What's Included:

• (2) Rockville RZL6 Kick Panel Speakers
• Mounting hardware

Tools Required:

• Drill with ¼-inch drill bit
• Screwdriver or electric drill
• Amplifier or head unit

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions:

Step 1: Removing the Speaker from the Pod

1. Carefully remove the screws securing the speaker to the pod.
2. Gently lift the speaker out:
   • Use slight force if necessary but be cautious as speaker wires are connected internally.

Step 2: Drilling Mounting Holes (Optional for Extra Security)

• Each speaker pod includes:
  • Two holes on the back
  • One hole on the side
• For additional security, you can drill extra holes:

1. Use a ¼-inch drill bit to create new holes through the pod as needed.
2. Use additional screws, washers, and nuts (not included) to secure the pod tightly to your UTV.

Step 3: Cleaning the Pods

• Use compressed air or an air blower to remove any debris or dust from inside the pods, ensuring optimal sound performance.

Step 4: Mounting the Pod to Your UTV

1. Position the pods on your UTV:
   • Follow the shape of each pod to determine driver or passenger side placement (match grooves to frame).
2. Insert screws (provided with hardware kit) through the mounting holes:
   • Place washers on each screw before insertion.
   • Secure tightly using nuts and washers from behind.

Step 5: Reinstalling Speakers into Pods

1. Align the speaker's screw holes with the pod’s holes.
2. Replace the original screws, securing the speaker firmly back into the pod.

Connecting the Speakers to Your Amplifier

Step 1: Extending Speaker Wires (Optional)

• If the attached wires are too short to reach your amplifier or head unit:
  1. Use additional speaker wire to extend the connection.
  2. Connect speaker wires securely (positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative).
  3. Wrap each connection securely with insulation or electrical tape.

Step 2: Connecting to Your Amplifier or Head Unit

• Attach extended speaker wires to the front speaker outputs on your amplifier or head unit:
  • Ensure correct polarity: positive (+) wire to positive terminal and negative (-) wire to negative terminal.
  • Secure wires tightly in place.

Step 3: Adjusting Amplifier Settings

• Adjust amplifier volume levels to your preference.
• Set EQ (bass/treble) settings to customize audio quality.

Testing Your Setup

• Power your amplifier or head unit.
• Play music and verify the speakers produce clear, powerful sound.
• Adjust amplifier settings as needed for optimal sound quality.

Troubleshooting & FAQs:

Q: Why is there no sound from my speakers?

• Confirm correct wire polarity and secure connections on both speakers and amplifier.
• Verify amplifier or head unit volume and settings.

Q: How do I secure the speaker pods more firmly?

• Drill additional mounting holes and use extra screws, nuts, and washers for increased stability.

Q: Can I connect these speakers to the rear channels?

• Ideally, connect to front channels, but you can use rear channels if needed—just adjust audio settings accordingly.
