Blackwhiskey, I'm not sure if the follow-up responses were helpful to you or not. To understand the basic mistake that Polaris made, you should be able to pan the volume between the two front stereo speakers and the two rear stereo speakers. In other words, you could have all the stereo sound coming out of the front two speakers and nothing coming out of the rear two speakers, or vice-versa. That way, if the music is too loud for the rear passengers, you just pan it towards the front, achieving a nice balance. Polaris didn't provide the correct amp and wiring to actually fade between the front and rear stereo speakers. Instead, the fader pans between all four stereo speakers getting music (panned to the front) vs. all music signal going to the subwoofer under the dash (panned to the rear). This wiring and amp configuration is ludicrous and is completely useless. That is why when you fade to the rear, the sound gets very quiet. You essentially turn off all four stereo speakers and only send very low bass signals to the subwoofer. Likewise, if you fade to the front, you power all four stereo speakers and essentially turn off the subwoofer. Your only option to enjoy sound from all 5 speakers equally is to leave the fader in the middle position. You can control the overall volume of music, but have zero control of increasing or decreasing the volume selectively for rear passengers.
Polaris should correct this. They have not provided a functional vehicle stereo system that has been basic practice in cars for multiple decades. I first discovered this with my 2020 General XP 4 1000 Deluxe. It's unbelievable that they haven't even changed this in the 2021 models. Polaris engineers obviously don't read these forums. People have reported this mistake to their dealers. Either the dealers don't pass it on or Polaris just doesn't even listen to dealer complaints.
