Proper stereo sound separation requires on a dual channel configuration, which is hard enough for people putting together a home theater system to install. Dirt trail riders who want to put in a Can-Am Maverick sound system often find themselves in quite a bind since it can be difficult to put in two separate sets of speakers far enough away from each other to make their gear sound just right. Fortunately, there are a few tricks that can make this process go much more smoothly.
Several audio hardware vendors now provide drop-in bars that offer multiple driven elements, which can be mounted on the roof of any full-sized utility trail vehicle. Others will place one loudspeaker above the driver’s compartment and one behind it. True surround sound requires a quadraphonic arrangement that features four separate speakers at each corner. This can be achieved by putting up one on each edge of a UTV canopy. To some extent, the best arrangement depends on the kind of music riders prefer when they’re out on the trail.
Anything that’s shifted more toward the bass end of the spectrum is going to need extra woofer power, so it helps to make a little extra header room so a bigger physical element can be installed. Those who prefer something more toward the treble end may want to instead use some extra mid-range speakers to provide for a wider sound profile.
Motorsports fans who are looking to install their own Can-Am Maverick sound system should take a look at the Trail Star Audio page online at trailstaraudio.com.
