Here at Sound Depot and Performance in Gainesville, we can help you take your tunes just about anywhere. Among the fastest-growing parts of the mobile electronics industry are Powersports stereo products for your ATV, UTV or side-by-side. These vehicles offer some special challenges – and we are up for the task!
Radios
Most of these extreme vehicles do not have good mounting options for a traditional radio or CD player, not to mention that the vibration, shock and exposure to the elements of being in an ATV, UTV or side-by-side would be too much for that type of a source unit. By far the most popular source unit is the phone or media player that you already own. A number of excellent waterproof options for Bluetooth receivers can mount to just about any dash or handlebar. Just link up and crank it up!
Amplifiers
The next challenge is an amplifier designed for this harsh environment. The most important thing is that the amplifier has to be built to handle the shock and vibration of being off-road, and the potential for any weather condition that may come up. They also have to be small and super-efficient to make the most of the smaller charging systems typical of most of these types of vehicles. We carry the JL Audio line of HX amps and the MTX line of MUD amps that have the water resistance, efficiency, small footprint and ability to handle the rough roads.
Speakers
Speakers present another challenge. They have to have their own enclosure, and they have to be able to stand up to any kind of weather. One of the most popular options is the sound bar. This has an appearance similar to the light bars that many of these vehicles have, but with speakers built in. Many of them also have Bluetooth and built-in power for a simple installation. If you want more power and volume as you race down those dirt trails, there are also many good options for tower speakers, overhead consoles or even custom-built woofer enclosures.
Installation
The last challenge we face is providing a professional installation that will hold up on the trail, and do so in any kind of weather. Wires typically have to be run along roll bars and properly secured. Everything has to be mounted and secured for those big jumps and rough spots in the road. Our experts are up to the task.
