Are you planning to hit the trails any time soon? There is no better adventure partner than the Can-Am lineup that includes the Can-Am Commander, Defender, and Maverick. Every road trip deserves a great Can-Am sound system, whichever model you choose.
First, let’s discuss the differences between the three SXS all-terrain vehicles (ATVs): Commander, Defender, and Maverick.
This versatile UTV was designed for both work and play. It has a dual-level cargo box that’s great for hunters. There is enough space for hunting gear and Can-Am Commander accessories, including a Can-Am Commander sound system.
The Defender is designed for work and utility use, with a focus on durability, capability, and versatility. Farmers and laborers prefer this vehicle as it can tow up to 3,000 pounds. You can easily pair it with the Can-Am Defender audio system, which includes some top-notch Can-Am speakers.
The Maverick is designed for sport and recreational use, with a focus on speed, handling, and agility. This vehicle has a powerful engine that allows drivers to maneuver challenging terrains. You need a high-quality and appropriate Can-Am Maverick sound system and compatible Can-Am Maverick UTV speakers that can handle the ebb and flow of demanding trails.
What Is the Ideal Can-Am Sound System?
When it comes to adding audio to your Can-Am UTV, you have two main options: OEM sound systems and roll bar speakers. While OEM sound systems are factory-installed and designed to integrate seamlessly with your UTV's electrical system, roll bar speakers are aftermarket add-ons that attach to your UTV's roll cage or other areas using clamps or brackets. Here are some key differences between OEM sound systems and roll bar speakers:
Installation: OEM sound systems are typically installed by the manufacturer during the production process, while roll bar speakers are installed by the owner or a third-party vendor after the fact. Installing an OEM sound system by yourself, will require the removal of Kick or door panels and for you to be familiar with the electrical system and other components of the CAN AM. On the other hand, installing tower / Roll bar speakers does not necessarily require you to remove any vehicle parts and depending on the brand you choose, installation can be plug and play and done in a few hours.
Customization: Roll bar speakers are available in a wide range of sizes, styles, and colors, allowing you to customize your audio system to your exact preferences. This can be especially useful if you're looking for a unique look or specific features that may not be available with an OEM system.
Affordability: Roll bar speakers are generally more affordable than OEM sound systems, making them a great option if you're on a tight budget. Additionally, roll bar speakers are often sold individually or in pairs, so you can start with a basic system and add additional speakers over time as your needs and budget allow.
Flexibility: Roll bar speakers can be installed in a variety of locations on your Can-Am UTV's roll cage, allowing you to customize the sound direction and coverage to your preferences. This can be especially useful if you frequently ride with passengers or if you prefer to position your speakers for maximum sound quality and clarity.
Upgradability: If you choose a roll bar speaker system, you can upgrade or replace individual components as needed, allowing you to continue using your existing components and wiring while upgrading to new speakers, amplifiers, or other audio equipment.
Compatibility: Roll bar speakers are designed to be compatible with a wide range of UTVs and other off-road vehicles, making them a versatile and practical choice for many riders. Additionally, many roll bar speakers are Bluetooth-enabled, allowing you to stream music wirelessly from your smartphone or other device.

What are the criteria for a good SXS sound system?

Budget
Your Can-Am Defender audio system should not break your budget. But this doesn’t mean that you must pick the cheapest speakers in the UTV sound system market. It’s all about getting the best possible value for your money.
Features
Great speakers don’t just need to sound good; they must have the ability to make music sound exceptional. You want your Can-Am speakers to have a full sound or the ability to add a separate subwoofer to your set up. For instance, NOAM N5 tower speakers have a special feature, a 3” passive radiator on the back of their pod, which increases the output of low frequency sound waves. This allows the speakers to produce a wider range of sound waves, from High to low. Another advantage of these passive radiators is that they allow the speakers to sound much bigger than they actually are.
Size
Bulky speakers may affect the aesthetics of your Can-Am vehicle and more importantly they might obstruct your view while driving. At the same time, small speakers might not be loud enough to be heard while driving.. The ideal speaker size for SXS is around 5.25 inches and above.
