MBQX-STG2-1 HP-OFF-LP/BPSwitch to – High Pass (80Hz)	N/A
MBQX-SUB-2 N/A BassBoost to 0dB	LPF at 100Hz

This manual assumes the full Stage 5 System and provides the information for initial settings accordingly.

STEP 1 - ADJUST TWO-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER

Make the following initial adjustments to the NA2-400.2 shown at right:

• X-OVER - Switch to "HP" position.
- LEVEL - Rotate control to halfway starting at 9V (dial pointing up). This represents an input level that will closely match the source unit's output at full volume allowing the amplifier to achieve full power without notable distortion.

- HP - Rotate control to halfway from 15 Hz (pointing up). This is approximately 80HZ.

- LP - Not used in this application (position does not matter).

R L INPUT R X-OVER HP OFF LP NA-2-400.2 LEVEL 9V 10.2V 15Hz 300Hz HP LP 50Hz 600Hz not matter) HP NOT USED

STEP 2 - ADJUST MONO AMPLIFIER

Make the following initial adjustments to the NA2-400.1 shown at right:

• BOOST - Switch to "0dB" position.
• LEVEL - Rotate control to 3/4 of the rotation starting at 9v (dial pointing side to side). This represents an input level to match the source unit's output at full volume allowing the full power without notable distortion. Note source unit's "SUB OUT" level setting on next page (35dB) to correlate with this recommendation.

LA-2-400.1 L INPUT R BOOST 0dB 12dB LEVEL LPF SUBSONIC 9V 2.2V 50Hz 50Hz 15Hz 50Hz 0dB

- LPF - Rotate control to 1/4 turn starting at 50 Hz (dial pointing diagonal as shown). This is approximately 100Hz. Note that the source unit's SUB OUT frequency setting on the next page is also set to 100Hz to correlate with this recommendation.

- SUBSONIC - A subsonic filter protects the subwoofer from over excursion. Rotate control to 1/4 turn starting at 15Hz (dial pointing diagonal) as shown. This is approximately 31Hz.

INITIAL TESTING

Confirm that everything is working as intended before final tuning, fitting and reassembly.

STEP 1 - RECONNECT THE BATTERY

First, ensure the battery is fully charged. Using a 10mm socket, then reconnect the negative terminal of the negative battery cable as indicated.

STEP 2 - CONNECT SOURCE UNIT

Connect the electrical plug and two RCA audio cables to the source unit. The "FRONT" RCA outputs connect to the high frequency (400.2) amplifier. The green "SUB" RCA outputs connect to the subwoofer (400.1) amplifier if add-on sub kit is used. Temporarily set housing in place. Do not yet attach mounting screws. This will allow for any corrections of wiring if needed.

STEP 3 - INSERT MAIN FUSE AT BUS BAR

With the source unit connected, place the 70a MAXI fuse in the fuseholder near the bus bar main harness connection.

STEP 4 - TURN ON IGNITION

Turn the ignition key to the ACC position.

STEP 5 - INITIAL CHECKS

The following instructions are for confirming connectivity and basic functionality. Refer to the full manual for the GMR-LED source unit to use features like Bluetooth® pairing, adjusting treble and bass or working with the EQ. Push the PWR button on the source unit and check the system for all of the following:

• POWER ON - Source unit lights up and responds to button presses.
• USB INPUT (if used) responds when selected.
• AUX 3.5mm INPUT (if used) responds when selected.

- BT MUSIC - Follow the pairing instructions for source unit and test a Bluetooth ^ source.

- AM/FM RADIO - Unless you have installed and AM/FM antenna, you will only hear static.

- SPEAKERS - Confirm all speakers play the correct range of frequencies (lows coming from the subwoofer, mid to high coming from front and rear speakers).

- CORRECT LEFT/RIGHT BALANCE - Make sure you are using the controls on the source unit to confirm "LEFT" is the left-side channel and "RIGHT" is the right-side channel. There will be no change on the fader front/rear speakers as all speakers are on the same two-channel (400.2) amplifier and "FRONT" output.

- SUB FREQUENCY and LEVEL SETTING (if optional subwoofer and amplifier are installed) - In the settings menu, set the source unit's SUB OUT (Low Pass) crossover at 100Hz. Next, set the source unit's SUB OUT level at 35dB for the initial testing. A level setting of 35dB will allow the recommended gain control settings on the subwoofer amplifier to perform distortion-free, while also allowing you to fine tune any bass-heavy music by easily reducing the sub level setting from the source unit.

- AMPLIFIER(S) - If the speakers are playing, the amplifiers are on. Confirm settings are correct if something doesn't sound exactly right. CONFIRM ALL SPEAKERS ARE CONNECTED TO THE CORRECT AMPLIFIER before making any further adjustments. Refer to page 9 and 13 for initial amplifier settings during the amplifier plate installation. If everything is working and producing sound, proceed to the next section - Fine Tuning.

FINE TUNING

After you have confirmed and tested that all components are working, you can fine tune the amplifier settings. Through hundreds of installations we have determined the following settings are ideal for the Can-Am X3 UTV-Tuned Audio Packages. Reference source unit volume level for these settings is 30-35 with no boost in bass, treble or EQ settings.

NOTE – Gain control, it is important to adjust each amplifier gain as described in the manual. Remember, these settings are NOT volume controls. Gain controls, properly adjusted help properly balance the system sound between lows, highs and minimize distortion that comes from the source unit. Listen for a clear, crisp audio sound. The ideal gain setting should allow full volume from the source unit without audible distortion.

A Settings

The illustrations below describe the various controls. Refer to the illustration that matches your amplifier.

① GAIN Adjustment

The gain control purpose is to match the output of your source signal to the amplifier. Refer to the section B below for detailed instructions.

② X-OVER Switch

This switch will set the amplifier to have a full frequency output or to filter out high or low frequencies. The NA2-400.2 offers either a low pass (LP) or high pass (HP) filter.

③ Frequencies Adjustment

The Low Pass Filter will cut off the frequencies above the setting. The High Pass Filter will cut off the frequencies below the setting.

④ SUBSONIC Adjustment

The Subsonic Filter will cut off the frequencies below the setting. If using with a subwoofer, the setting should be set between 15-25Hz.

⑤ BOOST Switch

The Boost Switch will increase the signal 12dB at 45Hz. Be aware this setting can cause distortion if the gain is not set properly.

B Level Setting

This is a critical step to insure your amplifier is properly adjusted to match the signal output level of your source unit.

THIS IS NOT A VOLUME CONTROL!

1. If possible, with the source unit off, confirm that the primary volume control is turned down (counter clockwise).
2. Turn on the source unit (CD, or MP3 player). Re-confirm that the volume is turned down. Make sure the source unit controls; balance, fader, bass and treble are all set to center or "0" adjustment. Make sure that the green LED on the end of the amplifier is illuminated.
3. Play a clean musical selection of which you are very familiar. CD is preferred. Do not use radio signals for level setting. Hit play and start turning the volume of the source unit up.
4. Stop increasing the source unit volume when you reach 3/4 (about 75%) or until you hear speakers begin to slightly start producing distortion.
5. Increase the amplifier gain (clockwise) until distortion is heard, then back the level down (counter clockwise) until the distortion is eliminated. Small adjustments may need to be made to balance the levels of multiple amplifiers.

VEHICLE REASSEMBLY

As you begin reassembly, take the time to ensure no fastener, screw or clip is excluded. Review any prior disassembly steps to ensure you don't miss any hardware during reassembly.

Place driver side speaker panel into its final position*. Check fit so that all open hardware and clip holes are aligned properly.

\*AFTERMARKET ROLL CAGES

Although MB Quart front speakers come pre-installed in the Can-Am replacement panels, they may require removal from the panel to fit low-slung aftermarket roll cages that fit close to the hood area.

In these cases where fit is tight or would damage the speaker due to the roll cage position, remove the speaker from the panel first, install the panel in the vehicle, then connect and install the speaker into the panel.

3 Secure the front speaker panel by reinstalling all the remaining clips and T-30 hardware in the same locations removed during the disassembly process. Do not forget about reinstalling the additional hidden push pin under the driver's side dash, between the steering wheel and console, just forward of the tubular chassis support.

4 Reinstall the gauge panel with the two T-30 screws and two 10mm nuts. With this step completed, the driver side front speaker panel installation should be complete.

5 Follow the main harness from the bus bar and ensure the nuts on the connections are tight. Ensure the harnesses are secured to factory wiring with the included zip ties. Do not zip tie any part of the audio harness or the RCA audio cables to any heat or moisture sources, or to any moving parts.

6 Reinstall lower center console cover with two T-30 screws and two push pins. Refer to the top of page 6 for disassembly steps and simply do these in reverse.

7 Place the source unit's housing in the final center dash installation location with wiring neatly secured and zip tied in place. Attach the four included T-25 Torx screws through the housing's mounting holes into each of the four locations drilled out earlier. Two T-25 32mm screws in the front of the housing and the shorter two T-25 24mm screws in back.

8 Reinstall four T-30 screws in the center dash. Two forward of the gear selector and two additional in the upper center dash forward of the fuse panel. Once complete, reinstall the upper center dash access cover behind source unit housing. Refer to page 4 for disassembly steps and simply do these in reverse.

9 Reinstall driver and passenger center console side panels by gently snapping back into place. Ensure no wiring is exposed or pinched. Refer to page 4 for disassembly steps and simply do these in reverse.

10 Reinstall driver and passenger seats with the original 18mm bolts in the rear and 13mm bolts/nuts in the front. Refer to page 3 for disassembly steps and simply do these in reverse.

Wiring and Connections

• We recommend wire-to-wire connections such as power, ground and speaker wiring are soldered and protected with either heat shrink tubing or high quality electrical tape.
• The main (yellow) power wire should be connected to a source with at least 10 amps of additional current capability to support the unit.

Preamp Level Audio Connections

• Front and rear RCA preamp outputs are labeled as such. These are intended to be connected to external amplifiers, not included.
• Subwoofer RCA outputs (green RCAs) are mono and paralleled. They are identical subwoofer audio signals. Their frequency range is controlled by the low pass crossover and the subwoofer level control. Both are found in SETTINGS. See Page 18. We recommend starting with 100Hz for the low pass crossover point.
• The unit offers a zone control feature to balance sound levels between different zones. The front and/or rear RCA outputs (using external amplifiers) are one zone. The source unit's built-in power is the other zone. An example is a boat having separate volume control of amplified wakeboard tower speakers versus cabin speakers positioned closer to listeners using the unit's built-in power. Zone level control is found in SETTINGS. See page 18. Subwoofer RCA outputs or speaker-level outputs are unaffected by the zone level control. All work with the main volume.

Rear Mounting Instructions

• Check for appropriate mounting depth and mechanical or electrical obstacles behind the mounting panel BEFORE any cutting. Including the “U”-shaped aluminum mounting bracket, at least 4” (100mm) depth is required.
• Using a 3" hole saw or air saw, cut a 3" (76.2mm) diameter hole in the mounting panel. Use a file or sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges after the cut is complete.
• Thread the two supplied bolts into the back of the multimedia controller using a 9/32" nut driver or deep socket. The threaded holes are located just above the wiring harness in the heatsink.
• Thread two of the supplied 9/32" mounting nuts upside down on the bolts. The flat surface of the nut will sit flush with the inside of the mounting bracket to allow spacing (if needed).
• Insert the source unit through the mounting hole opening. Be sure to allow enough depth for wiring to be securely tied up once the installation is complete.
• Attach the aluminum mounting bracket to gauge the sizing and that it will fit over the supplied threaded bolts. If necessary, use pliers to break away the marked sections until the bracket fits snugly against the mounting panel. Be sure the bracket clears the wiring on the back of the unit without rubbing or heavily bending the wires.
• Attach the remaining supplied 9/32" mounting nuts on the threaded bolts to secure the mounting bracket.

Front Mounting Instructions

• Check for appropriate mounting depth and mechanical or electrical obstacles behind the mounting panel BEFORE any cutting. At least 3.75" (95.25mm) depth is required.
• Using a 3" hole saw or air saw, cut a 3" (76.2mm) diameter hole in the mounting panel. Use a file or sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges after the cut is complete.
• Remove the snap-in covers on the front panel hiding the mounting holes. Use a small flat head screw driver in the two small indents on each cover to gently pry open.
• Insert the source unit through the mounting hole opening. Be sure to allow enough depth for wiring to be securely tied up once the installation is complete. Ensure the source unit is level.
• Mark four (4) holes using an awl, straight pick tool or 1/16" (1.5mm) drill bit to make the markings. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH WITH THE SOURCE UNIT IN PLACE.
• Remove the source unit and gently drill the four (4) marked locations for mounting holes using a drill with a 1/16" (1.5mm) drill bit.
• Re-insert the source unit in the opening. Gently install the four supplied screws in each of the mounting holes with a handheld screwdriver. Do not use drills or battery-powered screw guns for this step.
• Replace the snap-in covers on the source unit's front panel.

Settings

The illustrations below describe the various controls. Refer to the illustration that matches your amplifier.

① GAIN Adjustment

The gain control purpose is to match the output of your source signal to the amplifier. Refer to the section B below for detailed instructions.

②X-OVER Switch

This switch will set the amplifier to have a full frequency output or to filter out high or low frequencies. The NA1-400.2 offers either a bandpass or a high pass filter.

③ Frequencies Adjustment

The Low Pass Filter will cut off the frequencies above the setting. The High Pass Filter will cut off the frequencies below the setting.

④ SUBSONIC Adjustment

The Subsonic Filter will cut off the frequencies below the setting. If using with a subwoofer the settin should be kept between 15-25Hz.

⑤ BOOST Switch

The Boost Switch will increase the signal 12dB at 45Hz. Be aware this setting can cause distortion if the gain is not set properly.

Level Setting

This is a critical step to insure your amplifier is properly adjusted to match the signal output level of your source unit.

THIS IS NOT A VOLUME CONTROL!

GAIN

MINMAX

1. If possible, with the source unit off, confirm that the primary volume control is turned down (counter clockwise).
2. Turn on the source unit (CD, or MP3 player). Re-confirm that the volume is turned down. Make sure the source unit controls; balance, fader, bass and treble are all set to center or "0" adjustment. Make sure that the green LED on the end of the amplifier is illuminated.
3. Play a clean musical selection of which you are very familiar. CD is preferred. Do not use radio signals for level setting. Hit play and start turning the volume of the source unit up.
4. Stop increasing the source unit volume when you reach 3/4 (about 75%) or until you hear speakers begin to slightly start producing distortion.
5. Increase the amplifier gain (clockwise) until distortion is heard, then back the level down (counter clockwise) until the distortion is eliminated. Small adjustments may need to be made to balance the levels of multiple amplifiers.

Remote Level Control

Some models include a bass remote. Avoid adjusting the bass remote while operating vehicle.
