INTRODUCTION MB QUART SUBWOOFER, RZR TUNED AUDIO SYSTEM Thanks for choosing MB QUART. This RZR Tuned subwoofer system has been meticulously engineered to install into your vehicle. We have made the process so simple you will be in and out of the installation in no time.
WARRANTY Your audio system is covered by a 1 year warranty from the date of invoice. It is important that you keep your sales receipt. Furthermore, it is crucial that you record and store a record of the serial numbers for each of the components that are included in your system. In the rare instance that a warranty claim is needed both proof of purchase and serial numbers are required.
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.
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 –...

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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).

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.
