Another long-time great client of ours, Ryan K. from across the river in North Mankato, brought his John Deere Gator RSX850i in for a little audio upgrade. As an avid hunter, Ryan wanted to be able to play some tunes on the long haul to his favorite hunting spots. Ryan is tall, so mounting anything overhead in the rear was an absolute non-starter. Instead, we used a high-end Memphis Audio sound bar mounted across the overhead front beam. The Memphis unit has heavy-duty aluminum brackets that will take the off-road abuse without any problem and sounds great while pumping out Ryan’s favorite tunes.
The Memphis unit can be linked via wireless Bluetooth for audio streaming and also has an auxiliary input port that we extended and installed a 3.5 mm jack on his dashboard for ease of access. The system powers with a marine-grade switch we installed on the other side of the dash so the system can be powered up without the keys being in the Razor. In addition to controlling the audio via his smartphone, the soundbar has the all-important audio buttons on its main control panel and they are illuminated for easy use, day or night.
