Audio Systems

[Valhalla]

Evening everyone, I am wanting to solicit some information from everyone about audio systems for UTVs. There is so much out there, I would like to hear from people who already have speakers installed. The system will be for a General XP4 1000, 4 seater. Thanks.

I'm using an outdoor bluetooth speaker mounted overhead on the cross member. The internal battery lasts about 2 hours at high volume, but I can also power it from the UTV if I want to run a wire.  I was planning to wire it into the electrical, but haven't really needed to yet.  Everything I listen to is on my phone... music, podcasts, etc; and I already happened to have the speaker.  It was a quick and easy way to get a sound system going, and it has worked well for about 5 years now.

I looked at installing a fixed system. I didn't like the cost, vs. performance. Not to mention the hassle of installation. Instead I went with a W-King X10 powered bluetooth speaker. Along with a soft mount, that makes it easily removable.

    It's about a hundred bucks for the speaker and the mount. Speaker performance is similar to the over $300.00 JBL speaker.

Total install time was about six minutes.
