Wiring and Connections
● MB Quart recommends wire-to-wire connections such as power,
ground and speaker wiring are soldered and protected with either heat
shrink tubing or high quality electrical tape.
● The main (yellow) power wire should be connected to a source with at
least 10 amps of additional current capability to support the unit.

Preamp Level Audio Connections
● Front and rear RCA preamp outputs are labeled as such. These are
intended to be connected to external ampliers, not included.
● Subwoofer RCA outputs (green RCAs) are mono and paralleled.
They are identical subwoofer audio signals. Their frequency range is
controlled by the low pass crossover and the subwoofer level control.
Both are found in SETTINGS. See Page 18. We recommend starting
with 100Hz for the low pass crossover point.
● The unit offers a zone control feature to balance sound levels
between different zones. The front and/or rear RCA outputs (using
external ampliers) are one zone. The source unit's built-in power is
the other zone. An example is a boat having separate volume control of
amplied wakeboard tower speakers versus cabin speakers positioned
closer to listeners using the unit's built-in power. Zone level control is
found in SETTINGS. See page 18. Subwoofer RCA outputs or speaker-
level outputs are unaffected by the zone level control. All work with the
main volume.

3) Take note of the four
(4) holes for mounting of
the source unit’s housing
as shown. These must be
carefully drilled. Two (2)
in front and two (2) at the
back.
4) Set source unit housing
in place in center dash area
to locate four (4) mounting holes required for nal
mounting. Using a perma-
nent marker or awl, locate
and mark dimples for verication of where you'll drill.
Remove housing and set
aside when completed.

Can-Am X3 Source Unit Mounting Instructions
5) Using battery-powered
cordless drill with a 9/64”
drill bit, drill two (2) mount-
ing holes in the dimpled
areas as indicated. As the
material is plastic, there is
very little pressure needed..

6) Drill the remaining two (2)
mounting holes at the back
of the housing as indicated.
Again, as the material is
plastic very little pressure is
needed.

7) Connect the electrical
plug and, if used, RCA
audio and USB cables. Test
source unit functionality and
sound before nal mounting
and installation. See Troubleshooting section on page
22 if needed.

8) Place the source unit in
the na installation location
with wiring neatly secured
and zip tied in place. Attach
the four included screws
through the housing’s
mounting holes drilled out
earlier. Two T-25 32mm

Bluetooth Pairing & Operation
If a PIN Code is Required:
● Some Bluetooth devices require inputting a pass code for
connection. Please input code “0000” and the connection will be made
automatically.
Automatically Connecting:

the Bluetooth mobile device automatically within a valid range.
Manually Disconnecting:
● To disconnect temporarily, for example to take a phone call,
press and hold the 1/ button for 3 seconds and the mobile device
will disconnect. If no phone call is in progress, it will automatically
reconnect to the unit in about 15 seconds.
● To disconnect and allow another user to connect, use the mobile
device to forget the "MB QUART" connection entirely.
Once a Bluetooth device is paired and recognized:
● Be sure the multimedia controller has the Bluetooth source selected.
The multimedia controller should automatically begin playing where
the mobile device last left off of the music player's song or playlist.
● If the unit does not automatically begin playing, press the center ►▌▐
button to play the Bluetooth source. The play (►) symbol will display
when music is playing.The time elapsed in the song play is also
displayed on the screen.

forward or rewind within a song. Press the same button again to stop
the fast forward or rewind function.
● Press the ▌◄◄ or ►►▌ buttons less than 1 second to automatically
fast forward or rewind the next / previous song.
Note: Functions such as "Repeat" and "Random Play" (a.k.a "Shufe") must be controlled
at the mobile device directly.
See the USB Input section for smartphones connected via USB and
the capability for Repeat and Random (Shufe) functionality.

USB Input
The multimedia controller supports MP3, WMA, and WAV audio les
with a USB thumb drive connected. Additionally, M4A or Apple Lossless
le types are supported if the user connects an iPhone® using iTunes
as the music player.
Most smartphones with a USB-based charging connector and
USB thumb drives easily connect to the multimedia controller.
Many smartphones include album art through the phone's music
player. Some USB thumb drive les may not include album art,
only song information.
To begin, connect a USB device and the unit reads the music les
automatically.
● A "USB Loading" screen appears as the device's song info and album
art (if present) transfer to the unit. Smartphones take a few seconds
longer than a USB thumb drive.
● If the unit does not automatically begin playing, press the center ►▌▐
button to play the USB source. Press ►▌▐ again to mute and pause the
song. Press ►▌▐ again to resume playback or simply rotate the volume
control knob.
● Press the ▌◄◄ or ►►▌ buttons more than 1 second to manually fast
forward or rewind within a song. Press the same button again to stop
the fast forward or rewind function.

● Adjust the low pass crossover for the SUB preamp (green) RCA
outputs. The choices are 80Hz, 100Hz and 120Hz.
SUB Level
● Adjust the relative volume level for the SUB preamp (green) RCA
outputs in a range of 0 (fully attenuated) to 40 (fully open).
ZONE Level
● Adjust the relative volume level for the front/rear preamp RCA outputs
in a range of 0 (fully attenuated) to 40 (fully open). The unit's built-in
power and SUB levels are unaffected by this adjustment. Only the front/
rear preamp outputs are controlled by the zone volume. See page 20-
21 for example system diagrams utilizing zone control.
18
BASS Level
● Adjust the bass from -7 to +7. Default setting is “0.” Center frequency
is 100Hz.
TREBLE Level
● Adjust the treble range from -7 to +7. Default setting is “0.” Center
frequency is 10KHz.
BALANCE Control

on the screen and the Selector/Volume knob to move the dot. Equal
balance (center dot) is the default setting.
● Use the SOURCE button to close the balance screen when
complete and return to the main menu.
FADER Control
● Adjust the fader between the front and rear speakers using the grid
on the screen and the Selector/Volume knob to move the dot. Equal
fader position between front/rear (center dot) is the default setting.
● Use the SOURCE button to close the fader screen when complete
and return to the main menu.
Although the balance and fader adjustments are two separate screens, for
purposes of easy understanding they are
shown here in the same screen. Left and
right of the grid represent the balance.
Top (front) and bottom (rear) of the grid
represent the fader.
Factory Reset

when entering this menu if you don't want to manually reset all
your preferences such as radio presets, EQ, sub level/crossover,
backlighting, etc.
Video Output Feature
● The multimedia controller features a composite video output that
mirrors the same information on the unit's screen. This is a useful
feature to provide a secondary screen for passengers or in other
zones within a larger space, such as a boat or RV.
● Simply connect the unit's
