3. C: From under the hood, unscrew the nut on the first position terminal (12v accessory) and attach the yellow POWER wire. Refasten the nut. Unscrew the nut on the second position terminal and attach the black GROUND wire. Re-screw the nut. (Note: Some RZR models may not have a factory "GND" terminal connected. If so, add a ground wire to the frame.)
4. D: Feed the connector end of the Amp power wire through the center console to the other side of the firewall. Feed the power wire through the grommet hole and through the rubber grommet with the vehicle's wiring. Repeat for the 2nd Amp power & rear speaker wire.
5. E: Route the front speaker wire through the opening where the firewall and roll cage bar meet on both driver and passenger sides. Leave wires loose until front speaker pods are installed.

Amp Plate Installation

1. Place the pre-installed amp plate with MRB3 Brain on the dash frame. Align the hole on the top of the amp plate to the factory hole where the pocket bracket was previously installed. Loosely screw in the factory 10mm screw.

3. Hand tighten both screws.

Section 2: Kicker 6.5" Speaker Front Kick Panels Installation

Tools Needed for Installation

• Wire Crimpers
• Wire Strippers

Installation Steps

1. A: Using a utility knife or cutting tool, cut off the two plastic factory nubs in the foot well as smoothly as possible.

5. D: Cut out the OUTSIDE template (Driver/Passenger) along the cut line. Position the template on the outside footwell, aligning the bottom edge and tab with the factory panel. Using a scribing tool, mark the center of the 2 drill points. Ensure the template is flush against the factory panel when marking.
6. E: Drill a pilot hole at the places just marked with a 1/8" drill bit. Then use a 1/4" drill bit for both pilot holes (for mounting the pod).
7. F: Route the speaker cable attached to the pod through the inside footwell 1/2" hole made in Step D.
8. G: Position the speaker pod in place and align with drilled mounting holes.
9. H: With the provided M6 screws and washers, loosely mount the pod through the 3 holes previously drilled. Hand tighten all 3 screws once inserted.

Installation Notes

It is recommended to wrap the bag that the clamps come in around the cage before you slide the clamp onto the cage to prevent scratching.

Installation Steps

1. A: Find the best orientation for the speaker on your bar and screw in the Set Screws in the OPPOSITE holes of where the clamp will install.
2. B: Loosely install the clamp base to the cage mount pod with the two (2) M6 hex head bolts and washers. Place the cage mount pod in the desired mounting location on the vehicle. Once the ring adapter is in the desired position, tighten the two (2) bolts using a 8mm open wrench.
3. C: Place both ring mounting clamps on the cage using the plastic bag to prevent scratching. Place the cage mount pod in its final mounting location and secure to the clamps using the two (2) M6 allen socket head bolts and washers with a 5mm allen key.
4. D: From the rear of the center console, route the B-H1150 harness up to each speaker pod and connect.
5. E: Route the speaker wire away from any moving parts and any sharp metal, then connect to the amplifier.
6. F: Connect the B-H1151 speaker harness to the amplifier.

Placement Note: The placement of the pod depends on the type of roll cage (factory or aftermarket) and your preference. These instructions show installation on the outside vertical bars at the back of the roll cage.

Section 4: Dash Kit for MRB3 Installation

Tools Needed for Installation

• #2 Phillips Screw Driver
• T40 Torx Socket
• 10mm Socket & Rachet
• 5.5mm Socket & Rachet

Parts List

1. RZ3 Dash Panel x1
2. Mounting Brackets x2

Flip the kit around and use (2) M3 washers and (2) M3 Nuts to secure the MRB3 down into position. Do not over-tighten the nuts, this can cause damage to the dash kit panel.
2. B: Loosely assemble the top mounting bracket to the dash kit panel using (2) M3 Screws. Peel off the double-sided stick from the back of the dash kit panel.
3. C: Hook the top bracket that is mounted to the kit panel behind the dash. Lay the panel flat and firmly press down along the outside edges to ensure the double-sided stick tape has adhered to the dash surface. Fully tighten the top bracket. Using (2) M3 screws, secure the bottom bracket to the dash panel. Tighten the bracket just enough to firmly hold it in place, but do not over-tighten.
4. D: The installation of the dash kit panel is complete. At this point, you may want to install the USB/AUX input before re-installing the dash panel. Refer to Instruction 5. If not installing the USB/AUX input, re-assemble the dash. Refer to the MRB3 manual for wiring instructions.

Section 5: USB/AUX Input Port Installation

Installation Steps

1. A: Unscrew and remove the plastic nut from the port. Open the fuse holder and remove the fuse. Crimp provided ring terminals onto the ends of the (Red) Power and (Black) Ground wire.
2. B: Ensure all harness connectors are unplugged from the dash panel. Push out the factory 12v port.
3. C: Feed the wires and cable through the factory 12v hole. Keep the fuse holder open and empty until it has passed through the hole.
4. D: Feed the plastic nut back through the wires and cables and screw back onto the port. Hand tighten only. Replace fuse and close fuse holder.
5. E: Connect the AUX-in connector to the MRB3 brain.
6. G: Run the (RED) Power and (BLACK) Ground wire of the USB/Aux input port to the Bus Bar. Unscrew the nut on the first position terminal (accessory) and attach the (RED) Power wire. Re-screw the nut. Then unscrew the nut on the second position terminal and attach the (BLACK) Ground wire. Re-screw the nut.

Connecting Power & Ground Cable to Battery

2. A2: Extract both fuse holder screws.
3. A3: Attach both the Power Wire and Battery Terminal Cable to the fuse holder. Reattach the bottom cover.
4. B: Unscrew the factory nut on the negative battery terminal. Install the 2 ground cables to the screw on the ground battery terminal. Re-install the factory nut.
5. C: Unscrew the factory nut on the positive battery terminal. Install the 2 power cables to the screw on the positive battery terminal. Re-install the factory nut.
6. D: Remove the top of the fuse holder and extract the 2 screws. Insert the 40A fuse, screw the 2 screws back in and reattach the fuse holder top.
