RT Rear Speakers

[effgjamis]

Ok... I have an RT with the convience package.. No rear speakers, but do have audio up front.

Question:
Is the speaker enclosures wired for the speakers?
I almost bought a read speaker kit, for 149 bucks, but when I opened the package there were 2 speakers, a package of Bolts and a Control for the passenger..... But NO HARNESS, but the CAN AM Accessory book, most recent one, states that the harneess is included... but NO NO NOl and the box had a factory seal, or at least I thought so.

Who knows that the harness is not to be purchased but is already installed?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes the wiring is there. I found out by buying the can am rear speaker kit and the "included wire harness" is the peice that allows the passenger to change the radio.

I put my polk audio rear speakers in before plugging in the control and they work fine...just have to adjust the fader to the center...:thumbup:

Forrest, don't waste your money on the stock speakers; johnny and I both have had a rear speaker blow, and neither of us crank it up loud or use a lot of bass; I set mine to midrange on everything and the left side sounded like a bad boombox car at a traffic light!!
Go to Best Buy and they usually stock Polk Audio DXI400 speakers for the rear. I think I paid about $70 and they sound much better. I believe these are same ones Dave1 put in his.

I agree. I put the polk audios in mine, both front (DXI525) and the rear (DXI400) and they sound awesome...

If you are not in a hurry, get them from cowboom.com. It is a best buy outlet and you can get these for $25 plus shipping. The ones I got look to be floor models...

not working

I just purchased a 2012 RT but the rear speakers are not working. Does anyone have a link to a diagram or instruction so that i can pull this apart to check for loose wires?

 

[Bob Denman]

Which sub-model RT do you have?
The base model
The Audio & convenience model
The RT-S
The RT-Limited

The Base model had no sound system
The A&C got the sound system, but with only front speakers (Rear speakers could be added)
Only the RT-S and Limited models got all four speakers as standard equipment.
