Installation:
- First, look at the "MP3 Player Parts Bag", these wires are only needed if you are not using Bluetooth from your phone. Disregard them if you are using your phone to control music and volume.
- Place the left speaker housing (the one with the "ON OFF" toggle switch) on the left fender so that it sits flush against the surface, slide it around until you feel it set into its perfect location.
- Drill 4 holes into the fender for the mounting bolts, don't bolt it on yet.
- After that, notice where the wires will be, about center but a little lower than the speaker. Drill a hole near the bottom center of the speaker housing for the wiring harnesses.
- Push all the wires through and then mount the speaker housing to the fender. DO NOT over tighten the bolts to secure the housing to the fender plastic.
- Place the amplifier on the back side of the black fender plastic, keep it away from any heat and moving parts. Make sure the location isn't too far, so the wires all still reach and can be plugged in. You can even plug the wires in at this time and then mount the amp.
- Drill 4 holes and mount the amplifier with the supplied screws and nuts.
- Run the wires for the other speaker (and LED if purchased) to the right speaker. Somewhere along the front of the quad, keep the wires away from moving and hot parts. Wait to secure these with cable ties until after the speakers are fully installed and tested.
- Line up the right speaker housing on the right fender. Drill the same holes as the left side.
- Push the wires from the left side through that center hole and connect the wires to the speaker.
- Bolt the speaker to the fender, DO NOT over tighten the bolts.
- Run the Black and Red wire from the left speaker to your battery, connect the red wire to positive and black wire to negative.
- Turn it on and connect Bluetooth and test LED's (if purchased)
- Fasten all the wiring away from moving and hot parts using cable ties. Use duct tape or silicone to fill in around the holes that the wires come out of.
- Done! Go ride and enjoy!
- Full installation video (you may have LED's, simply plug them into the corresponding connector);

Great Quality speaker durable for hard core off-roading definitely recommend
Machine: 2024 Honda Rubicon 520.
I received the speaker system promptly. It's built on order, so it took a few days before it shipped, but that's expected because they are designed for specific models.
The installation took less than an hour and was straightforward. My only issue was that one bolt wasn't long enough, but this is position-dependent. I wouldn't have had that issue if I had adjusted the speakers higher by 1/4-1/2 inch on both sides. Including a paper template/guide would have helped with this, but it's not a big deal. I wish there were an optional wire to wire it to the sub-accessory harness. That way, it only has power when the key is on, as I can see myself accidentally leaving it on when I'm tired and walk away from the machine. Still, again, it's not a big deal, as I usually keep a small battery jump starter on board when I'm riding it away from home.
It sounds excellent and looks great. I ordered the optional LED kit as well. A few of my neighbors stopped me to look at them as they are unique compared to your usual rack-mounted speaker systems.
I like that it has a dedicated on/off switch. It allows me to quickly turn it off in a neighborhood out of respect for my neighbors, and my phone will automatically switch back to the speaker or my headphones. Once I'm ready, I can flip the switch, and my phone switches back without stopping the music.
It includes a manual volume switch and aux port, which I haven't installed yet, as I haven't decided if I need it and where to install it if I do decide I need it, even though it's a nice touch. I'll probably end up installing the volume knob, as I could see instances where that would be useful so I didn't have to mess with my phone to turn it down. I'll re-evaluate installing it after a few weeks of use as is.
My other recommendation is to download the manual for the amp, as you can adjust to bass/treble, etc., before the final installation if you need to, and avoid having to unbolt the speaker to change it. Fortunately (or unfortunately, if you're a glass-half-empty person), I'm partially deaf, so it sounded good to me as is. Still, if you're an audiophile, you may want to make minor adjustments to your preferences.
