SSV Works
SSV Works did not join the UTV audio market, it started it. Founded in 2006, SSV was the first company to build audio purpose-made for side-by-sides, and it is still the one most owners and shops reach for when they want sound that survives the trail. What sets it apart is not volume, it is fit and durability: every enclosure is rotationally molded from UV-stable polyethylene that shrugs off mud, water and vibration where fiberglass and wood boxes crack, and every kit is 3D-scanned to the machine so it bolts in plug-and-play with factory-style connectors and no cutting. Side By Side Source stocks the full SSV line, from a single pair of 6.5-inch weatherproof speakers to a 1,650-watt six-speaker system, for Polaris, Can-Am, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda and Arctic Cat.
How much system you need comes down to how loud you want it and how much you want to build. A rider adding sound to a bare cage starts with an overhead sound bar, an all-in-one bar with speakers, a Bluetooth head unit and an amp. Someone who wants real, tuned sound for their exact machine steps up to a vehicle-specific Phase system. Owners who already have speakers add pods or a subwoofer to fill the gaps. And Polaris owners running a Ride Command screen can keep the factory display and add SSV speakers and subs through plug-and-play harnesses built for it. This page carries all of it, from a $20 harness to a $2,700 full system. We have sold aftermarket UTV parts since 2010 to more than a million powersports customers, so tell us your machine and what you are starting with, and we will spec the system that fits.

SSV builds beyond audio too. The same plug-and-play engineering shows up in its Switch Works smart switch panels and its turn-signal kits, like the Polaris Xpedition sequential turn-signal kit ($457.99–$517.99) that adds street-legal front LEDs and taillight integration with no wire cutting. If you want to see the full SSV line for your machine, pick your make and model above.

BUYER'S GUIDE: How to Build an SSV Works Audio System
SSV audio builds in layers, and the right starting point depends on your goal: the easiest single upgrade, the best possible sound for your machine, or just filling in what you already run. Here is what each path is and what it runs.
Ways to Build SSV Works Audio
| Build | What it is | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overhead sound bar | All-in-one cage-mount bar: four speakers, an MRB3 Bluetooth head unit and a 200-watt amp | The easiest single-purchase upgrade, no dash cutting | ~$598 |
| Full Phase system | Vehicle-specific kit of speakers, amp, MRB4 head unit and wiring, tiered A-Spec, V-Spec and K-Spec | Serious, tuned sound built for your exact machine | $760–$2,700 |
| Speaker pods | Cage, dash, kick or door pods with 6.5" weatherproof speakers | Adding or upgrading speakers on a setup you already run | $118–$900 |
| Subwoofer enclosure | Rotomolded ported box with a 10" sub, in glove-box, under-seat or under-dash fit | Adding bass without giving up cab space | $298–$1,000 |
| Bluetooth head unit | The MRB3 or MRB4 media controller that runs and expands the system | The brain, if you are building piece by piece | $250–$300 |
What Makes an SSV System Survive the Trail
Two things separate purpose-built UTV audio from car speakers zip-tied to a cage. The first is the enclosure. SSV rotationally molds its sub boxes from UV-stable polyethylene, a seamless, high-density housing that takes mud, water and constant vibration and outlasts the fiberglass or wood boxes that swell and crack in the weather. The second is the fit. SSV 3D-scans each machine's interior and builds vehicle-specific harnesses, so a Phase kit drops in with factory-style plugs, no cut wires and no drilled dash, which is why the installs go fast and the electronics stay trouble-free. The speakers are weatherproof by design, and SSV backs the enclosures and speakers with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, a claim a company only makes when the hardware holds up. One thing worth knowing before you buy: match the amp to the speaker count. A four-speaker sound bar runs fine on its built-in 200 watts, but adding pods and a sub means stepping up to a Phase system with the bigger amp, rather than starving speakers on too little power.
What an SSV Works System Costs
The entry point is components. A pair of A-Spec 6.5-inch weatherproof speakers is $117.99, an RGB accessory controller is $157.99, and a plug-and-play rear speaker-pod harness is $19.99. This is the layer you add to a machine that already has a head unit.
The middle is the sweet spot for most buyers: a complete overhead sound bar or an overhead system. The Can-Am Defender and Polaris Ranger four-speaker sound bars with an MRB3 head unit and a 200-watt amp are about $598, and a four-speaker Bluetooth overhead system for the RZR runs $759.99 to $783.89. One purchase, real sound, cage-mounted.
The top end is a full vehicle-specific system or a Ride Command build. A three-speaker plug-and-play system for the Polaris General is $1,749.99, a RZR Ride Command Kicker system is $1,949.99, and the Can-Am Maverick X3 Phase-4 V-Spec five-speaker 1,650-watt system with the MRB4 head unit is $2,697.99. Financing through Affirm is available at checkout on the full systems.
Every order carries our risk-free 90-day return and a best-price guarantee, and shipping is free over $250. On top of that, SSV's own Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the speakers and enclosures. Questions on what pairs with your machine or your Ride Command screen? That is what our team is for.

SSV Works FAQ
Will an SSV system fit my UTV, and does it work with Ride Command?
SSV builds vehicle-specific kits, so the systems, pods, subs and harnesses are cut per machine, which is why you pick your make and model to filter to what fits. Universal parts like the A-Spec speakers and the universal sub enclosure fit anything. And yes, Polaris owners with a Ride Command screen can keep the factory display: SSV makes plug-and-play harnesses and Kicker kits that add speakers and a sub to the Ride Command head unit. Send us your machine if you are not sure.
What is the difference between a sound bar and a full system?
An overhead sound bar is the all-in-one shortcut: four speakers, a Bluetooth head unit and an amp in a single bar that clamps to the cage, one purchase and a quick install. A full Phase system is engineered for your exact machine and spreads speakers through the dash, kicks and doors with a bigger amp and often a sub, for louder, cleaner, tuned sound. Sound bar for simple and fast, Phase system for serious.
Are SSV speakers and boxes really waterproof?
They are built for it. The speakers are weatherproof, and the subwoofer enclosures are rotationally molded from UV-stable polyethylene, a seamless housing that resists mud, water and vibration and outlasts fiberglass or wood boxes. SSV backs the speakers and enclosures with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, which is the honest tell that the hardware is made to live outside.
Do I need an amplifier, and how much power?
Most complete SSV setups include the amp. A four-speaker sound bar runs on a built-in 200 watts, while the full Phase systems scale up to 1,650 watts for five and six-speaker builds. If you are only adding a pair of speakers to an existing system, check that your head unit can drive them, or add a small amp if it cannot. The rule is simple: more speakers and a sub need more power, so match the amp to the build rather than starving it.
What is the SSV "Phase" system, and which tier should I get?
Phase kits are SSV's full vehicle-specific systems, sold in tiers. A-Spec is the entry tier, around 800 watts and four speakers. V-Spec is the mid-to-upper tier, five and six speakers at 1,650 watts. K-Spec is the premium tier, built around Kicker speakers and often horns for the most output. Pick by how loud you ride and how many seats you need to fill, and we will match the tier to your machine.
