Can-Am Maverick Audio and Audio Accessories
Whoops and braking bumps don't just rattle your fillings in a Maverick X3. They tend to rattle speaker cones right out of those flimsy enclosures, which is why factory-grade UTV audio has to survive constant impact loading, not just mud and rain. Our lineup runs from a 28" Kemimoto RGB soundbar built for a 20-minute clamp install to MTX's Thunder5, a ground-up system engineered around the X3's actual dash and cage geometry with a 12" down-firing subwoofer that tucks under the driver's seat. Every kit here is rated for real off-road vibration, and we stock the deepest Can-Am Maverick aftermarket audio selection online, including brands like MTX Audio, Kemimoto, and SSV Works, down to the specialty names most competitors skip.
Fitment on Maverick audio comes down to two separate questions: what clamps to your roll cage, and what's built for your exact dash. Universal soundbars and cage-mount speaker kits clamp onto tubing between 1.5" and 2.25", which covers the Sport, Sport MAX, Trail, X3, and X3 MAX alike. That said, complete factory-integrated systems like MTX's Thunder5 are cut a different way entirely: that kit is engineered specifically for 2017+ X3 Turbo, Turbo R, DS, RS, and MR trims, with a dash-specific receiver mount and sub enclosure sized to the X3's under-seat cavity, and it isn't built for a Sport or Trail dash at all. If you're cross-shopping a cage-mount kit against a dash-integrated one, the fastest way to know which is right for your trim is to send us your model and year. Text (920) 644-5280 or call (920) 214-8201 and we'll match the kit to your Maverick before you spend a dollar. We only sell brands we'd bolt onto our own machines; if it's carried on this page, someone on our team would run it.

Use This Simple Maverick Audio Quality Checklist
MTX's Thunder5 uses what they call F.A.S.T. (Fully Adjustable, Single Tool) brackets on the lower pods and a separate R.A.A.D.-tuned design on the uppers, both engineered specifically to the X3's dash panels rather than a generic clamp. This is exactly the kind of vehicle-specific fit that keeps speakers seated through the suspension travel; a universal clamp eventually loosens under. Weatherproofing matters just as much: Kemimoto's soundbar carries an IP65 rating, one step down from the IP66 rating you'll see on some other kits in our catalog. IP65 still means fully sealed against dust and safe in driving rain, it's just not built to take a direct high-pressure spray the way an IP66 housing is. For a roof-mounted bar that mostly sees rain and trail spray rather than a pressure washer, that difference rarely matters in practice.
An Honest Look at Maverick Audio Budgeting
Budget-friendly, MTX's MUD6SPBT universal soundbar opens the category at $499.95: a 200-watt, 6-speaker unit that clamps to any Maverick cage between 1.75" and 2.25" with Bluetooth and an aux/output jack for daisy-chaining a second unit. Step up to $1,049.95 for the MAVERICKBOAKIT2 overhead kit, which pairs a 280-watt integrated speaker unit with a separate 400-watt 2-channel amp. That’s real two-stage power instead of one all-in-one box, and the sweet spot for most standard Maverick, Sport, and Trail owners who want dash-adjacent sound without a dash-integrated install. At the top of the lineup, MTX's Thunder5 runs $3,299.95 for the full X3-specific system — media receiver, F.A.S.T./R.A.A.D. speaker pods, and a 12" down-firing sub on a combined 1000 watts. Kemimoto's 28" RGB soundbar opens the category even lower at $237.99 when it's in stock; it's currently showing as backordered on our site, so ask our team for a restock date before you count on it. Most manufacturer warranties in this category run three to six months; Everything Can-Am Offroad adds optional 1- and 2-year extended coverage at checkout on everything we carry, if you want more runway than the manufacturer gives you.
From the shop: the return we see most in this category isn't a bad speaker. It's a cage-mount kit bought for the wrong Maverick. The MAVERICKBOAKIT2's speaker clamps max out at 2", and a handful of X3 cage rails run thicker than that, so an order that would've bolted straight onto a Sport or Trail sits in a box until the customer calls us. A 30-second tape measure on your actual cage tube before ordering solves it every time.
3 Top Selling Can-Am Maverick Audio Brands
MTX Audio engineers its Thunder-series kits around the X3's actual dash and cage dimensions rather than a universal clamp, down to F.A.S.T.-mounted lower pods and R.A.A.D.-tuned uppers built to deliver sound at the rider's ear specifically.
Kemimoto builds its soundbars for a tool-light, 20-minute install — IP65-sealed housings, five RGB lighting modes, and BT 5.0 pairing, at a price point that opens the category rather than tops it.
SSV Works pioneered factory-fit UTV audio integration and still builds its cage speakers around fiberglass enclosures with an EPDM gasket seal and Santoprene surround — construction aimed at holding up to constant vibration, not just splash.

Can-Am Maverick Audio FAQ
Will the same soundbar fit both my Maverick X3 and a buddy's Maverick Trail?
If it's a universal cage-mount soundbar, yes — those clamp to bars between 1.5" and 2.25", which covers the whole Maverick lineup. Complete dash-integrated systems like the Thunder5 are a different story: that kit is built specifically for 2017+ X3 and X3 MAX trims and isn't designed to install in a Sport or Trail dash at all.
Does constant suspension travel loosen these systems over time?
Universal clamp-mount kits are the ones to watch — a clamp that isn't torqued to spec can walk loose after enough whoops. Vehicle-specific hardware like MTX's F.A.S.T. brackets is designed against that exact failure mode, which is part of why a factory-integrated kit costs more than a universal bar.
Is this a drilling job or a bolt-on job?
Cage-mount soundbars and speaker pods clamp on with no drilling required. A dash-integrated receiver like the Thunder5's does mean running wiring behind the dash panel, which is more involved but still doesn't require cutting on a Maverick with the correct kit.
What's the real difference between a soundbar and a kit like Thunder5?
A soundbar is one self-contained unit — speakers, amp, and Bluetooth in a single housing you clamp on and go. A complete system splits those into separate, higher-output components: a dedicated receiver, amplifier, subwoofer, and speaker pods wired together, which is why Thunder5 can push 1000 watts where a soundbar tops out closer to 500.
Is aftermarket Maverick audio actually built for off-road use, or is it repackaged car audio?
Purpose-built UTV audio is engineered against sustained vibration and direct weather exposure in a way most car-audio gear never has to survive — SSV Works, for instance, builds its cage speakers on fiberglass enclosures with a Santoprene surround specifically because a standard car-speaker cone breaks down faster under constant off-road shock.
