FRONT SPEAKER INSTALLATION

This section covers temporary installation of the driver’s side speaker panel. Final installation of the speaker panel occurs after the system is tested and gone through a thorough inspection prior to reassembly. FRONT SPEAKERS 1 If the vehicle has the Smart- Lok differential control module, re-attach to the underside of the new dash panel with the original four 8mm screws. 3 4 Ensure the clip retainers and washers from the original dash panel are installed correctly and in place before proceeding. Connect driver’s side speaker to white speaker wiring near the amplifier harness area. Red/black wires are for optional illuminated speaker rings. Set panel temporarily in place without attaching any hardware or clips. Do not yet plug in switches in case subwoofer amplifier adjustments are needed. 8mm Screws DRIVER SIDE SPEAKER CONNECTIONS ● SOLID WHITE - Left Front Speaker (+) ● WHITE/BLACK - Left Front Speaker (-) ● RED - Illumination + (Optional Grille Required) ● BLACK - Illumination - 2 DOUBLE CHECK INSTALLATION STEPS TO THIS POINT Take a few minutes to double check all of the installation steps to this point ensuring the amplifier, subwoofer and wiring has all been connected as shown in these instructions. NOTE ABOUT 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. PROCEED TO THE NEXT PAGES TO CONFIRM SETTINGS AND BEGIN TESTING THE SYSTEM.

Before source unit and dash reassembly, make (or verify) the following settings the amplifiers. See the

INITIAL TESTING and FINE TUNING sections for additional information on final system adjustments and personalized settings. The chart below provides general crossover filter and bass boost switch settings depending on the Can-Am X3 UTV-Tuned Audio package you have. TUNED PACKAGE TWO-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER MONO AMPLIFIER MBQX-STG5-1 HP-OFF-LP/BP Switch to HP - High Pass (80Hz) Bass Boost to 0dB LPF at 100Hz MBQX-STG3-1 HP-OFF-LP/BP Switch to HP - High Pass (80Hz) Bass Boost to 0dB LPF at 100Hz MBQX-STG2-RAD-1 HP-OFF-LP/BP Switch to – High Pass (80Hz) N/A MBQX-STG2-1 HP-OFF-LP/BP Switch to – High Pass (80Hz) N/A MBQX-SUB-2 N/A Bass Boost 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). 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. ● 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. HP 0dB NOT USED NA-2-400.2 NA-2-400.1 AMPLIFIER SETTINGS

Confirm that everything is working as intended before final tuning, fitting and reassembly. Since you’ve

already had a Stage 2, 3 or 5 system previously installed, this initial testing is simply addressing the amplifer and subwoofer added in this installation manual procedure. 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 low frequency (400.1) amplifier. Temporarily set housing in place, but do not yet attach mounting screws. This will allow for any corrections of wiring if needed. STEP 3 – TURN ON IGNITION / PLAY SOURCE Turn the ignition key to the ACC position. Play some kind of music from the source unit to begin with an audio signal (via USB, BT, AM/FM, etc.). STEP 4 – 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 5 - VERIFY AMPLIFIER CONNECTED TO SUB - If the new subwoofer is playing, the new subwoofer amplifier is connected. Confirm settings are correct if something doesn’t sound exactly right. Refer to page 7, 8 and 11 for initial amplifier settings during the amplifier plate installation. If everything is working and producing sound, proceed to the next section - Fine Tuning. 2 1 INITIAL TESTING

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. FINE TUNING

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. 2 Plug in all switch wiring on back of the driver side front speaker panel. Test switch functions to ensure they are correctly connected. Place driver side speaker panel into its final position*. Check fit so that all open hardware and clip holes are aligned properly. 1 *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. 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. 3 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. 4 Place the source unit’s housing in its center dash installation location with wiring neatly secured and zip tied in place. Attach the four T-25 Torx screws through the housing’s mounting holes into each of the four locations originally drilled out for mounting during the Stage system install. Two T-25 32mm screws in the front of the housing and the shorter two T-25 24mm screws in back. 7 Reinstall two T-30 screws in the upper center dash (on the driver side) 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. 8 6 If removed during disassembly, 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. Otherwise, skip this step. 9 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. Ensure the harnesses you connected to the subwoofer amplifer are secured to factory wiring with 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. 5
