If you’re shopping for speakers for a ATV for the first time or want to improve the sound in your ride, hopefully, this article will help you choose the right speakers and get you past the first stumbling block.

Speakers are one of the most important parts of your ride’s audio system; after all, they’re responsible for creating melodious sounds for your enjoyment. However, most factory-installed speakers are made of lower-quality components that have a significant impact on the sound system’s performance.

The sound quality of your ride will be greatly improved by upgrading your system with ATV speakers. However, because of the complexity of ATV speakers, the task of upgrading your ride’s audio system may become so frustrating that you give up before you even start. That shouldn’t be a concern, as we’ll go over the following factors to consider when choosing ATV speakers:

Budget
You will need to figure out how much you can spend on ATV speakers that suit your taste. The sum should be sufficient to buy the devices and, if necessary, pay for their installation.

ATV speakers that are the cheapest aren’t always the worst, and ATV speakers that are the most expensive aren’t always the best. It all depends on the specific requirements you have for the speakers, so you should be satisfied in the end. Nonetheless, you should avoid paying for performance features that you will never use.

Speakers' Size
To begin, you must determine what size of the speaker is appropriate for your needs. Physically measuring it is the best way to do so. Based on the sizes offered by the manufacturer, you will be able to easily determine what size best suits your needs.
Despite the fact that most ATV speakers are of similar size or shape, there is still important information to keep in mind, which you will learn as you continue reading.

Wire And Cables Quality
Check the quality of the wires and cables used in the ATV speakers’ construction. If not properly installed, low-quality wires and cable can cause corrosion and even catching problems with the custom leather seat covers.

Cone Lightness and Rigidity
A speaker’s cone moves in and out to create sound waves during operation, so the lighter it is, the faster it will respond to the signals it receives. A fluttering cone, on the other hand, will introduce unwanted noises into the sound it produces.
As a result, you should choose ATV speakers with a light and rigid cone.

Ingress Protection (IP) Rating
Go for ATV speakers with a high Ingress Protection (IP) Rating. An ATV speaker’s components must be able to withstand the elements and have a high IP rating to withstand harsh weather conditions.

A high IP rating indicates that the speaker’s components can withstand heat, water, moisture, fog, dust, cold, and salt. The IP rating of the speaker can be found on their labels.

UV Protection
Check for anti-UV coatings on the ATV speakers. This is to ensure they will be protected from the sun’s harmful rays.

Devices exposed to sunlight can deteriorate over time; their plastic parts can become brittle, rendering sensitive internal components such as chips inoperable. Due to discoloration, it can also make your speakers appear old and worn.

Corrosion Resistance
Rust can be a major issue with electronics, particularly ATV speakers. Since your speakers will be exposed to the elements, make sure they are made of corrosion-resistant materials to slow down their aging process. As a result, mounting clamps, brackets, and screws should be completely rustproof.

Functionality
Gather as much information as possible about the speakers’ capabilities. Loudness, noiselessness, USB capability, Bluetooth capability, compatibility with other devices, and so on are all factors to consider. This might even be considered the most relevant factor so far mentioned.

LED Light
The light feature on ATV speakers is worth considering for its aesthetic value, as well as night rides and other activities. This LED light can be built into the speakers or purchased separately as trim rings.

However, the Integrated LED lights are not as bright as the separate ones, but they do have a multicolor light show with strobe effects. With this regard, you can pick any type you want.

Installation
Find out how simple the ATV speakers of your choice are to set up. Is it something you can do yourself, something you’d need to hire a professional to do, or something the manufacturer or seller would gladly do for you for free?

The answers to these questions will help you make a more informed decision.

CONCLUSION

Hopefully, this article has clarified things for you, or at the very least give you a starting point for further research. Please make an effort to enjoy your ATV speakers, no matter which ones you end up choosing.
