CHAPTER 1 – PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

Before you start dismantling your machine, we suggest you prepare all your components, enclosures and harnesses. 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.

STEP 1 – CONFIRMING POWER TO BUS BAR

The Polaris RZR and our Tuned Audio System requires a harness that connects the battery under the seat to the busbar harness that is located under the hood. The harness is shown in FIG 1-1. Check that your 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 machine you own.

(FIG 1-1)

7




PREPARATION

CHAPTER 2 – PREPARE YOUR KICK PANEL COMPRESSION HORNS

NOTE - Do not proceed with CHAPTER 3 until you have properly prepared the

speakers with their compression diaphragm covers. Refer to the manual called

HIF-POD. You can also find this manual on-line by searching the model number.

Shown in FIG 2-1 is one picture from the HIF-POD manual which will guide you step-by-step

through preparing the kick panel compression horn speakers for installation into the kick panel

enclosure and the RZR.

(FIG 2-1)

Removing the large back plate and installing the special compression horn diaphragm covers

dramatically reduces the depth of the compression horns which ultimately allows our overall kick

panel enclosure to be shallower than you would think. This assures maximum leg room for

driver and passenger in the vehicle.

PREPARATION

8




CHAPTER 3 - 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 3-1 through 3-4.

(FIG 3-1)

9




PREPARATION

Use the provided nuts to secure the hinge brackets from the inside of the subwoofer.

Do not over tighten.

(FIG 3-2)

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 3-3) (FIG 3-4)

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

PREPARATION

CHAPTER 4 – 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 4-1)

11




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 4-2. 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 4-2)

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 4-3 and FIG 4-4.

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.

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 4-6.

Consider having a friend hold the enclosure steady while you mount the subwoofer using HAND

TOOLS with the screws provided.

(FIG 4-6)

14




PREPARATION

CHAPTER 5 – 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 5-1.

The subwoofer is now complete. Set aside until installation and wiring.

PREPARATION

CHAPTER 7 – PREPARE VEHCILE FOR AMPLIFIER MOUNTING PLATE

NOTE - Before installing the amplifier plate with the amplifier in position, you must

prepare the mounting area in the vehicle.

STEP 1 - Loosen the 16mm nuts that secure the steering column to the support frame shown in

FIG 7.1. 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 FIG 7-2. You will not retighten these nuts until the Chapter 18

section of this installation manual.

STEP 1 – Working on your bench or another flat surface, install your new source unit into the

dash plate adapter shown in FIG 8-3

Refer to the manual included in the source unit to mount and secure the unit into the adapter.

(FIG 8-3)

27




PREPARATION

STEP 2 – Insert the long threaded bolts with the molded bolt closest to the source unit

When set face down, the source unit should look like FIG 8-4

(FIG 8-4)

28




CHAPTER 9 - INSTALL POWER HARNESS AT BUSBAR

Before we position the system harness and wire everything up we need to prepare the power

portion of the harness.

NOTE – For any audio system and in fact electrical accessory for RZR you must

have a busbar installed. The busbar brings power from the battery up to the back

side of the dash. See Chapter 1 for busbar details.

STEP 1 - You will start at the bus bar. Lay the Power, Ground and Accessory portion of the

harness in the vehicle and you begin to run each of the connectors to the appropriate

component. The harness will run through the grommet shown in FIG 9-1.

(FIG 9-1)

GROMMET

29




Slice the firewall grommet on the top side to the rubber as shown in FIG 9-2.

This will allow you to move the required harnesses from the Busbar to the dash and up to the

amplifiers. You can use black electrical tape to seal the slice in the grommet now or during final

inspection.

(FIG 9-2)

STEP 2 – Push the radio and amplifier connections through the grommet. Leave them

accessible while you complete the connections at the busbar shown in FIG 9-2.

(FIG 9-3)

NOTE – In some vehicles there is an unused grommet near the passenger foot

well shown in FIG 9-3. DO NOT use this due to the placement of the subwoofer

enclosure. Use the grommet picture that has a wire look present shown in FIG 9-2.

DO NOT USE

PASSENGER SIDE GROMMET

30




STEP 3 – Complete the connection at the busbar as shown in FIG 9-4. Mount the audio harness

first, with the OEM RZR connections on top. This allows you to use the red boot on the

powerline, keeping your install clean and looking factory installed.

(FIG 9-4)

Zip-tie this power portion of the harness into place. Assure that no added wiring is near any

moving parts or components that generate large amounts of heat.

SECURE THE RED

BOOT ON THE POWER WIRE

31




CHAPTER 10 – 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 10-1)

Mount the subwoofer to the RZR using the supplied steel plates (2), the (8) nuts, and (8)

washers shown in FIG 10-1. 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

32




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.

PUSH ENCLOSURE FORWARD

CHAPTER 11 – MOUNTING AMPLIFIERS & INSTALLATION Mount your amplifier as pictures in FIG 11-1 on the dual amplifier plate.

NOTE - These instructions are always written with the assumption that both

amplifiers and all speakers are present. This is because, everyone will want to

upgrade to more sound with speakers and subwoofers.

STEP 1 - With the amplifiers mounted to the plate, slide the Dual Amp Plate into position with

the double groove portion of the bracket sliding between the steering column support shown in

FIG 11-2 and the 16mm nuts and washers. Do not tighten down yet.

Make sure your amplifiers are mounted in the position shown in FIG 11-1. This

configuration is critical to make sure you can access your fine tune adjustments

for crossover and bass boost.

STEP 2 - 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 also shown in FIG 11-3.

CHAPTER 12 – DUAL AMPLIFIER & SPEAKER HARNESS CONNECTIONS

With your amplifier(s) mounted, we can now start laying in the speaker harness and plugging in all the connectors.

NOTE – While you are working on your system, we recommend covering the

amplifiers to avoid scratching them or inadvertently hitting the crossovers with a

wrench or screw driver.

STEP 1 – Plug in the power/ground connector of the two channel and the mono amplifier. At the

same time, if you have illumination, connect the red/black. Additionally, you can connect the

subwoofer and full range speaker connectors. See FIG 12-1.

NOTE – The following shows the radio in place, this is only reference for the

amplifier connections that are mounted on the dual amplifier plate.

Review the full system wiring harness on Chapter 20.

(FIG 12-1)

37




STEP 2 – Position front kick panel speaker harnesses

Make sure your front left and front right kick panel harnesses are set into place. The front cable will be routed down the left side of the steering column to the kick panel. We will mount and wire the pods in an upcoming step.

NOTE – The harness that will go to the Right Front kick panel needs to be routed over the subwoofer, not behind. This will cause the subwoofer enclosure to not fit properly against the front wall of the RZR.

STEP 3 – Push the rear harness (with the illumination wires) through grommet toward the bus

bar and down into to the center console.

NOTE – Consider using a fish tape or wire coat hanger to help you secure your rear speaker pod harnessing with electrical tape as shown in FIG 12-2. This will make routing the rear pod harness simple.

STEP 4 – Route the rear pods harness

Now that you have run the rear speaker wire harness through the grommet near the bus bar

from the top of the dash, we can route the rear pods harness the rear of the vehicle as shown in

FIG 12-3.

NOTE - Make sure that you avoid all moving parts I the suspension and avoid all

heat generating components in the engine area.

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 pods.

Refer to the wiring diagram on Chapter 20 for proper placement in the signal chain.

See FIG 12-4 for quick reference.

(FIG 12-4)

STEP 5 – Wire up illumination

For speakers that include illumination, there is a small red/black jumper wire and splitter that

connects the rear speakers harness illumination wire to the left and right rear pod illumination.

You will make this connection in the same location as you are connecting the rear pods in the

center console.

The connection location is the same for both the 2 and 4 seats RZR. Refer to the wiring

diagram for proper placement. See FIG X-X for quick reference.

NOTE – Any excess wire that is gathered after the system is tested should be wire

tied and secured under the seat. Do not allow any of the wire harness to touch heat

generating or mechanical components of the machine.

CHAPTER 13 – MOUNT SWIVEL MOUNT ADAPTERS ON REAR PODS Every roll cage angle is a bit different; therefore you should take the time to install the swivel

mount brackets. We suggest you do this on a flat surface or work bench.

These brackets are designed to allow 180

degree tilt. This guaranties that the speaker

points directly forward. This position will

improve sound quality and overall volume.

Refer to instructions for the swivel bracket.

Also ensure that the adjustment Locking

Screw is at the rear of the assembly.

SWIVEL DOWN

This position will have less volume

to the riders in the RZR

SWIVEL STRAIGHT

This position offers

MAXX volume

42




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.

Once the speakers are on the pipe you can gently slide your pod up or down on the tube to

determine where your final height will be. Do not fully tight the pods as you may want to adjust

for your ear height after the seat is in position and the system is playing music.

NOTE - You can now wire up the rear speaker pods. Do not zip-tie the wires along

the roll cage or gather up excess wire until the system has been full tested.

43




CHAPTER 14 - MOUNTING THE KICK PANEL SPEAKERS

Through hundreds of installations, we have found it smartest to mount speakers and

subwoofers in this order.

1) Driver kick panel

2) Subwoofer

3) Passenger side kick panel

STEP 1 - Using colored painters tape shown in FIG 14-1, you need to mark the fender of the

RZR where you will need to drill. To do this, hold an empty left or right pod in your hand. Hold

the pod into place to approximate the position of the mounting holes on the internal fender.

(FIG 14-1)

Set the unit down and put colors tape onto the fender behind the pod until you can see the tape

through the mounting holes when you hold the pod back into place.

44




Next, use your Sharpie to mark the mount holes on the painters tape. Repeat the mounting

process for the other pod shown in FIG 14-2.

(FIG 14-2)

STEP 2 - Drill (4) 5/16 inch holes into the fender where you marked the tape shown

in FIG 14-3.

(FIG 14-3)

45




STEP 3 - Remove any tape from the fenders. With the included hardware, mount the pod. The

bolt and 1 washer mount through the fender into the pod. This leaves only the head of the bolt

visible behind the tire shown in FIG 14-4.

NOTE - Make sure that the wires behind the enclosure have remained accessible

for connecting to the harness. Use some painters tape to keep them from getting

blocked by the enclosure.

STEP 4 – Push the included bolt through a washer then through the fender

This will come through the fender and into the kick panel speaker enclosure.

(FIG 14-4)

BOLTS

&

WASHERS

46




STEP 5 - Using the 5/16 inch bolts, washers, and nuts, mount the enclosure shown

in FIG 14-5.

(FIG 14-5)

Make sure you use a washer on the inside of the enclosure against the internal wall of the pod

which you sandwich against the fender of the RZR. Use your ½ inch ratchet and wrench to

secure the pod.

Use a small racket and an open box wrench for convenience.

Wire the speaker and illumination if present and use the supplied screws to mount the speaker

to the enclosure.

NUTS & WASHERS

47




STEP 6 – Identify the harness wires from inside of each pod and connect the wires to the back

of the compression horn speakers.

Connect speaker and illumination wires as shown in FIG 14-6.

To illuminate speakers red, connect the RED speaker wire to the RED wire.

NOTE - Connect the RED wire to the BLUE illumination wire for a BLUE effect. Do

not connect the red illumination wire if you prefer to have no illumination on the

Hifonics speakers.

(FIG 14-6)

48




STEP 7 – With the speakers now properly wired, you can mount the speaker to the enclosure.

NOTE – The speakers shown being mounted here have already had their

compression horn covers installed. This dramatically reduces the depth of the

speaker ultimately allowing our kick panel enclosure to be shallower.

Refer to the compression horn diaphragm replacement manual included with the

speakers called HIF-POD.

49




STEP 8 – With the compression horn wired properly you can position the speaker and mount

with the included hardware. We suggest you mount with hand tools to avoid blowing out the

screws. Final speaker position is shown in FIG 14-7

(FIG 14-7)

Repeat the process from STEP 1 – 8 for the passenger side kick panel

50




CHAPTER 15 – DASH REASSEMBLY

Now you will do a partial reassembly of the front dash and loosely set into the vehicle.

This will allow the source unit mount to be to be installed in place so the harness can be finished

in the proper location. You will button up all panels in the last step.

STEP 1 – With the harness routed through the vehicle, the next step will be to bring the source

unit connectors and RCA cables to the dash box.

REPLACE T-40 TORX

51




NOTE – Make sure you retained the metal clip mentioned in CHAPTER 8. Your

source unit will not mount properly in the dash pocket it without it.

The final trim should look perfect with all dash panels in place and your new source unit

mounted in the dash adapter.

CLIP MOVED FROM

OEM TO NEW MOUNT

52




After all your connections have been made, gather all the cables and set into the dash pocket.

Make sure the metal clip stays at the top where you will secure to the bracket coming down from

the dash.

DO NOT LOSE THE CLIP

53




STEP 2 – Push the dash assembly into place until you feel and hear a snap as the entire

assembly seats into place.

FINAL POSITION

54




STEP 3 – MOUNT THE USB & 3.5mm DASH ADAPTER

Every machine and more importantly every RZR owner is different. With the STAGE Tuned

Audio packages, we include a dual input dash adapter. This means that no matter how you

connect your audio system or which RZR you have, you have plenty of connections.

NOTE – The included USB and 3.5mm will require a 1 inch hole. There is a 10 foot

(3.0 meters) cable that will extend the USB and AUX input from your source unit.

Mount the USB/3.5mm adapter somewhere in the vehicle that it will be accessible but not too

low in the vehicle where it can be submerged in deep water. Due to the rubber gaskets intended

for the front and the back of the mount all you need is a small smooth surface. If you are not

installing a subwoofer in your system, inside the glove box is a good installation location.

55




After you have drilled the hole in the mounting surface, make sure to pull all the wires through

the rubber grommet with the small “door” for the front. This seals the USB and 3.5mm input on

the front face. Additionally, there will be a rubber grommet on the rear of the mounting surface,

all secured by the large nut. See FIG 15-1.

(FIG 15-1)

NOTE – The large thumb nut only needs to be finger tight. Two rubber grommets

help the unit seal to the mounting surface.

Once your dual input and USB charge port are installed as shown in FIG 15-2, you can connect

the USB to the source unit connector and the 3.5mm RCA connectors to the source unit AUX-1

input. After the TEST & TUNE chapter has been completed, you should zip tie up any excess

cables.

57




CHAPTER 16 - TEST & TUNE

Nearly done, but it is smart to confirm that everything is working before you put the machine

back together. With the harness connected to the busbar, you can now reconnect the negative

terminal of 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.

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

STEP 1 – FINE TUNING AMPLIFIER SETTINGS

Refer to Chapter 12 for baseline settings before proceeding

with this section.

After you have confirmed and tested that all components

are working you will tune the amplifiers. When setting up

your amplifiers you will refer to the manual inside each

amplifier. However, through hundreds of installations we

have determined the following settings are ideal for the

following 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.

UPGRADES – If you installed the STAGE 5, you are set. However, if you add the subwoofer

system or add rear pods, always check back to this guide to see if your amplifiers should be

readjusted for the new components you have added.

Listen for a clear, crisp audio sound.

CHAPTER 17 - VEHICLE REASSEMBLY

Follow along the Dual Amplifier audio harness and zip tie the harness to the machine to assure

it doesn’t come loose during rides. Once your harness is secure, you can begin reassembling all

the panels.

Here is a checklist so you do not forget anything:

o OIL COVER ON ENGINE COMPARTMENT BEHIND THE SEATS

o CENTER CONSOLE

o SEATS

o NUTS ON STEERING WHEEL COLUMN

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

o TOP OF DASH

o HOOD

NOTE – It is critical to the safe operation of your vehicle that the nuts holding the

steering column be retightened to 40 foot pounds of torque

CHAPTER 18 - 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 NUTS ON HARNESS AT THE BUS BAR

o ELECTRICAL TAPE ON THE SPLICE AT THE FIREWALL GROMMET

o SUBWOOFER MOUNT

o SUBWOOFER GLOVE BOX DOOR

o LEFT KICK PANEL ENCLOSURE MOUNT AND WIRED

o RIGHT KICK PANEL ENCLOSURE MOUNT AND WIRED

o AMPLIFIERS MOUNTED AND ALL 8 NUTS ARE SECURED TO DUAL AMPLIFIER PLATE

o NUTS ON STEERING WHEEL COLUMN

o HARNESSES TO AMPLIFIERS

o SUBWOOFER SPEAKER HARNESS AT AMPLIFIER

o FRONT AND REAR SPEAKER HARNESS AT AMPLIFIER

o HIDE HARNESSES UNDER CENTER CONSOLE SO NOTHING IS SHOWING OR HANGING OUT FROM

UNDER SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE OR KICK PANELS

o ACCOUNT FOR ALL YOUR TOOLS.

NOTE – It is critical to the safe operation of your vehicle that the nuts holding the

steering column be retightened to 40 foot pounds of torque.
