DISASSEMBLY & PREP
1Driver’s Side View
DISASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE!
BEFORE PROCEEDING - ITEMS YOU NEED:
To install a complete audio system, you need to have the following items not included in this kit. If you
already have an audio system installed and are simply adding the MBQX-POD-1 kit, you may only need
some of the items depending on whether or not you have existing amplier(s) and other components.
SOURCE UNIT - MB Quart recommends using a source unit that is “mechless” with no moving
internal parts like traditional CD/DVD players commonly have. In addition since this will be used in an
off-road and outdoor environment, a source unit with IPX (water and dust intrusion) rating is highly
recommended. Finally, the source unit should have a remote turn-on output to activate the amplier
when the source unit is on. Check out the MBQX-RAD-1 specically for Can-Am X3 vehicles.
1
AMPLIFIER POWER & GROUND WIRING - The MB Quart NA2-400.2 amplier included in this kit
requires a minimum of #10 AWG copper wiring (#8 AWG copper wire is recommended) and a 30
ampere fuse at the point of connection for power. MB Quart recommends connecting this power wiring
at the Can-Am X3’s accessory bus bar located in the center console on the passenger side. This
manual shows that connection point and recommended wire routing paths. Use of “CCA” (Copper-Clad
Aluminum) power and ground wiring is strongly discouraged.
2
ZIP TIES - The use of zip ties to safely and securely tie down wires routed throughout the vehicle is
strongly encouraged. Zip tie your audio system wiring to existing vehicle wiring to help keep wiring
from wire movement and wear during the life of the audio system. Avoid wiring paths near sources of
heat or moving parts.
4SPEAKER WIRING - Each speaker panel will require wiring long enough to reach the amplier’s
location. MB Quart recommends a minimum of #16 AWG copper speaker wiring in this application.
You’ll also need crimp terminals to connect the wiring to the speakers.
3
5
SOURCE UNIT POWER & GROUND WIRING - Whichever source unit is chosen, it will require +12
volt power, chassis ground and likely +12 volt accessory connections. You’ll also need a remote
turn-on wire and RCA audio cable to connect to the amplier. The recommended power wiring
size depends on the source unit, but #16 AWG copper wiring is common. MB Quart recommends
connecting this power/ground/accessory wiring at the Can-Am X3’s accessory bus bar located in the
center console on the passenger side. This manual shows that connection point. Crimp or solder/tape
connections at the source unit.

7
CONNECT AND ROUTE WIRING
This section covers the recommendation of connecting your power, ground and ignition/accessory wiring to
the bus bar in the passenger side center console and routing that wiring to the dash area.

AMPLIFIER SETTINGS
AMPLIFIER SETTINGS
Before dash reassembly, make (or verify) the following settings of the amplier. See the INITIAL TESTING
and FINE TUNING sections for additional information on nal system adjustments and personalized
settings.
The chart below provides general crossover lter and bass boost switch settings depending on the Can-Am
X3 UTV-Tuned Audio package you have.
TUNED PACKAGE TWO-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER MONO AMPLIFIER
MBQX-POD-1 HP-OFF-LP/BP
Switch to – High Pass (80Hz)
N/A
ADJUST NA2-400.2 TWO-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER
Make the following initial adjustments to the NA2-400.2 shown at right:
● X-OVER - Switch to “HP” position. This designates the amplier’s crossover lter for “high pass”
functionality. That helps protect the speakers!
● LEVEL - Rotate control to halfway starting at
9V (dial pointing up). This represents a starting
point to evaluate if the amplier’s input level
setting will closely match the source unit’s
output at full volume. The ideal setting allows
the amplier to achieve full power without
notable distortion.
The setting recommended here was
determined by using the Can-Am vehicle-
specic MBQX-RAD-1 source unit available
with other UTV-Tuned Can-Am “Stage” kits.
The ideal setting may be different depending
upon the source unit you’ve selected.
● HP - Rotate control to halfway from 15 Hz (pointing up). This is approximately 80Hz*.
*Note: You can set this high pass crossover to a lower frequency to get slightly lower notes out of the
speakers at lower volume levels, but doing so also creates a risk of damaging the speakers at higher
volume levels due to over excursion. Instead, MB Quart system design experts recommend maintaining
the 80Hz HP crossover point and adding a subwoofer such as the MBQX-SUB-2 engineered specically
for Can-Am X3 UTVs.
● LP - The low pass (LP) crossover lter is not used in this application (position of dial does not matter).

STEP 4 – TURN ON IGNITION
Turn the ignition key to the ACC position.
STEP 5 – INITIAL CHECKS
Push the PWR button on the source unit and check the system for all of the
following:
● POWER ON - Source unit lights up and responds to button presses.
● USB INPUT (if available) responds when selected.
● AUX 3.5mm INPUT (if available) responds when selected.
● BT MUSIC - (if available) Follow the pairing instructions for source unit
and test a Bluetooth®source.
● AM/FM RADIO - (if available) responds when selected. Unless you have
installed an AM/FM antenna, you will only hear static.
● SATELLITE RADIO - (if available) responds when selected. Unless you have installed a satellite radio
antenna, you will only hear static.
● SPEAKERS - Conrm left and right channel speakers are playing the correct range of frequencies.
● CORRECT LEFT/RIGHT BALANCE - Make sure you are using the controls on the source unit to conrm
“LEFT” is the left-side channel and “RIGHT” is the right-side channel.
● AMPLIFIER - If the speakers are playing, the amplier is on. Conrm settings are correct if something
doesn’t sound exactly right. CONFIRM ALL SPEAKERS ARE CONNECTED CORRECTLY TO THE
AMPLIFIER before making any further adjustments. Refer to page 8 and 11 for initial amplier settings

FINE TUNING
After you’ve conrmed and tested all components are working, you can ne tune the amplier settings.
Through hundreds of installations we have determined the following settings are ideal for the Can-Am X3
UTV-Tuned Audio Packages. Only “A” settings 1, 2 and 3 apply to the NA2-400.2 amplier in this kit.
NOTE – Gain control, it is important to adjust each amplier 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. Listen for a clear, crisp
audio sound. The ideal gain setting should allow full volume from the source unit without audible distortion.
