INTRODUCTION Thanks for choosing MB QUART! The RZR-Tuned MBQR-POD-2 kick panel-mounted 8” 2-way compression horn speakers have been meticulously engineered for your vehicle. The process of installation is simple and straightforward. Installation following these detailed instructions can be completed in about 1.5 hours.
INSTALLATION TIME About 1.5 hours are required to complete this installation, not including other system components. ● Blue Painter’s Tape and Marker Pen ● Small (Jeweler’s) Screwdriver ● Bojo Tools (Pry Tools) ● Socket (preferably deep) ● 1/2” Open Box Wrench ● T40 Torx Driver Depending on which vehicle-specific RZR-Tuned audio system you are installing and what other components (not included in this kit) that are also being installed, you may or may not need all of the tools listed below.
WHAT FITS MY VEHICLE? TWO RZR-TUNED SOURCE UNIT OPTIONS! Depending on whether or not your RZR® vehicle has the optional Ride Command® system, you can purchase optional MB Quart source unit options 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.

KICK PANEL SPEAKERS 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.
MOUNTING THE KICK PANEL SPEAKERS (Continued) 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.
INITIAL TESTING 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 kick panel speakers wired to your amplifier, you can now reconnect the negative terminal of the negative battery cable as indicated in Figure 19-1. 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.
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. 2013-2018 RZR Models ● TIGHTEN NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL FULLY ● REINSTALL SEATS ● ZIP-TIE ALL WIRING WHILE AVOIDING HEAT SOURCES OR MOVING PARTS ● REASSEMBLE AND FINALIZE ANY OTHER AUDIO SYSTEM COMPONENTS YOU INSTALLED ● REASSEMBLE TOP OF DASH ● REPLACE HOOD 2018.
