AMPLIFIER SETTINGS
Before dash reassembly, make (or verify) the following settings of the amplifier. See the INITIAL TESTING
and FINE TUNING sections for additional information on final system adjustments and personalized
settings.
The chart below provides general crossover filter and bass boost switch settings depending on the Can-Am
X3 UTV-Tuned Audio package you have.

ADJUST NA2-400.2 TWO-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER
Make the following initial adjustments to the NA2-400.2 shown at right:
●
X-OVER
- Switch to “HP” position. This designates the amplifier’s crossover filter for “high pass”
functionality. That helps protect the speakers!
●
LEVEL
- Rotate control to halfway starting at
9V (dial pointing up). This represents a starting
point to evaluate if the amplifier’s input level
setting will closely match the source unit’s
output at full volume. The ideal setting allows
the amplifier to achieve full power without
notable distortion.
The setting recommended here was
determined by using the Can-Am vehicle-
specific MBQX-RAD-1 source unit available
with other UTV-Tuned Can-Am “Stage” kits.
The ideal setting may be different depending
upon the source unit you’ve selected.
●
HP
- Rotate control to halfway from 15 Hz (pointing up). This is approximately 80Hz*.
*Note:
You
can
set this high pass crossover to a lower frequency to get slightly lower notes out of the
speakers at lower volume levels, but doing so also creates a risk of damaging the speakers at higher
volume levels due to over excursion. Instead, MB Quart system design experts recommend maintaining
the 80Hz HP crossover point and adding a subwoofer such as the MBQX-SUB-2 engineered specifically
for Can-Am X3 UTVs.
●
LP
- The low pass (LP) crossover filter is not used in this application (position of dial does not matter).
