2.2 Audio Equipment Details:
Your Audio Mini off-road sound system is powered by using
their marine series audio equipment. This equipment is designed to function in all
weather conditions with an IPX6 water resistance (powerful water jet) rating. The stereo
is specifically engineered to provide excellent sound quality and volume in an open air
enviroment so you can enjoy your music on the go.
To learn more details about your stereo system, you can access product information and
manuals for the stereo equipment here:
KMC2 receiver: https://www.kicker.com/46KMC2
Speakers: https://www.kicker.com/41KM604W
You can feel free to crank up the volume without much worry of harming your system.
However, it is wise to use a little common sense. If you hear any distortion, back off a
little.

Revision - 5 of 18
Use the equalizer settings in your KMC2 receiver to adjust the settings to your
preferences.
2.3 Warranty:
Your Audio Mini comes equipped with a 1 year limited warranty covering the light, the
stereo equipment, and the fiberglass enclosure. The date of warranty coverage will be
determined by the registration date of the warranty card or online warranty registration.
http://www.motortrike.com/TrikeAccWarranty.aspx
If the warranty is not registered with Hoppe, the warranty period will begin when the
Audio Mini was shipped from Hoppe's factory.
2.4 Care and Maintenance:
Your off-road sound system does not require any maintenance other than an occasional
cleaning. To clean your audio system, simply hose off or power wash from a distance. If
needed, use a mild automotive soap and sponge or brush. Use common sense. Do not use
a high pressure power washer up close where it could cut, scar, or force water beyond the
design intent of the enclosure, light, or stereo equipment.
There is an inline fuse, close to the end of the chassis harness where it connects to the
terminal posts. It can be accessed by pulling the cap off of the fuse holder. There is also a
mini 40 amp ignition relay built into the chassis harness next to the inline fuse. See
Figure 1.

2.5 Warnings:
This off-road system adds up to 25 lbs. to your vehicle and is located up high on the roll
cage. This increases the vehicle’s center of gravity and changes the vehicle dynamics and
handling characteristics. Use extra caution as you learn the driving characteristics of your
vehicle with your new off-road sound system installed. High speed cornering, off camber
or side hill, acceleration, and braking performance will be negatively impacted by the
weight of the sound system.
Do not listen to your stereo at an uncomfortable volume for extended periods of time.
Potential hearing loss may result.

Audio Mini. Remove the roof, and then remove the screw shown in Figure 2 to
gain access to the front cross member bolts.
Figure 2: Remove screw to access cross member bolt.
2. Remove the factory bolt from the driver’s side of the front cross member as
indicated in Figure 3. The bolt will be reused.
Figure 3: Remove the factory cross member bolt.

3. Place the provided loop clamps in the approximate mounting locations on the
outside roll bars. The Audio Mini brackets will rest on the loop clamps and be
tightened in the following steps. See Figure 4.
Figure 4: Approximate locations of the loop clamps.
4. Place the driver’s side bracket on the inside of the cross member. Use the factory
bolt and loosely tighten it until the bracket is secured to the loop clamp in the
following steps. Verify correct orientation of the mounting bracket. See Figure 5.
Note: Driver side bracket shown. (Passenger side similar)

5. Use the supplied 3/8”-16 x 1” bolts, washers, and nylock nuts to secure the loop
clamp to the mounting bracket. Tighten both the loop clamp bolt and the front
cross member bolt to secure to bracket to the roll cage. See Figure 6.
Figure 6: Hardware for mounting the loop clamps to the brackets.
6. Repeat Steps 1, 2, 4, and 5 for the passenger side bracket.

8. Remove the Torx screw on top of the driver’s side dash by the front frame tube.
The harness will route under this panel in later steps. See Figure 8.
Figure 8: Remove the dash Torx screw.
9. Install the chassis harness reusing the factory nuts on the terminal posts. Connect
the orange ignition wire to the terminal post labeled “ACC”, the black ground
wire to the black (negative) terminal post, and the red power wire to the red
(positive) terminal post. Be sure to connect the harness wires with any factory
cables or wires, and retighten the factory hardware. Run the connector under the
coolant tank, along the frame tube, toward the driver’s front fender well. See
Figure 9.

13. Using an assistant, connect the two mating connectors and hang the Audio Mini
off-road sound system on the brackets using the supplied ¼”-20 bolts and washers
(loosely tightened). Note: The sound system weighs up to 25 lbs. Since you will
have to lift and bolt each end, it is helpful to have an assistant for this step.
Note: The harness connector will not fit between the frame and the Audio
Mini once installed, so it is important to follow this step closely to not repeat
work. See Figure 15 and Figure 16.
Figure 15: Install the ¼”-20 bolts and washers to mount the Audio Mini to the brackets.
Figure 16: Loosely install the sound system on the mounting brackets.
14. Tighten the 4 mounting bracket bolts after achieving the desired viewing position
relative to the roof or roll cage. A slot in the front hole allows up-down
movement, while the rear hole allows the Audio Mini to pivot to achieve your
desired viewing position. See Figure 17.

15. Tighten all zip ties, and secure the chassis harness to the roll cage under the hood.
Make sure the wires are secured away from any moving suspension components
and the radiator fan under the hood.
16. Reinstall the hood and Torx screws. See Figure 2, Figure 7, and Figure 8.
Reinstall your roof if it was removed.
17. You are now ready to enjoy the music and lighting provided by your Audio Mini
off-road sound system. Basic operation works as follows:
