The 5 Best UTV Sound Systems in 2024
How to become the life of the off-road party
Top down, music blasting and having a good time! Sounds like summer fun and a few Van Halen videos, right? We all like the freedom that a UTV brings us and being able to play some music is just what the doctor ordered sometimes – enter UTV sound systems.
Most UTVs don’t come equipped with a sound system, but some have the option. Most UTV audio systems as we once knew them are a thing of the past, replaced today by Bluetooth sound systems. This is a great thing, as you can now sync your phone and have playlists at your command while blasting down the trails. Just remember to keep it respectful. Not everyone shares your tastes in music, or wants to hear David Lee Roth tell you that you “might as well Jump,” that hill over there.
Of course, there is no shortage of options when looking to add some music to your machine, so we’ve put together a list of some of the best UTV sound systems available today.

1. Editor's Choice: SSV Works 4-Speaker Overhead Stereo
This system from SSV Works is pretty sweet. It makes several model-specific speaker systems, but this one is more universal. It is sealed and completely weatherproof, making it great for those times when Mother Nature decides things are going to get a little damp. It is fully Bluetooth controlled with a 30-foot range. It has a 4X 50-Watt built-in amplifier and also has an AM/FM radio receiver. It connects with two simple wires and installation usually takes no more than 15 minutes, which makes it one of the best UTV sound systems you can find. It is also constructed using fiberglass for durability and weighs in at 26 pounds.
2. Best Value: BOSS Audio Systems BRT26RGB ATV UTV Sound Bar
The BOSS Audio system is designed for riders who want a sound system that’s as rugged as it is powerful. Featuring built-in Bluetooth, this system automatically reconnects to your device, letting you stream your favorite music from apps like Spotify or Pandora without skipping a beat. It’s weatherproof, boasting an IPX5 rating to keep the tunes flowing even in less-than-ideal conditions. With four 4” speakers, two 1” soft dome tweeters, and an A/B amplifier, it delivers impressive sound quality. Add in customizable RGB lighting and you’ve got a setup that not only sounds good but looks great, especially at night. For those who crave more, the pre-amp outputs allow you to connect additional systems.
3. Complete Setup: Rockford Fosgate RZR14-STG6 Audio Kit
Go big or go home. Is that the ol' adage? If you're going to equip your side-by-side with some epic beats, then why not give it a complete sound system... PMX-3 Receiver, 1500-Watt Amp, M2 Series Color Optix Multicolor LED Lighted Front Speaker, Subwoofer & Rear Horns. If you don't want to just play a song – you want to be engulfed by it – then it might be time to consider the full package. Maybe this particular style or brand is not your ideal match? Don't let that deter you from setting up your UTV with dope beats so you can take the party (literally) anywhere.
4. Most Approachable: NOAM NUTV4 Quad
The NOAM NUTV4 Quad packs a lot of punch for its price point. This system comes with four poly injection 4-inch marine cone speakers powered by a marine 4-channel amplifier, which can all be controlled with a Bluetooth remote control. It's not the most powerful system in the world at 100 watts, but it will let you get your music pumping while you are out on the trail. And this system is designed to fit pretty much any UTV out there, as the speakers can mount to any round bar with a diameter from 1.5 to 2.0 inches.
5. Simple Set Up: JBL RallyBar S, 21" Outdoor Vehicle Soundbar
The reputation precedes it. JBL has long been respected as an authority on audio, and as they drift further into the off-road space, they've made things pretty simple as well. This JBL RallyBar S, 21" Outdoor Vehicle Soundbar with Built-in 150w RMS Amplifier will be able to bring the boom and not waste your time with set up. Just because you want to jam out to your epic go-fast playlist doesn't mean you spend the whole day wrenching (when you could be riding...)
How hard is it to install a UTV sound system?
Installation difficulty will vary quite a bit depending on if you are getting a fully integrated UTV sound system or a kit that will work for just about any UTV out there. A system with multiple external speakers will also require a good bit of wiring (and securing those wires so they don't get in the way). Some basic knowledge of your UTV's electrical system will help, but just about anybody can get one of these systems up and running so long as you have some basic tools and can follow instructions. In other words, you shouldn't have to go to your dealer to get this taken care of.

Derrek's love for all things ATV started when he was a mere 11 years old, growing up on his family farm. His mom gave him and his sister a choice - get a horse, or a three-wheeler. The sister wanted the horse, and Derrek wanted the ATV. Luckily he won out, and was soon burning up the trails on a Yamaha Tri-Moto 200. By the time he was 14, he had saved enough of his own money by working on the farm and in his folks restaurant to buy a new 4-wheeler. That happened the day he and his mom were driving past the dealership and saw 1987 Banshee. His mom had no idea what he was buying, and he never looked back. He's been riding ever since, and been writing professionally for many years. He has ridden all over North America and been behind the controls of just about every machine out there. And yes, he still has his 1987 Yamaha Banshee.
