SECTION 2 – About your Audio Shade Top
2.1 Applicable Year Models:
This Audio Shade off-road top is designed to fit the following RZR Pro XP 4 & Turbo R
4 models:
•2020-2024 RZR Pro XP 4 (all versions)
•2020-2024 RZR Turbo R 4 (all versions)
•All versions means it includes sub models such as Sport, Premium, Ultimate, LE.
•Does NOT fit any RZR Pro R models or 2024-newer RZR XP models.
•This system is compatible with most front full windshields.
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
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.

2.5 Warnings:
This off-road top adds up to 140 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

should inspect the vehicle in the following ways.

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

SECTION 4 – Installation
Note: The factory roof (if equipped) must be removed prior to performing this
installation. You will also need to remove the U-nuts (used to secure the roof) from the
holes in the cage. These can be pried off the cage with a screw driver. See Figure 3.
Figure 3: Remove the roof, then pry the U-nuts from the cage.
1. Clean the surface of the cage to remove dirt and residue before installing the foam
tape. Use a mild detergent or paint safe solvent and allow to completely dry. Place
the supplied foam tape across the surfaces highlighted in Figure 4 below.

2. 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 140 lbs. depending on your configuration. Since you will have to
lift and reach, it is helpful to have at least 4 people for this step. See Figure 5.

Figure 5: Install the top on the cage (view looking up from inside).
3. Remove the indicated 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 5.
4. On the middle and rear of the cage (4 places), reach through each speaker
opening, and bolt the top to the cage using the supplied 5/16-18 nylock nut, bolt,
and washer. Torque to 15 ft.*lbs. The bolt extends through the inner skin of the
roof and the metal brackets on the cage. See Figure 6.
