IMPORTANT Before you mount the speakers into the pods and mount the pods to the RZR, you need to prepare the rear of the compression horn speakers. This entails removing the back plate from each speaker and covering the exposed compression horn diaphragm with the included cover. The purpose of this process is to remove some of the depth of the speaker which in turn reduces the amount of space you sacrifice in the foot well brilliant.

TOOLS Required T-40 Torx Bit Driver Sharpie or Marker Painters Tape 2 inch 1/2 inch Socket #2 Philips Screw Driver 1/2 inch open wrench Small or Angled Ratchet Work light Drill 1/8 inch drill bit 5/16 inch drill bit NH1-120B Preparation Preparing your Compression Horn Diaphragm In order to fit your compression horn speakers into the pod, you need to remove the back plate. This keeps the mounting depth of the pod as shallow as possible. We designed the pods with a simple modification to the rear of the speaker. We provide a protective plate because it is very important to the performance of your compression horns to cover the compression diaphragm element. STEP 1 Working on a flat surface, turn your speaker face down
STEP 2 Using a straight edge, gently peel up the back sticker STEP 3 Set the cool sticker aside so you can mount it on your machine later STEP 4 With a #2 Phillips, hand operated screw driver, remove 4 screws from the back plate. Save these screws, they will be used to install the diaphragm cover plate.
STEP 5 Set the back plate aside, it is un-needed DO NOT TOUCH THE DOME DO NOT LEAVE IT EXPOSED STEP 6 Use the supplied compression diaphragm cover to position over the aluminum dome.
STEP 7 Use the same screws you removed from the back plate to secure the compression dome diaphragm cover. Do not use a power drill. These screws should only be hand tight. Repeat the process for the other compression horn speaker. SET THE SPEAKERS ASIDE TO PREPARE MOUNTING THE PODS TO RZR
MOUNTING THE PODS TO RZR STEP 8 - TAPE IT OFF Using colored painters tape, you need to mark the fender of the RZR where you will need to drill. To do this, hold an empty left or right pod in your hand. Hold the pod into place to approximate the position of the mounting holes on the internal fender. Set the unit down and put colors tape onto the fender behind the pod until you can see the tape through the mounting holes when you hold the pod back into place. Next, use your Sharpie to mark the mount holes on the painters tape. Repeat the mounting process for the other pod. STEP 9 - DRILL Drill (4) 5/16 inch holes into the fender where you marked the tape.
STEP 10 - SECURE THE WIRES Connect the wires from the amplifier or amplifier harness to the connectors on the back of the pods, left and right. Do not let it fall behind the pod as you are mounting. STEP 11 - MOUNT THE PODS Remove any tape from the fenders. With the included hardware mount the pod. The bolt and 1 washer mount through the fender, into the pod. This leaves only the head of the bolt visible behind the tire. Make certain you use a washer on the inside against the internal wall of the pod against the fender of the RZR. Use your ½ inch ratchet and wrench to secure the pod. Mount the other RZR pod in the same manner.
STEP 12 - PREPARE THE WIRES Secure the harness wires from inside each pod and connect the wires to the back of the compression horn speakers. Connect speaker wires
STEP 13 MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS IN PODS Working with each speaker as closely to the pod as possible, complete the wiring of the speaker to the pod and mount the speakers to the pod. NOTE - If you would like to rotate the speaker left or right to change the angle of level. Now is the time, use your 1/8 inch bit to do so now before final mounting of the speakers. Using the included stainless steel screws mount the speakers to the pods. Use a hand screw driver to avoid damage to the pod. STEP 14 - AUDIO SHAKE DOWN Turn on your audio system. Check for the following, using the balance on the source unit to confirm Left is left and Right is right. Listen for a clear, crisp audio sound.
