IMPORTANT: Make sure the installation of any components or wires does not impede
the steering or operation of the machine! Failure to do so can cause an accident
resulting in serious injury or death!
Step#4: On the main wire harness, you will see a 12 pin connector on one end which gets
plugged into the main control box. You will see 2 connectors that mate to the plugs on
the speakers. Plug one into each speaker. Note: In most cases, the supplied wires are
long enough. If you need to extend the speaker wires, with power to the unit OFF, cut
the main harness side-not the speaker side. When re-attaching the wires please pay
close attention to the wire colors or poor sound and potential damage may occur.
Never use “butt connectors” or “crimps”. Solder and heat shrink tube is required.
Step#5: The orange wire is a “turn on lead” that tells the control box to turn on or off
with the “power on/off” of the machine. Using your machine’s owners manual, locate a
switched power source such as an ignition switch, headlight switch or a switched power
location in the fuse panel and attach the orange wire to this. The orange wire must see
switched positive 12 Volt DC for the system to operate. If the machine does not have a
switched power source, the orange wire can be interrupted by a 5 amp inline toggle
switch (not supplied), controlling a “constant” 12 Volt DC power source. Please ensure
good connections to avoid unnecessary non-warranty claims.
Step#6: Route the positive (red) and negative (black) wires towards the machines
battery. Working from the control box towards the battery, cable tie these 2 wires to
the machine. Attach the red wire to the positive connector on your battery. Attach the
black wire to the ground connector on your battery. Please ensure good connections to
avoid unnecessary non-warranty claims.
Your system is now ready to test. To get started, turn any bass boosts, loudness
contours or volume limiters on your audio device OFF! Put the volume of your audio
device to one “click” below maximum. Note: The overall volume and performance of
this system heavily relies on the quality of the music files the and the quality of the
audio device used to provide the music.
Pairing your Bluetooth® wireless technology device to the control box: When the
MA-4BT sees power, it will try and pair with a device for up to 2 minutes as shown by
the flashing Bluetooth® logo. Go into your audio devices settings menu, and accept the
pairing to the Metrix Audio MA4BT system. When paired, the Bluetooth® logo will stay
on solid blue. If nothing is paired, after 2 minutes, the Bluetooth® logo will go out. The
unit must be turned off, and then back on to resume pairing mode. Please Note:
Depending on your music device, when it first pairs to MA4-BT and starts to play, the
system may sound like a CD is skipping for a few seconds. THIS IS NORMAL and is your
audio device getting its wireless communication “in sync” with the MA4-BT.
With everything working, taking a few seconds to make sure the speakers are pointing
directly at the rider. This can radically improve the sound and clarity!
Starting at the speakers and then the control box, secure all wires to the machine. Work
your way back to the battery location making sure any slack is taken up without imped-
ing any steering or other controls. Avoid having any cables too close to extreme heat
areas. In most cases, the supplied power (red) and ground (black) wires are plenty long.
If you have extra wire, we suggest bundling any extra and securing with a zip tie.
