How do they sound. Do they bump. I heard a factory installed RF stage 4 in a 2020 general and I was very disappointed. I couldn’t even tell he had a sub. It sounded like every other sound bar with no bass. I really, really wanted a stage 4 and almost bought it. Thank god I heard my buddies first. I would have been pissed if I wasted all that money. Btw I’m not knocking Rockford. I always run Rockford subs in all my cars. Just my option on this set.

[@rockfordfosgate]

This is an AFTERMARKET audio system for the RZR, with STAGE-5 being our most popular kit and kicks ass.
The Factory Installed System for General is a completely different application and designed to fit within the current draw parameters of Polaris Industries.

Do you not have to tune the amp? Or do they come pre tuned to match ride command signal voltage?

[@rockfordfosgate]

Great Question Garrett! Our Ride Command interface supplied with the RZR14RC-STG5 increases the voltage out of Ride Command so it produces 2V RMS, the same output voltage as our PMX source unit. So regardless if you're installing a RC or PMX audio kit, the amplifier's PRESET switch configures the GAIN and PUNCH EQ, and CROSSOVER FREQUENCY to Rockford Fosgate's recommended tuned settings.

@@rockfordfosgate Wow that's awesome. Great kit!

[@rockfordfosgate]

@@garretttaylor5850 Great, I'm glad the explanation cleared this up!

When you plug the sub into the amp at 10:19, there is a 4pin pigtail hanging off the end that you do not show where this goes to. I am not getting power to my sub and think this may be why. Where does this pigtail plug into?

[@rockfordfosgate]

If it's the REAR amp input, it's not connected. I've put more explanation below on what the video is showing:
Timecode 9:54
1) Front Output connects to the front Speaker Pods harness
2) Rear Output connect to rear Moto-Cans harness
3) Sub Output connects to the subwoofer harness
Timecode 10:08:
1) The FRONT harness connects to the amplifier FRONT IN
2) The REAR/SUB harness connects to the amplifier SUB IN
3) The amplifier REAR is not connected to anything
Timecode 13:16
1) The PMX FRONT connects to the harness FRONT RCAs
2) The PMX REAR connects to the harness REAR RCAs

Did you ever figure out your issue? I’m dealing with the same thing.

[@joe2209ful]

​@coreycrutchfield921 yeah the pigtail is left disconnected. My issue was the Ohm switch on the sub was between two settings. I pushed the switch to the correct ohm setting and it starting working. Switch prob shifted during shipment

I'm worried about all the bling you wear while installing, I wear a rubber ring ang that gets caught all the time. Be safe brother.

[@rockfordfosgate]

Thanks brother, I appreciate this!
