Rockford Fosgate RNGR18-STG3 6.5"/10" Ranger Audio Kit

The Rockford Fosgate RNGR18-STG3 is a vehicle-specific Stage 3 audio kit for select 2018-2022 Polaris Ranger XP 1000 full-size and Crew models. It combines a dash-integrated digital media receiver, front 6.5-inch speakers, a 10-inch subwoofer, amplifier, RGB lighting control, and model-specific installation hardware. The package is intended for Ranger owners who want a more complete audio system without piecing together separate components.

The system uses the PMX-2 compact AM/FM/weather-band digital media receiver as its source unit. Bluetooth audio streaming, USB, AUX input, Pandora control, and a 2.7-inch color TFT display provide several ways to access music on the trail. The included RNGR18-DK dash kit places the receiver in a molded Ranger-specific mounting location.

A pair of M1-65B 6.5-inch two-way Color Optix speakers handles full-range front audio in RNGR18-FSE lower speaker-pod enclosures. Their integrated RGB illumination is controlled by the included PMX-RGB Color Optix controller and compatible RF Connect app. The speaker design uses a grille-integrated 1-inch balanced-dome tweeter, polypropylene cone construction, and an integrated crossover.

For low-frequency output, the kit includes an M1D2-10B 10-inch dual-voice-coil Color Optix subwoofer installed in the Ranger-specific RNGR18-FWE under-seat enclosure. The subwoofer uses a selectable 1-ohm or 4-ohm impedance configuration and is rated for 300 watts RMS. Its illuminated basket and grille coordinate with the system's Color Optix lighting ecosystem.

Amplification is provided by the M5-800X4 four-channel Element Ready amplifier and RNGR18-K8 installation kit. The amplifier provides configurable high-pass, low-pass, or all-pass filtering and includes a preset feature intended for compatible Rockford Fosgate UTV systems. This makes the package a foundation for a direct-fit Ranger audio upgrade with integrated source, speakers, bass, amplification, and lighting control.

Design & Installation

Rockford Fosgate designed the RNGR18-STG3 around Ranger-specific dash, speaker, subwoofer, and amplifier mounting components. The M1 speakers and subwoofer use UV-stable materials, sealed RGB lighting elements, and corrosion-resistant connection hardware, while the M5-800X4 amplifier carries an IPX6 water-intrusion rating. Black speaker grilles and molded enclosures are intended to integrate with the vehicle interior and under-seat area.

Confirm the exact Polaris Ranger trim, seating configuration, and model year before ordering, since this kit is intended for select 2018-2022 Ranger XP 1000 full-size three-seat and Crew six-seat applications. The supplied dash kit, front speaker enclosures, subwoofer enclosure, amplifier installation kit, and mounting hardware are designed to reduce fabrication versus a universal installation. Install the receiver, amplifier wiring, lighting controller, and speaker connections according to Rockford Fosgate instructions, and set the amplifier filter mode for the installed speakers and subwoofer configuration.
