October 26th, 2016 - MTX Audio has announced a NEW amplified subwoofer enclosure for Can-Am Maverick and Commander models. The release adds yet another option to its already deep product line of UTV and side by side audio products.

Building from its innovation in ThunderForm vehicle specific subwoofer enclosures, MTX Audio applied the same expertise to these UTV specific subwoofer enclosures. The rotationally molded polyethylene enclosures are weather resistant and durable and include 10-inch weather resistant 250-watt RMS subwoofers and 250-watt Class D onboard amplifiers.

"The CANAM-10 is another example of our commitment to the powersports category," said National Sales Manager, Jason Fickas. "Our engineers have done a great job designing and developing these subwoofer enclosures which deliver the bass that every rider says is missing from their systems. Keeping the enclosures out of harms way, while not giving up any usable space, is really important to our customers and having the amplifier built in makes it easier to install and enjoy."

The CANAM-10 amplified subwoofer enclosure installs in about 30 minutes including the remote bass control. No cutting or drilling is required, the enclosure is hidden under and protected by the dash.

PHOENIX, AZ, May 25, 2016 -- MTX Audio's NEW S65 Series square subwoofers that were first announced at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, are in stock and ready to ship.

The S65 Series features a square design utilizing MTX Audio's patented surround geometry (US Patent #7,275,620) that allows for increased Xmax and lower distortion resulting in higher SPL and better sound quality. Additional functional technologies include MTX's Spider Plateau Venting, which mechanically targets cool air at the voice coil, and a t-yoke with integrated heat sink to further assist in removing hot air from the voice coil ensuring reliability and minimized distortion. The S65 is uses a similar motor structure to the popular 55 Series but with a larger magnet, allowing each S65 model to handle up to 500-watts RMS power. The S65 Series is available in both 12-inch and 10-inch sizes in dual 4Ω configurations.

"This new subwoofer series does a great job filling a hole in our line, delivering an affordable square subwoofer that delivers exceptional performance and value," said National Mobile Audio Sales Manager, Dan McLeod. "Customers have been asking us to make a square subwoofer for a couple of years and retailers have also been asking us for a square sub they can be profitable selling, the S65 Series addresses both of these needs."

RZR SPECIFIC SPEAKER PODS

September 26th, 2016 - MTX Audio announced the release of new speaker pods designed specifically for Polaris RZR side-by-side vehicles. These new speaker pods are designed to work with select RZR XP1000 and 900 models. 

As the side-by-side market continues to gain popularity, providing the right solution for riders that also want great music is paramount. Having years of experience in OEM system design and creation, MTX is releasing its first aftermarket RZR solution, the RZRPOD65. The RZRPOD65 is a rotationally molded, all-weather enclosure that houses a 6.5" full range coaxial all-weather speaker.

The truly unique thing about the RZRPOD65 versus competitor models is that rather than mounting in the "kick panel" where it can get kicked and damaged as well as being hard to hear, these pods attach to the cage and are designed to fit the contours of the dashboard. This placement (closer to the riders ears) provides much better staging and sound quality. The low profile design does not interfere with driver sight lines and they can work with both factory and aftermarket cages making them the perfect choice for any RZR that needs an audio upgrade.

"MTX pioneered the vehicle specific enclosure with our THUNDERFORM line and there was no reason we couldn't use that expertise to design the most useful and best sounding UTV pods on the market", said National Sales Manager Jason Fickas. "Having done several audio systems with Polaris over the years, we have a ton of experience with these machines and our 40 years in the audio industry positions us as leaders in this emerging market."

MTX Audio announced it is now shipping its new roll cage mount speakers, model MUD65P first shown at this year's SEMA Show, and its new wake board tower mount speakers, model WET65T.

The MUD65P is designed to be used in vehicles with tube frames including Jeep®'s, UTV's, sand rails, or other vehicles utilizing roll cages or accessible bars where speakers can be mounted. These speakers and their enclosures are designed to withstand the elements including dirt, mud, rain, and snow. They are capable of handling 50-watts RMS power and feature a polypropylene woofer and dome tweeter that is both weather resistant and an ABS enclosure that is highly durable and includes a UV inhibitor that will prevent it from fading over time.

The included low profile mounts allow the speakers to be attached to bars that are 1.5", 1.75", or 2" in diameter at multiple angles providing for the best imaging for the listener. Additionally, a red LED is included in the grille of each speaker. Each pair has a MRP of $249.95.

The WET65T is designed specifically for marine applications in either salt or fresh water environments. Each speaker is capable of handling 75-watts RMS power and features a polypropylene woofer and a larger dome tweeter allowing for wider range frequency response. The speakers and enclosure are weather resistant and include a UV inhibitor that will prevent it from fading over time.

The low profile mounts allow the speakers to be attached to towers that are 2-1/4", 2-3/8", 2-1/2", or 3" and can be turned to match any angle that best delivers the perfect imaging for wherever they are mounted. Each pair is available for MRP $399.95.

"Both of these speaker models help us further expand into secondary markets that enable our dealers to further expand their business outside of traditional car audio" said National Mobile Sales Manager, Dan McLeod. "The off road and marine markets are very different and the same product doesn't necessarily work in both. As 12-volt retailers expand their business covering these markets we are happy to provide products that meet the needs of their customers."
