Miramar, FL—April 30, 2018—JL Audio, an innovator in high-end audio solutions, has announced new Stealthbox® speaker and subwoofer systems for the popular Polaris General and Polaris RZR off-road vehicles. These vehicle-specific audio solutions are proudly built at JL Audio’s headquarters and manufacturing facility in Florida. 

Built to take command of any off-road or backcountry trail, the Polaris General and the RZR models are designed to take on any challenge. However, the factory supplied audio options are not quite up to the standards of many who want a system that can deliver outstanding quality in a challenging open-air cockpit.

To remedy the lack-luster factory sound packages, JL Audio has developed purpose-built speaker pods that will mount securely in each kick-panel, off the floor and out of the way.  The Stealthbox® speaker systems for the Polaris General and Polaris RZR feature a 100 perfect fiberglass, sealed enclosure that houses a high-performance, JL Audio MX-Series 6.5-inch marine grade coaxial speaker with blue LED illumination–that just looks cool. The end result is a full-range system that delivers powerful, crystal-clear sound that will rock your world during outdoor adventures.

No system is complete without a sonically-matched subwoofer to deliver powerful, deep, bass output, while remaining completely out-of-sight. The Stealthbox® subwoofer system for the Polaris General includes one 10-inch, JL Audio TW3 thin-line subwoofer driver, contained in a all-fiberglass, weatherproof enclosure with a texture-coated finish, that mounts securely behind the dashboard. For an added bonus, an additional mounting bracket is included to secure a JL Audio MX Amplifier. Similar subwoofer systems have been previously introduced for the Polaris RZR.

For two decades, JL Audio’s acclaimed Stealthbox® vehicle-specific enclosures have set a high standard for sound quality, as well as vehicle-specific fit and installation integrity. Using laser-scanning technology, the development team precisely measures the tight spaces available in the vehicle. Solid modeling software is then used to design speaker and subwoofer solutions with precise fit and maximum enclosure volume, for optimum performance and output.

Phoenix, Ariz., April 1,2021 – MTX Audio, of the MiTek Electronics and Communications Group, is announcing the introduction of all new audio kits and components to their lineup for select Can-Am Maverick X3 model vehicles. This new offering is building off the success of the Polaris RZR audio kits introduced last year and will be available for most 2017 and newer model vehicles.

The new components will consist of a low-profile dash mounting kit that works with our AWMC3 media receiver, fully assembled front upper and separate lower speaker enclosures as well as available driver and passenger loaded subwoofer enclosures.

The source unit mounting kit features the lowest profile of any on the market and mounts using existing factory mounting points. It retains full access to the factory fuse panel and does not interfere with any factory or aftermarket intrusion bars. The mounting shroud is factory color and texture matched for a seamless look and feel once installed.

The upper dash speakers incorporate a newly developed 4-inch coaxial driver with neodymium motor structure designed to deliver higher output and better clarity than standard off the shelf 4-inch speakers. This is combined with a weather tight enclosure that fits to the upper dash panels and uses a Rider Aligned Acoustical Design (R.A.A.D.) that delivers more on-axis sound than other designs and features an integrated plug and play harness. Additionally, the design does not require additional brackets or major modification to the upper panels and fitment works with all factory and aftermarket roll cages which feature intrusion bars.

The lower kick panel enclosures use a 6.5-inch coaxial driver with integrated RGB lighting in a weathertight plug and play design. The harness also integrates an expansion plug to easily add-on the upper dash speakers eliminating the need for extensive rewiring when adding them into the system. The Fully Adjustable, Single Tool (F.A.S.T.) mounting system uses powder coated machined billet aluminum clamps and is designed to give maximum fitment flexibility. This allows the installer to adjust the placement relative to the vehicles body panels eliminating gap issues and ensuring the best fit possible.

The sub enclosures consist of an industry first, high output 12-inch subwoofer in a sealed Slim Line Enclosure Design (S.L.E.D.) that mounts under the seats. The enclosures are down firing with integrated 300-watt shallow mount subwoofers and will not interfere with any of the vehicles high/low position seat adjustability for both factory and aftermarket seats. Installation is made easy with our One Tool Installation System (O.T.I.S.) which reduces the install time and complexity eliminating the need for multiple tools or vehicle modification. High density Neoprene foam has been applied to all contact points to eliminate panel rattles and an anti-vibration kit with installation tool is provided in the package.

Also being introduced are all new complete plug and play packages. These packages will be available in three, five, six or eight speaker layouts and all will incorporate 1000-watts of RMS amplifier power to drive them. They will be packaged with everything needed for installation including integrated audio and power harnesses as well as all necessary hardware. Installation of the kits requires minimal vehicle modification, and each individual component installs in an average of 5-15 minutes. Comprehensive installation videos will also be available for step-by step guided instruction showing the entire process, start to finish.

“Consumer expectations have risen and it’s not just about power and the number of speakers anymore. Consumers need to trust that the product sounds just as good with helmets on and the throttle pinned as it does while hanging around camp.” said Director of Sales and Marketing, Jason Fickas. “The level of thought and detail that has gone into these kits is unmatched in the industry both in performance and integration, and we’re anxious for our customers to see the results of combining the ground-up resources of MTX with a talented development team who just happen to be passionate enthusiasts as well.”

The new Can-Am X3 kits and components are slotted to start shipping in June and more details will follow soon. Be sure to follow us on social media or check out our website for more details as they develop.

TEMPE, Ariz. – July 26, 2016 – Rockford Fosgate, has announced that it has partnered with Polaris® to be the exclusive OEM speaker provider for its 2017 Slingshot® SL and SLR moto-roadster lineup. Available in dealerships this August, the 2017 Slingshot is equipped with a Rockford Fosgate four-speaker sound system.

“With the ever growing popularity of motorsports recreation, whether it’s on road motorcycles or off-road side-x-side and UTVs, Rockford Fosgate has focused on delivering products that are designed to perform while out in the elements,” stated Bill Jackson, Rockford president and CEO. “That’s why our relationship with Polaris makes sense. Polaris is founded on fueling the passion of riders, workers, and outdoor enthusiasts and the team here at Rockford Fosgate prides itself on delivering the best audio experience in every type of vehicle. Our systems are high performance and built to last, no matter where you ride. We are proud to work with Polaris and to provide the music experience in the new 2017 Slingshot.”

The Rockford Fosgate speaker system includes four 6.5-inch, 2-way, Element Ready® drivers, each featuring a neodymium motor structure purpose built for the high output requirements of this application.

“At Rockford, we’re all about enhancing the riding experience for everyone who wants to get out and have fun with their vehicles,” explained Jake Braaten, Rockford V.P. of product development and engineering. “But this project posed an interesting challenge with the unique design of the Slingshot and its open air cockpit. We worked closely with the teams at Polaris to seamlessly integrate our audio without interfering with the overall vehicle’s design intent and performance. At the end of the day, we believe drivers will be exhilarated by the premium Rockford Fosgate audio system in the 2017 Slingshot SL & SLR.”

The Rockford Fosgate design team optimized the 6.5-inch speakers and each enclosure to deliver a premium sound experience without wasting cabin space or adding unnecessary weight to the vehicle. The speaker’s high efficiency and high output were designed to overcome the road and wind noise from the Slingshot’s unique open cockpit.

According to Polaris, its 2017 Slingshot SL & SLR models include an expanded line-up of accessories focused on rider comfort and customization, and that’s where Rockford Fosgate comes in.

“Slingshot’s new 2017 line-up takes the vehicle to the next level,” said Steve Menneto, President of Polaris Motorcycles. “With the new SLR, premium upgrades on the SL and 31 new accessories, including Rockford Fosgate speakers, we are giving our customers more ways to personalize their experience and make Slingshot their own. Slingshot remains committed to redefining the on-road driving experience and I encourage everyone to get out and test ride the 2017 line-up today.”

Turbo S Demo vehicles equipped with Ride Command and Rockford Fosgate Audio will be on display at The Mint 400 Off-road Festival

TEMPE, Ariz., March 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Polaris RZR owners can now retain the control of Ride Command and upgrade their sound to a Rockford Fosgate audio system. All RZR owners will also benefit from 40% lighter weight pods and a water tight subwoofer option.

Rockford Fosgate, the industry leader in high-performance audio systems, is proud to announce an all new line up of audio kits for Polaris RZR 2014 through current vehicles including the RZR XP Turbo S and RZR XP 4 Turbo S. Demo systems will be on display March 7-8 at The Mint 400 Off-road Festival in Las Vegas and all kits will be shipping to customers in May.

"Our goal with these audio kits was to deliver a high-quality sound experience for RZR owners regardless of which vehicle or which optional features they purchased," explained Jake Braaten, Rockford Vice President of New Product Development and Engineering. "With the launch of the new models we have added Stage 3, 4, and 5 systems that are designed for seamless integration when using Ride Command as your stereo source unit," continued Braaten. "This required a tremendous development effort to ensure that our system performs flawlessly for customers in the field. It was imperative that we eliminated many of the problems that currently exist in aftermarket interfaces such as turn on noise, engine whine, and other sounds that detract from their experience."

Rockford Fosgate set out to evolve the line of RZR audio solutions with several customer requested features in mind as well. First, engineers tackled the issue of weight. They redesigned the speaker pods and subwoofer enclosure to retain their durable structure yet be 40% lighter than previous units. Next, the design gurus had to create a subwoofer enclosure that would deliver hard hitting bass but could also be submersible for those drivers trekking through rivers, mud, and high water. The result is a dual application enclosure that is ported for many installations and comes equipped with a plug that allows you to seal the port if you will be submerging the cabin.

Rockford included a lower dash kit mount for RZR models from 2014 – 2018 and added an upper dash kit mount with a hood so that RZR 2019+ owners can choose their source unit mounting location (upper or lower). Rockford also accounted for the difference in the 2019+ units by including two different amplifier mounting plates in their kits. One plate covers 2014 – 2018 vehicles and the other is for 2019 and newer models.

The new line of Rockford Fosgate Polaris RZR Audio Kits Includes:

RZR14-STAGE1 Stereo Kit for select RZR models
RZR14-STAGE2  Stereo and Front speaker kit for select RZR models
RZR14-STAGE3  400 Watt stereo, front speaker and subwoofer kit for select RZR models
