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 (2Ω) 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.

(FIG 4-1)

VEHICLE DISMANTLE 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




VEHICLE DISMANTLE 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)

15




VEHICLE DISMANTLE

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.

(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.

STEEL PLATES & NYLON NUTS

GRAB BAR PIPE

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.

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.

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.

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.

RECONNECT BATTERY

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 POWER ON

o USB - IF YOU CONNECTED ONE

o FULL CHECK OUT OF SOURCES – AM/FM, BLUETOOTH, ETC.

CHAPTER 8 - VEHICLE REASSEMBLY

One the subwoofer enclosure and amplifier are secure, you can reassemble the vehicle. Here is

a checklist so you do not forget anything:

o FRONT OF DASH - CHECK YOUR ALIGNMENT ON WHERE THE DASH MEETS TO THE SUBWOOFER

o TOP OF DASH

o HOOD

CHAPTER 9 - FINAL INSPECTION

Here is a check list to make sure your vehicle is ready to hit the trails. You should Pull & Tighten

everything so that you know your RZR and your audio equipment are secure.

o SUBWOOFER MOUNT

o SUBWOOFER GLOVE BOX DOOR

o SUBWOOFER SPEAKER HARNESS AT AMPLIFIER

o ACCOUNT FOR ALL YOUR TOOLS.
