IMPORTANT NOTICE
If you have any questions regarding wire routing in a vehicle, please contact MTX Technical Support
at 1-800-225-5689.
When connecting power and ground wires ensure that the red power wire is fused at the point
where it is connected to the vehicle’s battery. Failure to do so can result in damage to the vehicle if a
short circuit develops between the vehicle connection point and the product.

Step 6 - Slide the long part of the enclosure into the vehicle frame above the gas tank. The subwoofer
will face the top of the gas tank. Two brass inserts will be visible when looking down from the top and
the MTX logo will be pointing towards the outside of the vehicle.
Step 7 - Remove the two T40 screws as shown above. These screws hold down the vehicle plastic
brace under the seat.
Step 8 - Line up the larger enclosure mounting bracket with the alignment holes for the vehicle
mounting screws. Using the T40 screws from Step 7 screw the bracket to the vehicle, hand tighten.
Attach the bracket to the two brass inserts in the top of the enclosure using the included M6 bolts
and washers, hand tighten.

Step 9 - Line up the brass insert on the front of the enclosure with the hole in the vehicle frame. Using
the included M6 bolt and washer, attach the enclosure to the vehicle.
Step 10 - Tighten all M6 bolts into the enclosure as well as the T40 bolts holding the top enclosure
bracket to the vehicle.
Step 11 - The small 90°angle bracket attaches to the vehicle using the two pre drilled holes on the
frame. The two larger holes in the bracket are for the 5⁄16" self-tapping bolts. Secure the bracket to the
frame using the included bolts.Thebracketwillsitushwiththeenclosure.

Step 12 - Attach the enclosure to the 90°angle bracket using the included ST6.3 self-tapping screws.
A 1⁄8" drill bit should be used to pre drill holes in the enclosure. Be careful not to strip them when
tightening into the enclosure material. Do not use an impact driver for these screws.
Step 13 -Now that the enclosure is securely tightened in place, the power and signal wires need to
be connected to the battery and signal source.
• The Red wire should be connected directly to the battery’s positive terminal and fused with a
20A fuse.
• The Black wire should be directly connected to the battery’s negative terminal.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the Polaris®busbar kit, the Red and Black wires can be
connected to the busbar under the hood. The Red wire will still need to be fused.
• The Blue wire can be connected to the ACC / Key Turn On located on the busbar of any vehicle.
Step 14 - Connect the RCA inputs to the signal source of your choice
Step 15 - Turn the unit on and check to make sure everything works. Set the gain using the gain pot
that is attached to the orange/grey wires. Set the gain to the bass level desired.
Step 16 - The included EBC can be connected and mounted to a desired location to allow easy trim
adjustment of the bass level after the gain has been set.
Step 17 - Replace all the parts and screws that have been removed to return the RANGER back to its
completely assembled state.
