 2 ohms (indicated with the Ω symbol) as pictured in FIG 3-2. We have prepared the internal harness so you cannot make a mistake. Wiring the subwoofer for 2 ohms (2 Ω) will allow the subwoofer to develop maxximum power from the amplifier by perfectly balancing the impedance with the amplifiers power output.

(FIG 3-2)

Use the connection where two wires will insert into one voice coil connector and then route the other end of the wire to opposite connector, shown in FIG 3-3 and FIG 3-4.

NOTE – Wiring code is solid white connects to the (+) Red terminal and White/Black Stripe connects to the (-) Negative

To open the terminals push down on the connector to open, push the soldered ends through the hole and release the connector to establish a good electrical connection.

PREPARATION

STEP 2 – SECURE THE SUBWOOFER TO THE ENCLOSURE

Due to the shape of the enclosure it can be very difficult to balance the subwoofer enclosure and screw in the speaker for one person shown in FIG 3-6.

Consider having a friend hold the enclosure steady while you mount the subwoofer using HAND

TOOLS with the screws provided.

(FIG 3-6)




12

PREPARATION

CHAPTER 4 – REMOVE & REINSTALL THE GLOVE BOX DOOR

With a small amount of pressure you can bend up on the center portion of your OEM glove box door and remove it from the brackets.

In a reverse movement you can now reinstall this door onto your new subwoofer glove box to give your subwoofer a stealth appearance as shown in FIG 4-1.

The subwoofer is now complete. Set aside until installation and wiring.

CHAPTER 5 - VEHICLE DISASSEMBLY

STEP 1 – REMOVE HOOD

Start with removing the hood. This is where you will access the bus bar (FIG 5-1). Confirm that your machine has the busbar installed by the dealer or by you. If your busbar harness has not been installed, see Chapter 1 of this manual for clarification

(FIG 5-1)




14

STEP 2 - REMOVE TOP OF DASH

Remove the top of the dash shown in FIG 5-2 by removing the screws.

(FIG 5-2)

STEP 3 – REMOVE THE GRAB BAR

Remove the grab bar shown in FIG 6-3 by removing the retaining clip and pin and firmly pulling the grip toward the rear of the vehicle.

(FIG 5-3)




STEP 4 – PULLING FRONT DASH

Remove 4 Torx screws from the front of the dash

STEP 6 – REMOVING THE GLOVE BOX

Remove 2 - 10mm bolts on the top of the subwoofer where it is fastened to the internal framework. See holes in FIG 5-9. The glove box will easily slide out.

We will use a different mounting method for the new subwoofer.

CHAPTER 6 – MOUNT THE SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE

With the glove box door in position and the subwoofer installed in the enclosure, you are ready to mount the subwoofer back into the glove box location.

Sitting on the floor of the RZR, hold the subwoofer enclosure up to the grab bar pipe.

GRAB BAR PIPE

STEEL PLATES & NYLON NUTS

(FIG 6-1)

Mount the subwoofer to the RZR using the supplied steel plates (2), the (8) nuts, and (8) washers shown in FIG 6-1. Use your ½ inch socket with a small ratchet tool to start to tighten the nuts. Space is tight for any larger tools, a smaller ratchet will work best.

NOTE – Make sure the wiring harness from the subwoofer does not get pinched behind the enclosure. This will prevent the enclosure from seating properly and will not allow the front dash to snap into place properly.

The harness should be routed over the top of the push bar frame to the subwoofer amplifier connector.




19

Tighten a few threads at a time on each bolt to allow the subwoofer to rise up against the pull bar frame evenly. This will allow the subwoofer to seat properly against the frame of the vehicle.

As the subwoofer comes up against the bar, before it is finally secure, make sure that the speaker wire is not behind the enclosure.

PUSH ENCLOSURE FORWARD

AS YOU TIGHTEN

NOTE - When the subwoofer starts to seat into place, push the subwoofer firmly forward as you tighten the last thread with the mounting nuts.

This forward pressure will be critical when you reassemble the front dash for fitment into all the clips.




20

NOTE – Once the amplifier is connected, make the following adjustments to the setting. See CHAPTER 7 – TEST & TUNE for additional information on final system adjustments and best-settings.

CHAPTER 7 - TEST & TUNE

Nearly done, but it is smart to confirm that everything is working before you put the machine back together. With the amplifier and subwoofer wired and connected to the system, you are ready to power up the system.

STEP 1 – Reconnect the battery.

RECONNECT BATTERY

Turn the ignition key to the ACC position and push the PWR button on your source unit.

NOTE – The following instructions are for confirming connectivity of the system you just installed. Refer to the full manual for the source unit to use features like

Bluetooth® pairing, adjusting treble and bass or working with the EQ.




22

STEP 2 – Here is a check list so you know you did not forget something.

With the power “ON” use the list here to check the system for all of the following. Make sure you are using the controls on the source unit to confirm Left is Left and Right is Right. There will be no change from Front to Rear as all speakers are on the same 2 channel amplifiers. o P OWER ON o USB I F YOU CONNECTED ONE o F ULL C HECK O UT O F S OURCES
