6 Best UTV Speakers
Since 2020 is behind us and many people, as well as the authorities, are starting to become optimistic regarding the pandemic, we thought we’d give you one more reason to go in the great outdoors.
Next time you’re riding your UTV, you might want to bring some music with you to accompany your day on the ranch or off-road far from society. Whatever your preference may be, having a reliable sound system aboard your UTV can make the journey much more enjoyable.
Types of UTV Speakers
Before going ahead with our reviews and recommendations, let’s take a quick glance at the main types of UTV speakers you will find and what each of these types can offer you.
Be aware that you might need to test different speakers for your UTV to see which ones sound the best with the aerodynamics of your particular vehicle.
You can check out more about how sound propagates through the air to see a scientific explanation of how everything works. In short, there are two main types of UTV speakers, with several subtypes depending on the specifications and performance. The main types are regular speakers and soundbars.
Regular speakers look just like your typical PC speakers except they have a mounting mechanism that allows you to place them somewhere on one of your UTV’s bars. Soundbars on the other hand are several speakers chained up together into a single bar shape format. Today, we’ll be taking a look at several different models of both these types.
1. Boss Audio 36" Riot Sound Bar With Rgb 8 Speakers Fits 1.5-2.0" Bars

This soundbar is rated IPX5, meaning that it can easily resist a low-pressure water jet spray. As such, you can rest assured that you won’t have to rush back home if a mild storm comes in your way.
But how about the overall sound quality? Well, it’s got 500 watts of power and a 3.5mm aux jack input that’s compatible with the classic audio output from smartphones and music players, as well as Bluetooth connectivity for a fully wireless experience.
Furthermore, the Bluetooth connectivity also allows you to use the integrated controls or the remote to change songs, shift volume, and control even more things on your smartphone or another device with which you’ve paired the speaker.
Finally, the RGB lights make this soundbar really attractive and can even act as a signal in case you need roadside assistance.
