![]() ![]() With the equipment mounted and wired, the last step in this system installation was to configure the amp for the head unit and speakers the client chose. Given the proximity of the rear speakers to the driver and passenger, the extra power to the front speakers balances the system nicely. The rear speaker pods are wired in stereo to channels five and six and receive 75 watts of power each. ![]() The front speakers are wired to the amp in a bridged configuration to provide them with a healthy 200 watts of power. We connected the amp to the factory source unit using MESA interconnect cables. Four AWG power and ground wiring run to the battery in the rear of the Slingshot to provide the juice the amp needs to perform. The amplifier is mounted to the floor of the Slingshot under the driver’s seat. At our suggestion, the client chose a JL Audio M600/6 six-channel amp to power the system. The stock radio was retained for this audio system.Ī key part of ensuring the client would be able to enjoy his music was a suitable amplifier. This optimization helps improve bass output from the relatively small speaker system. Each pod features 6.5-inch coaxial speaker designed specifically for the air volume the enclosures provide. We mounted the VeX pods between the headrests to ensure all the music is easy to hear. We mounted a set of PS650-VeX-SG-TMB speaker pods to the roll cage the client had added to his three-wheeler. The fiberglass enclosures fit perfectly around the chassis and provide ample space for the speakers to perform magnificently without taking up much leg room.įor rear speakers, we turned to the JL Audio VeX speaker pods. As we mentioned, the extra tweeters ensure that the client’s music is audible, even at 70 miles per hour. We loaded a set of JL Audio MX650-CCX-SG-TB 6.5-inch coaxial speakers into the enclosures and drilled mounting holes for 1-inch JL Audio M10-CT-SG-TB tweeters in the upper corners. These fiberglass enclosures are designed specifically for the 20 Polaris Slingshot and mount inside the external tubular frame using existing mounting hardware. We started the project by installing a set of SSV Works SS-F65-U front speaker pods. Our plan for the Polaris Slingshot audio system upgrade included two sets of JL Audio speakers and an extra set of tweeters to help overcome wind noise. Our crew was able to mount the VeX pods back far enough so they didn’t interfere with driving. ![]()
