Compatibility: The MTX X3-17-THUNDER3 sound system is designed to work with the following 2017-up Can-Am X3 vehicles:

Headunit & Dash Kit

All Weather Design (IP66 Rated): The MTX AWMC3 digital media receiver is designed to withstand anything you may encounter in nature along your ride - including wind, sand, rain, snow, sleet, and any other kind of bad weather you might find yourself riding in. The AWMC3 digital media receiver can be used in any environment and its large rubber buttons make it easy to operate under even the most adverse conditions.

3" Display w/ Large Buttons: The AWMC3 digital media receiver features a 3" full color TFT display with auto or manual dimming for better visibility. It also offers large backlit soft-touch buttons that are easy to use even while wearing gloves.

20W x 4Ch Amplifier: The digital media receiver features a built-in 20W (RMS)/50W (Peak) x 4Ch amplifier for connection of up to four speakers.

2V/4Ch Pre-Outs: The digital media receiver is outfitted with two sets of 2-volt pre-outs (front & rear) for adding external amplifiers for even bigger sound.

Customizable EQ: You can customize the receiver's sound through selectable EQ Presets (Classic, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Optimal, Custom). The Custom mode allows you to manually adjust the 8-band EQ (62, 125, 250, 500, 1k, 4k, 10k, 16k Hz). There is also balanced and fade control.

Bluetooth Audio Streaming: Thanks to built-in Bluetooth, you can stream stored music and music apps on your Bluetooth source device to the digital media receiver. You'll also get basic playback controls (like Play/Pause & Previous Next Track), along with song/artist info and album art display. If you have an Apple 5S and up device, you can even browse your Bluetooth music by song/artist/playlist from the receiver. Only one Bluetooth source device can be paired and connected at a time.

USB MSC Playback: The unit's rear-panel USB (type-A) port allows playback of MP3 music files from a USB MSC (mass storage class) device, like a USB thumbdrive or portable digital audio player. You'll get basic playback control (Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track) and the display of song/artist info with album art on the receiver. The unit will also charge your connected portable digital audio player.

iPod/iPhone Compatible: The receiver's USB port can also be used to connect your Apple iPod or iPhone with Lightning connector (not compatible with 30-pin devices). Simply use the cable that came with your Apple Lightning device or a 3rd party Apple certified Lightning-to-USB cable (sold separately). The unit supports audio playback of stored music and music apps, music navigation (song/artist/album/playlist), song/artist info with album art, and charging of your compatible Apple Lightning device.

AM/FM/WB Tuner: The receiver features a built-in AM/FM tuner with manual, seek, and preset (12AM/18FM) tuning. You can choose between US or European tuning. A Local option tunes to only nearby radio stations with sufficiently strong signals for good reception. The unit is also equipped with a built-in weather band tuner. Select from weather band frequencies between 162.4 to 162.55.

SiriusXM Ready: The digital media receiver is SiriusXM-Ready and compatible with the SiriusXM Connect Vehicle Tuner (220SXV300 sold separately), so you can listen to over 140 SiriusXM channels. SiriusXM subscription required. The unit offers manual, seek, preset (up to 18), direct, and category tuning. It also provides parental control to block unsuitable content.

Aux Input: The MTX digital media receiver is fitted with a rear-panel stereo RCA AUX input to connect an external audio source.

Headunit Dash Kit: The included MTX X3-17-DK custom dash kit is designed to mount the MTX AWMC3 all-weather media headunit into select Can-Am X3 side-by-side vehicles. The kit provides a low-profile installation and mounts using the factory mounting locations, with no drilling or cutting required. Access to the factory fuse panel will still be retained and the kit won't interfere with any factory or aftermarket intrusion bars. The mounting kit is factory color and texture matched for a seamless look and feel.

Speakers & RGB Controller

Kick Panel Speakers : The MTX X3-17-FS-L speaker pods are designed to mount into the lower kick-panels of select 2017-up Can-Am X3 vehicles and feature pre-installed MTX 6-1/2" 2-way drivers. Each heavy-duty speaker pod is sealed for protection from the elements.

2-Way Speakers: The included 6-1/2" drivers feature polypropylene woofer cones along with a coaxially-mounted 1" Mylar dome tweeter.

RGB LED Lighting: Each speaker includes built-in RGB LED lighting which can be powered and controlled using an optional MUDLEDC RGB lighting controller (sold separately).

Enclosures: The X3-17-FS-L kick-panel enclosures feature a roto-molded sealed design with factory matched texturing. Each kick-panel speaker pod features MTX's Fully Adjustable, Single Tool (F.A.S.T.) mounting system that uses powder-coated, machined billet aluminum clamps for maximum fitment flexibility. This lets you adjust the placement relative to the vehicle's body panels, eliminating gap issues and ensuring the best possible fit. Pre-installed wiring harnesses with each speaker pod are terminated in watertight connectors for a direct connection to compatible MTX powersports components.

X3-17-FS-L Specifications:

• RMS Power: 50W
• Peak Power: 100W
• Frequency Response: 70Hz-20kHz
• Impedance: 4Ω
• Sensitivity: 85.6dB (1W/1M)

RGB LED Controller: The MTX X3-17-THUNDER3 sound system includes a MUDLEDC RGB lighting controller, letting you activate and control the RGB LED lighting in the X3-17-FS-L kick panel enclosures. Up to 12 LED speakers can be connected in parallel to the MUDLEDC.

Controller Wiring: The miniature RGB LED controller can be plugged directly into the RGB connector on the included headunit T-harness, allowing it control the LED lighting in the speaker pods through the factory wiring. The other end of the controller features bare-ended wire for connecting to a +12VDC power and ground source in the vehicle. An optional toggle switch (sold separately) is recommended in order to easily remove power from the MUDLEDC when the vehicle will not be in use for long periods of time.

LED Controls: The MUDLEDC includes a hand-held wireless RF remote for controlling the LED lighting. Functions include:

• Power/Standby
• Speed +/-: LEDs can be set to flash with variable flash speed. 10 speed levels are available.
• Static Color +/-: Cycles through each of the 20 available Static Colors.
• Mode +/-: Cycles through each of the 19 Dynamic Modes.
• Brightness +/-: Increases or decreases LED Brightness.
• Demo Mode: Loops through 9 dynamic modes, with each cycling 3 times.

LED Controller Specifications:

• Input Voltage: +12VDC
• Output Current: 3-Way, 4A per channel
• Remote Frequency: 433.92MHz
• Remote Operating Distance: Approx. 98' (open area)

Subwoofer & Level Control

Subwoofer Enclosure: The MTX X3-17-THUNDER3 includes a custom-fit subwoofer enclosure that's designed to mount underneath the front driver seat of select 2017-up Can-Am X3 vehicles. The loaded 12" subwoofer enclosure features a roto-molded sealed design with factory matched texturing. MTX's One Tool Installation System (O.T.I.S) makes installation easy by using factory mounting points with no cutting or drilling. The waterproof subwoofer enclosure won't interfere with the seat position or height, with either factory or aftermarket seats. Included loomed wiring harnesses allow the X3-17-SW-D to plug directly into compatible MTX powersports components.

Power: The MTX X3-17-SW-D high-output 12" subwoofer can handle up to 300W RMS (600W peak power) each.

EBC-01 Remote Level Control: An EBC-01 wired remote level-control is provided for quickly adjusting the output level of the included subwoofer. The EBC-01 includes hardware for mounting it under a dash or console within easy reach of the driver's seat. An attached 20' cable plugs directly into the MUD600-1 mono amplifier.
