The Challenge
The Kawasaki KRX 1000 is a beast on the trails, but like many side-by-sides, it doesn’t come with the audio setup that serious riders demand. Our client wanted crystal-clear sound that could cut through engine noise, wind, and rough terrain—without compromising the vehicle’s rugged capabilities.

- Superior Sound Quality: JL Audio’s reputation for exceptional audio performance ensures every note comes through clearly
- Durability: These systems are engineered for the harshest conditions, making them ideal for the demanding world of off-road riding
The Installation
Our custom installation included:
- Premium Marine Speakers: Strategically positioned for optimal sound distribution throughout the cabin
- Amplification: Powerful amplification to ensure clear audio even at high speeds and over rough terrain
- Weather-Sealed Wiring: Professional-grade connections that protect against the elements
