PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

Before dismantling your vehicle, we suggest you prepare all your components, enclosures and wiring harnesses. It increases efficiency to have everything ready when each component is installed.

STEP 1 - CONFIRMING POWER TO BUS BAR

(Applies to 2013-2018 RZR Models)

The Polaris RZR and the MB Quart RZR-Tuned Audio System upgrade requires a harness that connects the battery under the seat to the bus bar harness located under the hood.

The harness is shown in Figure 1-2. Check that your 2013-2018 machine has this harness installed. If not, you can purchase from your dealer or Polaris online. The part numbers are 2881551 or 2881646 depending on which specific RZR model you own. 2018.5 Turbo S and all 2019+ RZR models already contain a bus bar harness.

TWO RZR-TUNED STAGE 5 AUDIO SYSTEM OPTIONS!

Depending on whether or not your RZR ^® vehicle has the optional Ride Command ^® system, you should have selected the appropriate MB Quart Stage 5 audio system to suit your application.

ABOUT RIDE COMMAND®

All Polaris® RZR® vehicles up to 2017 do not have the Ride Command. It wasn't available as an option. From the 2017 RZR XP® 1000 EPS Velocity Blue Limited Edition and later RZR model years, you can have Ride Command as an option.

VEHICLES WITH RIDE COMMAND®

If your 2017 or newer RZR model is equipped with the Ride Command system, the MBQR-STG5-RC1 is the correct Stage 5 audio system for your vehicle. This system does not include a source unit because you will retain the Ride Command system as the source unit. MB Quart provides two vehicle-specific Ride Command adapters in this kit to allow easy plug-in interface for connection to the amplifier inputs in the Stage 5 system. Throughout this installation manual, ensure the instructions you follow for installation applies to your Ride Command-equipped RZR vehicle.

AMPLIFIER PREPARATION AND MOUNTING (2013-2018 Models)

Before installing the dual amplifier plate with the amplifier(s) in position, you must prepare the mounting area in the vehicle to accept the plate.

NOTE - These instructions assume both amplifiers and all speakers are present in a full Stage 5 System. If not all components are present in your system, this makes upgrading much easier.

STEP 1 - LOOSEN STEERING COLUMN NUTS

Loosen the 16mm nuts that secure the steering column to the support frame shown in Figure 10-1a. These nuts are very hard to loosen. Be careful. Do not remove these steering column nuts, only loosen to create an 1/8 inch gap between the nut and the frame shown in Figure 10-1b. You will not re-tighten these nuts until the installation of the whole system is finalized, tested and the vehicle is ready for reassembly.

Close-up of a mechanical component with circular holes and two white arrows pointing to features, labeled as Figure 10-1a (no readable text or symbols beyond label)

STEP 2 - AMPLIFIER MOUNTING

Mount your amplifier(s) on the dual amplifier plate as shown in Figure 10-2 (below). This configuration is critical to make sure you can access your fine-tune adjustments for crossover and bass boost.

STEP 3 - MOUNTING PLATE INSTALLATION

With the amplifiers mounted to the plate, slide it into position with the double groove portion of the bracket sliding between the steering column support shown in 10.1b (above) and the 16mm nuts and washers. Do not tighten down yet. On the front edge, you will secure the plate with the 10mm bolt you removed from the dash pocket which will also hold the bracket then will ultimately support the new dash pocket with the source unit. The finished plate should look like Figure 10-3.

You will tighten the 16mm nuts and washers next to the steering column once reassembly of the vehicle begins. This allows easy removal of the amplifier plate for troubleshooting (if necessary).

NOTE - The dual amplifier harness is designed and laid out to perfectly connect power and speaker connections on the driver's side of the amplifiers while the RCA audio connections are on the passenger side of the RZR.

AMPLIFIER PREPARATION AND MOUNTING (2018.5 Turbo S & 2019+ Models)

Before installing the dual amplifier plate with the amplifier(s) in position, you must prepare the mounting area in the vehicle to accept the plate. The amplifier plate is installed centered, up high under the dash. Use the information in this section to determine which installation steps are specific to your vehicle and options.

NOTE - These instructions assume both amplifiers and all speakers are present in a full Stage 5 system. If not all components are present in your system, this makes upgrading much easier.

STEP 1 – DETERMINE YOUR MODEL'S OPTIONS FOR DUAL AMPLIFIER PLATE MOUNTING

Factory-Installed (OEM) Amplifier ONLY

- If you have ONLY the OEM installed amplifier and are re-using it, you must remove it from the top of the factory plate and reinstall on the bottom side of the plate to allow clearance for the other amplifier plate. If you are NOT re-using the OEM amplifier you can disconnect the amplifier and remove the amplifier and mounting plate. You will still reuse (2) 10mm bolts to secure the dual amplifier plate with this kit.

Dynamix® ECU ONLY

- If you have ONLY the Dynamix ECU then set the ECU and ECU mounting bracket back in the original placement ensuring the wiring intended for the amplifier harness is routed through the gap area at the forward section of the bracket. Loosely reattach only the two (2) 10mm rear bolts for the ECU bracket (nearest the dashboard) as shown in Figure 10-4. *It is only important the ECU bracket is back in place for trial fitting of the dual amplifier plate. It will not have its final reassembly at this step.

Factory-Installed (OEM) Amplifier AND Dynamix® ECU

- If you have the Dynamix ECU AND the OEM installed amplifier and planning on re-using the OEM amplifier, then the OEM amplifier will need to be relocated elsewhere to make room for the amplifier plate provided in this kit. If you are NOT re-using the OEM amplifier you can disconnect the amplifier and remove it. Loosely reattach only the two (2) 10mm rear bolts for the ECU bracket (nearest the dashboard) as shown in Figure 10-4. *It is only important the ECU bracket is back in place for trial fitting of the dual amplifier plate. It will not have its final reassembly at this step.

NO Factory-Installed (OEM) Amplifier OR Dynamix® ECU

- If you have NO Dynamix ECU or OEM installed amplifier, use the (2) T40 screws provided in the MB Quart RZR Stage 5 kit as shown in Figure 10-5. These screws attach the amplifier plate in the two identified holes as shown in Figure 10-6.

Figure 10-5 T40 Screws

AMPLIFIER PREPARATION AND MOUNTING (2018.5 Turbo S & 2019+ Models Continued)

STEP 2 - AMPLIFIER MOUNTING

Mount the MB Quart amplifier(s) on the dual amplifier plate in the configuration shown in Figure 10.7. This configuration is critical to make sure you can access your fine-tune adjustments for level, low pass filter (LPF) and bass boost.

Two black industrial electronic devices labeled 'NAC-400.2' and 'FOOD-CAN', with no visible text or symbols on the devices themselves.

STEP 3 – TRIAL FITTING THE DUAL AMP PLATE

With the amplifier(s) mounted to the plate, place it into position as shown in Figure 10-8. Be sure there is free movement of the wiring harness with enough length to connect to the amplifier's onboard connectors.

• if you have the Dynamix ^ ECU and/or OEM amplifier bracket - Loosely fit the remaining two (2) 10mm bolts to check the fit of the dual amp plate. This is shown in Figure 10-8.
• If NO Dynamix ^ ECU or OEM amplifier bracket
• Use the two (2) T40 screws provided with the MB Quart Stage 5 kit to check the fit of the dual amp plate.

Connect the power and speaker wiring to the harness as labeled. Do not zip-tie anything at this point as the dual

amp plate will not have its final reassembly until after the system has completed the steps in the INITIAL TESTING and FINE TUNING sections.

STEP 4 – REMOVE DUAL AMP PLATE FROM ITS LOCATION AND FLIP OVER

With the amplifiers connected to the wiring harness, place a towel or blanket over the open hood area.

• If you have the Dynamix ^ ECU and/or OEM amplifier bracket - Remove the first two (2) 10mm bolts. Remove the dual amp plate and flip it over on a towel or blanket to avoid scratching the amplifier(s) heatsink as shown in Figure 10-9. Next, remove the remaining two (2) 10mm bolts from the ECU or OEM amplifier mount (if present) and place the ECU to the side as when initially disassembled on page 8.
• If NO Dynamix ^ ECU or OEM amplifier bracket - Remove the (2) T40 metal screws for the amp plate. Remove the dual amp plate and flip it over on a towel or blanket to avoid scratching the amplifier(s) heatsink as shown in Figure 10-9.

This step will allow you to continue working on the other parts of the installation and access other wiring until you're ready to power up the system, complete final testing and finalize the reassembly.

2013-2018 (non Turbo) RZR Models use both mounting plates and eight 1/2" bolts.

STEP 1 – POSITION SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE

Sitting on the floor of the RZR, hold the subwoofer enclosure up to the grab bar pipe and push it forward into place as shown in Figure 11-3.

STEP 2 – BEGIN MOUNTING ENCLOSURE

Begin mounting the subwoofer to the RZR using the supplied steel plates and bolts as indicated for your specific year and model. Start by hand-threading the bolts until finger tight as indicated in Figure 11-4, Then, use a 1/2 inch socket with a small ratchet to begin tightening the bolts. Space is tight for any larger tools, a smaller ratchet will work best.

NOTE – Ensure 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.

STEP 3 - FINISH SUBWOOFER MOUNTING

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. Torque the bolts to 5.65 N.m (0.576 Kgf.m / 50lbs in), over tighening will cause the enclosure to crack and will not be covered under warranty.

NOTE – When the subwoofer starts to seat into place, continue to push the subwoofer firmly forward as shown in Figure 11-3 as you tighten mounting hardware. This forward pressure will be critical when you reassemble the front dash for fitment into all the clips.

STEP 4 - ROUTE SUBWOOFER WIRING HARNESS

Route the subwoofer enclosure's wiring harness over to the amplifier area. Connect it to the speaker output of the mono amplifier as shown in figure 11-5.

The next section describes connecting the other wiring harnesses to the amplifiers.

AMPLIFIER AND SPEAKER WIRING HARNESS CONNECTIONS

With your amplifier(s) mounted, subwoofer installed and connected to the mono amplifier, you can now begin laying in the front/rear speaker harnesses and plugging in all the remaining connectors. While you are working on your system, we recommend covering the amplifiers to avoid scratching them or inadvertently hitting the adjustment dials with a wrench or screw driver.

STEP 1 – POWER AND SPEAKER CONNECTORS AT AMPLIFIERS

Plug in the power/ground connector of the two channel and the mono amplifiers respectively. At the same time, if you have (or will later install) optional illuminated MB Quart SR1-120RGB LED light rings, connect the red/black wires as well. Next, connect full range speaker connectors to the two channel amplifier. You should already have connected the subwoofer to the mono amplifier in the previous section. If not, do this step now. See Figure 12-1 for the connection diagram.

STEP 2 – ROUTE FRONT SPEAKER HARNESS

Make sure your front left and front right kick panel harnesses are set into place.

The left front harness for the kick panel should be routed down the left side of the steering column to the kick panel area.

The right front harness for the kick panel needs to be routed over the subwoofer, not behind, and then to the kick panel area.

The kick panel pod installation will take place at a later step. For now, you are simply pre-wiring the harnesses to their respective areas.

STEP 3 - ROUTE REAR SPEAKER HARNESS

Route rear speaker harness toward rear speakers through the console area as shown in Figure 12-2. You can route the remaining harnesses to the rear pod area by either removing the oil filter cover on the back wall or route your wires through small gaps in the body panels.

NOTE – On a four seat RZR (4P RZR) you will need to include the 4P jumper to extend the rear speaker harness, past the rear seats and then to the rear pod area. See Figure 12-3 for connection.

REAR SPEAKER POD INSTALLATION

Every roll cage angle is a bit different; therefore you should take the time to install the swivel mount brackets on the roll cage to ensure a good fit.

These brackets are designed to allow 180 degree tilt. This ensures that the speaker points directly forward. This flexibility in positioning improves sound quality and overall volume. Note the location of the Adjustment Locking Screw is at the rear of the assembly as shown in Figure 13-1.

STEP 1 - MOUNT SPEAKER PODS w/BRACKETS

Stock RZR roll cages use the 1.75 inch tube. If you have an aftermarket or custom cage you will find the correct bushings and mounts included in the box with the pods. Refer to the manual included with your pods for additional details on mounting and wiring.

Mount the pod and swivel bracket to the roll cage tube. Once the speakers are on the roll cage tube, you can gently slide the pod up or down on the tube to determine where your final height will be. Use painter's tape to measure and mark a general position so it's even on both sides. Figures 13-2a and 13-2b show potential mounting options to try out.

Once the general mounting position is chosen, do not fully tighten the pods as you may want to do final adjustments for your ear height after the seat is in position and the system is playing music.

STEP 2 - CONNECT WIRING

Make two (2) crimped speaker wiring connections as indicated in Figure 13-3 for the driver's side pod. Illumination wiring is optional with accessory rings. Repeat the two (2) wiring connections for the passenger's side pod.

STEP 3 - HEAT SHRINK WIRING CONNECTIONS

Use a lighter or heat gun to heat shrink and seal the crimped connections as shown in Figure 13-4 to ensure no moisture penetration.

Note: Do not zip-tie the wires along the roll cage or gather up excess wire until the system has been fully tested.

MOUNTING THE KICK PANEL SPEAKERS

Through hundreds of installations, we've found once mounting holes are drilled, it's best to start with the driver's side kick panel and then move on to the passenger's side kick panel to complete the mounting and wiring of the kick panels. This way you only need the drill out once, then completely finish the left before moving on to the right. The subwoofer should already be mounted at this stage and both kick panel wires run to their respective general areas.

STEP 1 - MARK HOLES USING SUPPLIED TEMPLATE

Use a few small lengths of painter's tape in the kick panel area to easily see marks left by a felt-tipped pen or pencil. Place the clear plastic template on driver's side as shown in Figure 14-1 and mark the mounting holes to drill. Repeat on the passenger side.

STEP 2 - DRILL HOLES

Drill (2) 1/2 inch mounting holes into the fender where you marked the tape shown in Figure 14-2. A 1/2 inch step drill bit is recommended for this step. Repeat this process and drill two more 1/2 inch mounting holes on the passenger's side kick panel area. Remove any tape in the drilling area from the interior kick panels.

STEP 3 - PLACE DRIVER'S SIDE KICK PANEL

Place driver's side kick panel pod in its location as shown in Figure 14-3. Ensure the positioning lines up with the holes you've drilled.

STEP 4 – PUSH OUTER BOLTS THROUGH FENDER AND MOUNT DRIVER'S SIDE KICK PANEL

With the included hardware push (1) bolt and (1) washer through the driver's side inner fender well into the threaded insert of the driver's side kick panel pod. This leaves only the head of the bolt visible behind the tire.

Once the first bolt and washer are threaded in, insert and thread the second bolt and washer for a total of two bolts/washers attaching the kick panel pod to the driver's side fender well as shown in Figure 14-4.

NOTE - Wait to mount passenger side kick panel until driver's side panel is completely mounted and wired.

STEP 5 – CONNECT WIRE HARNESS INTO KICK PANEL

Connect the wire harness from the amplifier that you routed earlier to the wire harness from the kick panel.

STEP 6 – PLACE PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL

Place passenger side kick panel pod in its location as shown in Figure 14-5. Ensure the positioning lines up with the holes you've drilled.

STEP 7 – PUSH OUTER BOLTS THROUGH FENDER AND MOUNT DRIVER'S SIDE KICK PANEL

With the included hardware push (1) bolt and (1) washer through the inner passenger side fender well into the threaded insert of the driver's side kick panel pod. This leaves only the head of the bolt visible behind the tire.

Once the first bolt and washer are threaded in, insert and thread the second bolt and washer for a total of two bolts/washers attaching the kick panel pod to the passenger side fender well as shown in Figure 14-6.

NOTE - Make sure that the wires behind the subwoofer enclosure on the passenger side remain accessible for connecting to the amplifier harness. Use some painters tape to keep them from getting blocked by the enclosure if necessary.

AMPLIFIER SETTINGS

Before preparing the source unit and dash reassembly, make the following adjustments to the setting. See the INITIAL TESTING and FINE TUNING sections for additional information on final system adjustments and personalized settings. The chart below provides general crossover and bass boost switch settings depending on the RZR tuned package you have.

TUNED PACKAGE TWO-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER MONO AMPLIFIER

MBQR-STG5-2MBQR-STG5-RC-1	ONLY LEVEL SETTING NEEDED	Bass Boost to 0dBLPF to 100Hz
MBQR-STG3-2MBQR-STG3-RC-1	ONLY LEVEL SETTING NEEDED	Bass Boost to 0dBLPF to 100Hz
MBQR-STG2-RAD-2MBQ-STG2-BTMBQR-STG2-RC-1	ONLY LEVEL SETTING NEEDED	N/A
MBQR-SUB-2 N/A Bass Boost to 0dB		LPF to 100Hz

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

STEP 1 – ADJUST TWO-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER

Looking at the NA2-400.2RC shown in Figure 15.1, make the following initial adjustments:

- LEVEL - Rotate control to slightly past halfway (about the 1 o'clock position). 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.

Figure 15-1

STEP 2 - ADJUST MONO AMPLIFIER

Looking at the NA2-400.1 shown in Figure 15.2, make the following initial adjustments:

• BOOST - Switch to "0dB" position.
• LEVEL - Rotate control to halfway (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.

- LPF - Rotate control to halfway (pointing up). This is approximately 100HZ.

- SUBSONIC - Leave in the lowest (15Hz position). If the subwoofer has trouble with the lowest notes in your choice of music upon testing, you can adjust up slightly about 1/4 turn.

Figure 15-2

CONNECT RIDE COMMAND AUDIO ADAPTERS (Ride Command Models Only)

With the Ride Command STAGE Tuned Audio packages, two plug-in audio output adapters are included. These allow the vehicle's Ride Command system to easily connect to the system amplifiers while retaining Ride Command's functionality and features.

STEP 1 - LOCATE AUDIO OUTPUT PLUGS

There are three AMP plugs located behind and on either side of the Ride Command dash unit as shown in figure 20-1 and 20-2.

Identify the labels on the plugs. You are looking for "AMP1" and "AMP3" plug labels.

STEP 2 - CONNECT ADAPTERS

Connect the Ride Command adapters to AMP1 and AMP3 plugs as shown in figure 20-3. Both adapters are identical, so it's only important you note which are plugged into AMP1 and AMP3 audio outputs.

STEP 3 - CONNECT REMOTE AMP TURN-ON

Route and connect AMP1 blue wire (remote amp turn on) from the adapter to the blue wire in audio system's four-wire source unit harness. Only the blue wire connects. The three remaining wires are not used in a Ride Command application. See Figure 20-4.

Remove bullet connector, tape up or otherwise insulate the blue wire from the AMP3 adapter as this is not used. This will protect from short circuits.

STEP 4 - CONNECT RCAs TO AMPLIFIERS

Route and connect the RCA audio cables from the AMP3 adapter to the NA2-400.1 mono subwoofer amplifier. See Figure 20-4.

Route and connect the RCA audio cables from the AMP1 adapter to the NA2-400.2RC two-channel full range amplifier. See Figure 20-4.

Note about Ride Command fader operation - front and rear speakers in a MB Quart RZR-tuned Stage 5 system are on the "front" of the Ride Command outputs so there is no function for the "rear" on the fader once the system is installed and operating.

MOUNT THE USB & 3.5mm (AUX) DASH ADAPTER (Non-Ride Command)

With the non-Ride Command STAGE Tuned Audio packages, a PSAP-2S dual input waterproof dash adapter is included. This means that no matter how you store and play your music, you have plenty of connections.

STEP 1 - MOUNT ADAPTER

Route wires from the PSAP-2S input adapter through the switch opening in the vehicle-specific panel where the source unit is already mounted. Press the adapter into place to ensure the snaps lock it in.

STEP 2 - CONNECT TO SOURCE

There is an 18 inch (0.5 meter) cable that extends the USB and AUX input from your source unit. After mounting the adapter, run the cable to the source unit and connect the USB to the source unit connector and the 3.5mm RCA connectors to the source unit AUX-1 input.

After the INITIAL TESTING and FINE TUNING process is complete, zip tie and secure any excess cable length.

INSTALLING THE SOURCE UNIT (Non-Ride Command-Equipped)

Reassemble part of the front dash around the dash pocket area. Utilize the reverse method of how you removed the center section of the dash pocket. This will allow source unit installation for the non-Ride Command-equipped RZR vehicles. The harness can then be finished and connected in the proper location. Final fitting and reassembly of all panels is the last step of the installation after testing the system.

STEP 1 – RUN CONNECTIONS TO SOURCE UNIT AREA

Run the (2) RCA audio cables from the amplifier location into the area where the source unit will be installed. Be sure to observe left and right channels at the amplifier. Make note of which connects to the two-channel amplifier and which connects to the mono amplifier.

STEP 2 - MAKE SOURCE UNIT CONNECTIONS

With the harness routed through the vehicle and everything connected to the amplifier(s), make the final source unit electrical and RCA audio cable connections in the dash as shown in Figure 17-1.

First, connect the short Delphi connector with bullet connectors to the four-pin main power harness, matching color for color with the bullet connectors. Raise the completed source unit mount to the dash area. Connect the electrical (Delphi-style) connector as shown in Figure 17-2. Connect the front RCA preamp level outputs to the two-channel amplifier. Connect the sub RCA preamp level outputs to the mono amplifier.

NOTE – As you raise the completed source unit to the dash area, ensure you retained and installed the metal clip on the new source unit panel that was on the back of the original dash pocket.

STEP 3 - SECURE THE SOURCE UNIT

Push the dash assembly into place until as shown in figure Figure 17-3 until you feel and hear a snap as the entire assembly seats into place. Re-attach the metal clip with the T40 screw as shown in Figure 17-4.

Powering up the system and initial testing will be in a subsequent step.

INITIAL TESTING

This step is to confirm that everything is working before you put the vehicle back together.

STEP 1 – RECONNECT THE BATTERY

With the audio harness connected to the bus bar, you can now reconnect the negative terminal of the negative battery cable as indicated in Figure 19-1.

STEP 2 – TURN ON IGNITION

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

STEP 3a – INITIAL CHECKS (Non-Ride Command)

Confirm connectivity of the system you just installed. Refer to the full manual for the MBQR-RAD-2 source unit to use features like Bluetooth® pairing, adjusting treble and bass or working with the EQ. You will need to set the source unit's subwoofer low pass crossover and level in this step. With the power "ON" use the list here to check the system for all of the following:

Interior view of a battery pack with visible wiring and a white arrow pointing to a component (no text or symbols)

• POWER ON - MB Quart 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 in your source unit and test a Bluetooth ^ source.
• AM/FM/WB RADIO - Unless you have installed an AM/FM antenna, you will only hear static.
• SUB FREQUENCY and LEVEL SETTING - 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.

STEP 3b - INITIAL CHECKS (Ride Command-Equipped)

With the Ride Command unit power "ON", check the system for all of the following:

• POWER ON - Ride Command source unit lights up and responds to button presses.
• USB INPUT (if used) responds when selected on Ride Command unit.
• BT MUSIC - Follow the Ride Command pairing instructions and test a Bluetooth ^ source.
• AM/FM RADIO - If using AM/FM within Ride Command, check audio with a strong station.

Step 4 - SPEAKER AND AMPLIFIER CHECKS (all systems)

• 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 (NA2-400.2RC) amplifier and "FRONT" output.
• AMPLIFIERS - If the speakers are playing, the amplifiers are on. Confirm settings are correct something doesn't sound exactly right. CONFIRM ALL SPEAKERS ARE CONNECTED TO THE CORRECT AMPLIFIER before making any further adjustments. Refer to page 24 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

When setting up your amplifiers you will refer to the manual inside each amplifier. However, through hundreds of installations, we have determined the settings shown on page 20 are ideal for the STAGE Tuned Audio Packages.

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.

Settings

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

Two Channel 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.

NA2-400.2RC

② LOW PASS Filter

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

③ 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.

Mono (Subwoofer) Amplifier

④ 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

MIN MAX

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.

FINAL AMPLIFIER MOUNTING (2018.5 Turbo S & 2019 Models)

Now that the system is tested and tuned, if you have a 2018.5 Turbo S or 2019+ model RZR, you'll now be ready to finalize the amplifier mounting and complete the install. This will be much like the earlier trial fitting on pages 13-14, but the hardware will be fully tightened and the wiring zip-tied neatly in place.

STEP 1 – DETERMINE YOUR MODEL'S OPTIONS FOR DUAL AMPLIFIER PLATE FINAL MOUNTING

Factory-Installed (OEM) Amplifier ONLY

- If you have ONLY the OEM installed amplifier and are re-using it, you must have removed it from the top factory plate and installed it on the bottom side of the factory plate to allow clearance for the new dual amplifier plate. If you are NOT re-using the OEM amplifier you should have disconnected the amplifier

and removed both it and the factory mounting plate. Replace the two (2) 10mm rear bolts (nearest the dashboard) and fully tighten them. You will still reuse the remaining (2) 10mm bolts to secure the dual amplifier plate with this kit.

Dynamix® ECU ONLY

- If you have ONLY the Dynamix ECU and ECU mounting bracket, put back in its original location ensuring the wiring intended for the amplifier harness is still routed through the gap area at the forward section of the bracket. Replace the two (2)

10mm rear bolts (nearest the dashboard) as shown in Figure 20-1 and fully tighten them. You will still reuse the remaining (2) 10mm bolts to secure the dual amplifier plate with this kit.

Factory-Installed (OEM) Amplifier AND Dynamix® ECU

- If you have the Dynamix ECU AND the OEM installed amplifier and have chosen to retain the OEM amplifier, you must have relocated the amplifier elsewhere to make room for the dual amplifier plate provided in the kit. If you are NOT re-using the OEM amplifier you should have disconnected the amplifier and removed it. Place the Dynamix ECU and ECU mounting bracket back in its original location ensuring the wiring intended for the amplifier harness is still routed through the gap area at the forward section of the bracket. Replace the two (2) 10mm rear bolts (nearest the dashboard) as shown in Figure 20-1 and fully tighten them. You will still reuse the remaining (2) 10mm bolts to secure the dual amplifier plate with this kit.

NO Factory-Installed (OEM) Amplifier OR Dynamix® ECU

- If you have NO Dynamix ECU or OEM installed amplifier, use the (2) T40 screws provided in the MB Quart RZR Stage 5 kit as shown in Figure 20-2. In the next step these screws will attach the dual amplifier plate in the two identified holes as shown in Figure 20-3.

Figure 20-2 T40 Screws

FINAL AMPLIFIER MOUNTING (2018.5 Turbo S & 2019+ Models Continued)

STEP 2 – FINAL FITTING THE DUAL AMP PLATE

Carefully place the amplifier plate into position as shown in Figure 20-4. Be sure the wiring harness and connectors are all intact and nothing has come unplugged.

- if you have the Dynamix ^ ECU and/or OEM amplifier bracket - Tighten the remaining two (2) 10mm bolts to securely mount the dual amp plate. This is shown in Figure 20-4.

- If NO Dynamix ^ ECU or OEM amplifier bracket - Secure the dual amplifier plate. Simply substitute the (2) 10mm screws in Figure 20-4 and use the two (2) T40 screws provided with the MB Quart Stage 5 kit to securely mount the dual amp plate

STEP 3 - SECURE WIRING HARNESS

Secure the wiring harness with zip-ties to complete the installation. Ensure the routing of the harness avoids contact with any sources of heat or moving parts.

Should the Dynamix ECU or OEM amplifier (if present) ever need servicing, be sure to leave enough slack in the harness so that the dual amp plate can be removed and either set aside or flipped over as it was during initial fitting on page 14.

VEHICLE REASSEMBLY

Follow along the dual amplifier audio harness and zip-tie the harness to the vehicle to assure it doesn't come loose during rides. Do not zip-tie the harness to any heat or moisture sources. Also ensure the point at which the harness passes through the firewall grommet is sufficiently sealed with electrical tape, silicone-based caulking or equivalent. Once your harness is secure and the firewall grommet is sealed, you can begin reassembling all the panels.

Here is an important checklist so you do not forget anything:
