STEP 1 - BLUETOOTH LOCATION & MOUNT
The Bluetooth controller is designed to mount in a 1-1/8 inch hole. Make sure there are no wire
harnesses or mechanical parts behind the panel you would like to mount the unit.
Choose a location that is as high in the vehicle as possible to avoid deep water or mud.
The MB Quart Bluetooth Joystick Controller is so universal, it can be disguiused
and hidden in an off-road vehcle or classic custom build.
STEP 2 - AMP LOCATION & MOUNT
When you can, try to avoid wiring accessories directly to the battery. This is due to the fact that
most UTV have their battery located low in the vehicle. You want your amplifier wired to your
accessory terminal, which is usually mounted high in the dash.
Secure the amplifiers with zip ties or small screws, depending on the area where you secure the
amplifier.

STEP 4 - ROLL CAGE SPEAKER LOCATION, SWIVELS & MOUNT
Not all Tower Speakers will require the swivel mount brackets. Whether or not to use them will
depend on the angle of the roll cage bar you mount the speakers on. The goal is that your
speakers are facing straight forward. This will deliver the best sound quality and the most
volume to the front of the machine.

1948 Ford F6 in the MB Quart booth at SEMA in Las Vegas.

This is a critical step to insure your amplifier
is properly adjusted
to
match the signal
output level
of
your source unit.
GAIN
. .
THIS
IS
NOT A VOLUME CONTROL! MIN
MAX
1. If possible, with the source unit off, confirm that the primary volume control is
turned down (counter clockwise).
2. Turn on the source unit (CD, or MP3 player). Re-confirm that the volume is
turned down. Make sure the source unit controls; balance, fader, bass and
treble are all set to center
or
"0" adjustment. Make sure that the green LED on
the end
of
the amplifier is illuminated.
3. Play a clean musical selection of which you are very familiar. CD is preferred.
Do not use radio signals for level setting. Hit play and start turning the volume
of
the source unit up.
4. Stop increasing the source unit volume when you reach 3/4 (about 75%) or until
you hear speakers begin to slightly start producing distortion.
5. Increase the amplifier gain (clockwise) until distortion is heard, then back
the level down (counter clockwise) until the distortion is eliminated. Small
adjustments may need to be made to balance the levels of multiple amplifiers.

Before
you
start
Power cable size
and fusing
It is critical to use the proper power
and ground cable. Select the size
listed here for your amplifier model.
Always
use high quality copper
cable. Visit ourwebsite for multi amp
system cable recommendations.
Be sure to use the properfuse size
for each model. Some models require
an
external fuse.
Installation
Place terminal
in
a secure
position so that
it
won't
accidentally contact the
negative battery post
Properly route power,
speaker and RCA cables
through the vehicle.
Choose a mounting location
that will provide adequate air
ventilation. Mount the amplifier to
a secure surface. Do not mount
the amplifier upside down.
Model Fuse Size Cable Size
NA2-400.2 1-30A ate
NA2-320.4 1-30A ate
,,,va
NA2-400.1 1-30A ate
NA2-500.5 1-40Aate
For power cable runs over 20 feet,
8ga is recommended.

The chassis ground connection
is critical to the performance
of
the amplifier. Choose a
location that is close to the
amplifier. Completely scrape
away the paint and use a nut
and bolt if possible.
DO NOT USE AN EXISTING
FACTORY
BOLT!

CAUTION
Always consider consulting a professional audio installer
before installing new speakers. Many manufacturers locate
speakers behind interior panels that require special tools to
remove. Be careful and take your time.
If you are using the speaker wire supplied with your new
speakers make sure that you run the speaker wires only
through safe areas. Do not let speaker wire make contact with
metal edges or hot engine components.
