Installed Poly Planar MP3 Kit with Black Speakers

All connections are good and volume on ipod is fully up.

here is the pictures........see if you guys see any problems. Im so upset with this dang thing that I want to throw it away.

I found mine one day not loud enough (barely could hear it too)
took it down, found that the RCA jacks were not tight enough.

If you can hear it, I would think that it's still ok & just something loose

well we have pulled everything apart and the RC cables were the first thing we checked. Still no go.

I really need help on this one wacker. I am lost

I'm by far no electrical guy or stereo guru... most of the time when my stuff is broke the best I can do is just say "WTH?" I don't know much else about them other then "Go or No GO". It's a really nice looking build and install so don't trash it yet.

There is pos and neg on speakers...

Can I have it !!!!!!!!!

Sorry I don't know what to tell you TBONE except unhook the master volume control to see if it has a short in it.Just recently you could barley hear mine and the voulme control was bad and once I unhooked it completely and just used my I-pod to control the volume the problem was solved

EUREKA!!!!!!! after working on this thing all night and a total rewire, it is working 100 percent. I have no idea what the heck happened! I hope it stays working!

Thanks for the help guys! Now onto the shocks.

I guess you wasn't holding your mouth right the first time

Glad it all worked out before ending up in the trash.

Enjoy...

Thanks Wacker. I got so frustrated with it. I worked on that thing for a whole day trying to get it just right. I wanted it right. It worked then after I hung it it didnt work.

Very aggravating. After I spent a half day I did a total rewire and got it.

I have no idea where the problem was but its gone for now. "knock on wood"

All that time also I spent running the wire through the roof tube. Boy that was a pain in the keester but I finally got it. It all worked out in the end. Here is the pic of it hung up and working.

Thanks again to everyone for your help! I just get a little frustrated sometimes.

Cool... running the power wires through the roll bars always makes everyone say, "How'd you do that...?"

Here's my next project to replace the plastic toolbox with aluminum sheet with pre-cut holes and mounting flanges that are ready for install...

oooh if you do that i will take one for my next build. I still like the plastic toolbox bottom though

I just found a similar kit but only for 2 speakers which is all I need and it's the cheapest price I have seen.My amp no longer works on the left channel so I got everything you see without the speakers for $40.00 I could have just bought another amp but my volume control went bad and my cable input for my I-pod was getting bad and would cut off & on so I can use the other stuff too.But if you want the whole set up this is cheap

Bobby, did you find anywhere to get just the volume control?

I found the same thing listed with out the speakers for $40.00 I already have 2 speakers in my RZR and two new ones in storage so I did not need anymore speakers.I just posted the link with the speakers in case someone was looking for a complete system.

FYI for anyone who needs it. I called Poly Planar and they have replacement volume controls for $14.95 including shipping.

Sorry I was going to suggest one of the sellers of the kit but I forgot

SWEET DEAL BOBBY -- THANKS FOR SHARING

I am going to do this, maybe before next weekend. Can someone show me or tell me were you keep your ipod/mp3 player when it is connected?

I have an i-phone so it would be great for me to just hook it up, but I would like to keep it mount up high to keep it dry when riding.

I keep mine in a cell phone case hooked to the roll cage gusset just above my head.
