In addition to the above items, you may need shop supplies such as electrical tape, wire

SECTION 2 –About your Audio Shade Top
2.1 Applicable Year Models:
This Audio Shade off-road top is designed to fit the following Kawasaki Teryx KRX
1000 models:
2020-2023 Teryx KRX 1000 (all 2 seat versions)
All versions means it includes sub models such as Base, eS, Special Edition, and
Trail Edition.
This system is compatible with most front full windshields that work with the
factory plastic roof.
Accessories that mount overhead on the roll cage such as wiper motors, etc. may
not be compatible or may require modification. Contact Hoppe customer service
for questions.
2.2 Audio Equipment Details:
Your Audio Shade off-road top is powered by using their
premium quality power sports series audio equipment. This equipment is designed to
function in all weather conditions. The stereo is specifically engineered to provide
excellent sound quality and volume in an open air power sports 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: www.kicker.com
Your amplifier gains come pre-adjusted from the factory and are tuned for optimum
sound quality and system protection. This means you can feel free to crank 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. We recommend you do not adjust the
gains from the factory settings without first consulting Hoppe Industries.
Please note that your subwoofer will take 20 to 30 hours of play time to fully break in and
reach its maximum output. You do not need to do anything different during this break in

Revision - 5 of 20
period. In fact, the more you listen and the louder you turn it up, the quicker you will
reach the maximum potential. Use the equalizer settings in your KMC2 receiver to adjust
the bass as needed throughout the break in period.
2.3 Warranty:
Your Audio Shade comes equipped with a 1-year limited warranty covering the lights, the
stereo equipment, and the composite 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 Shade was shipped from Hoppe's factory.
2.4 Care and Maintenance:
Your off-road top does not require any maintenance other than an occasional cleaning. To
clean your top, 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 top, lights, or stereo equipment.
The fuse box for the amplifier, radio, light bars, and interior lights can be accessed by
removing the cover plate located on the underside of your roof.
There is also a mini 40 amp ignition relay built into the chassis harness near the battery
terminal end of the harness, as shown in Figure 1.

Fuse 4 Box A: 10 amp mini fuse for illumination / radio receiver ignition.
Fuse Box B: Each amplifier uses a 40 amp J-Case fuse located under the black
plastic cover shown in Figure 2.
2.5 Warnings:
This off-road top adds up to 100 lbs. to your vehicle and is located up high on the roll
cage. This increases the vehicles center of gravity and changes the vehicle dynamics and
handling characteristics. Use extra caution as you learn the driving characteristics of your
vehicles performance with your new off-road top installed. High speed cornering, off
camber or side hill, acceleration, and braking performance will be negatively impacted by
the weight of the top.
Do not listen to your stereo at an uncomfortable volume for extended periods of time.
Potential hearing loss may result.
The driving lights provided with your Audio Shade are blinding to oncoming drivers.
These are made for off road use only, and should be turned off when another vehicle is
approaching on the trail.

SECTION 3 –Pre-Installation Inspection
Included in your off-road top are the following components:
Pre-assembled Audio Shade off-road top. (All speakers and electronics come

In addition to accounting for all of the parts that you should receive with the top, you
should inspect the vehicle in the following ways.
Ensure that the vehicle is equipped with the factory roll cage, and the roll cage has
not been bent out of shape in a roll over.
Make sure the vehicle does not have any aftermarket accessories that are
incompatible with the top. Note: This top is designed to be compatible with
most factory windshields.
Make sure the battery is in good condition and holds a charge.
Make sure the charging system is in good condition.

SECTION 4 –Installation
Note: If you have a factory roof, it must be removed prior to performing this installation.
1. Remove the cage clamps and 3/8”-16 bolts and washers that come pre-installed on
the top. Save the hardware for installation. See Figure 3 and Figure 4.
Figure 3: Remove the 2 clamps from the top.

Figure 4: Close-up of cage clamp hardware.
2. Clean the surface of the cage to remove dirt and residue before installing the foam
cab-sealing tape. Use a mild detergent or paint safe solvent and allow to dry
completely. Place the supplied foam tape across the surfaces highlighted in Figure
5 below.

3. Spread the clamps by hand, and slide them over the cage tubing. Place them on
the cage in the approximate locations shown in Figure 6. Note the orientation of
the clamp tab pointing towards the front of the vehicle. It must line up flat against
the top on the correct side of the tubing.
Figure 6: Approximate clamp locations.
4. Using a few assistants, set the Audio Shade off-road top on the cage. The top is
contoured such that the cage fits inside the grooves on the top. Note: The top
weighs up to 100 lbs. depending on your configuration. Since you will have to
lift and reach, it is helpful to have 4 people for this step. See Figure 7.

5. Remove the two front outer 6.5” speakers so you can reach your hand inside the
top. The speakers are held in place with 4-Philips screws each. Once the screws
are removed, lower the speaker by hand to reach behind and disconnect the
speaker wires. See Figure 7.
6. Reach through each speaker opening, and bolt the top to the cage using the
supplied ¼” hardware. Make sure to use the nylock nut and washer inside the top
while placing the bolt and washer outside. Torque to 7 to 10 ft.*lbs. See Figure 8.

7. Slide the loop clamps into position so they line up with the threaded holes in the
top. For both clamps, install the 3/8”-16 bolt with washer through both clamp tabs
and into the threaded hole in the top. Use blue Loctite 243 (medium strength), and
torque the bolts to 25 ft.-lbs. See Figure 4.
8. Once the roof is bolted in place, re-install each speaker. Be sure to connect the
smaller wire terminal to the smaller tab, and the larger terminal to the larger tab.
Make sure you match the orientation of the logo to the other speakers.
9. Route the end of the chassis wiring harness with the battery terminals along the
driver’s side center chassis tube (“B pillar”). The end with the battery terminals
and relay block will extend down the B pillar to the battery underneath the
driver’s seat. See Figure 9.
Route the small ignition wire and ignition ring terminal along the cage and down
the front chassis tube (“A pillar) to the opening into the dash area. See Figure 9
