Revainrating 4 out of 5

The sound is great, loud enough.

I will check and post on YouTube soon. I bought XP for my 2018 RZR 1000. The stem cutout is perfectly shaped to fit a crossbar on the RZR 1000. I mounted mine to the frame on the front stem facing me and it fits perfectly between the frame mounts on the left and right. about an inch on each side. Assembly is a headache. Nuts are inserted into the guide and act in one direction (supplied with thread lock). One end of the nut is rounded so that it can be turned and locked in place, and then the Allen screws can be tightened securely. I used a bungee to hold it in place while editing. It is extremely securely fixed in the cage. Overall I love the stereo and it sounds great, I've used it to play radio at a few cooking events and got a few extras, driving with the stereo makes a huge difference too, completely changed the experience. I sit outside and get surprised by the rain every time it rains since I bought it because my shed is not built yet. The dome light, which I didn't think was worth a damn, actually turned out to be one of the coolest features of the bar and illuminates the RZR's cockpit nicely. I dropped my phone a few times and the dome light came in very handy. The only two things I don't like about the unit are that the connectors are too big to fit into the pre-drilled holes in the cage, requiring you to route the wiring outside of the cage and secure it with zip ties. also a hard landing to force it through despite the cage penetrating the body. It will fit, but it took a while to get the cables and the end of the A/V cable there. The device is fully controlled by the Blue Tooth controller, so you need to plug it in to use the soundbar. Here I have another problem, the bluetooth controller mount doesn't look good on the frame, it sticks out a lot and looks goofy. Another option suggested in the instructions is to cut a hole in the dashboard and screw it to install. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to cut a giant hole in the dashboard of my new $16,000 toy to install a controller. My possible solution is to drill a hole in the windshield and make some kind of mount for it. The only problem with the controller being glued to the recessed part of the dash is that if the controller is glued to the back without closing the dash so it can't be installed horizontally they lead the cables out the back cut to allow for the wire. Apart from the fact that the cables do not fit in the cage and the remote control is awkward to mount, I really like this device. It sounds great, has decent bass, crisp highs and vocals, and can even play in the rain. I actually turn on the radio while cleaning the bike and it works fine. Of course, I don't pour water on the speakers and connectors because that can cause problems, but a light spray on the speakers still works great. Soon I'll be adding an amp for a couple more speakers and an optional subwoofer with A/V outputs. I was supposed to have an amazing system that wouldn't cost more than $2,000. All in all it was a great purchase and I would definitely buy again. All my friends have this color changing bazooka party bar and they hate it. They advised me not to buy a soundbar because I had no luck with them, but I bought them anyway. No problems so far and I've been very happy with my latest Boss Audio product, the ATV25B has worked great for 2 years so I've decided to use Boss Audio again and I'm glad I did.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
