CAMARILLO, CA (03.05.26) – SSV Works announced the launch of its new Plug-&-Play Rear-Seat 10″ Subwoofer Add-On Kit engineered specifically for the 2026 Polaris RZR Pro R factory audio system.
For 2026, Polaris introduced an 8-channel, 1500-watt factory amplifier and pre-ran a rear subwoofer output harness to the rear seat area. SSV Works designed this kit to take advantage of that factory layout, creating a true add-on solution that drops under the rear driver-side seat and plugs directly into the factory rear subwoofer output, with no wire routing, no dash teardown, and no fabrication. The result is a fast, clean upgrade for Pro R owners who want more bass from their factory system without committing to a full aftermarket audio build.
“Not everyone wants to go all-in on a complete aftermarket kit, but a lot of riders still want the low-end the factory system is missing,” said Kelson, Marketing Director of SSV Works. “This add-on is the smart middle ground. You keep the factory audio system, and you get a noticeable bass upgrade in about 20 minutes.”
Designed for real off-road use, the rear-seat enclosure delivers deep, hard-hitting bass while staying tucked away and protected. Because the Pro R already has the rear sub output in place, installation stays simple and cost-effective, making it an ideal next-step upgrade for factory-audio Pro R owners.
“This is the kind of upgrade dealers love because it sells itself,” added Kelson. “If you have Pro R Ultimate’s sitting on the showroom floor, this is a perfect solution to install ahead of time. Customers hear it once and it helps close the deal.”
Key Features
• Built specifically for the 2026 Polaris RZR Pro R factory audio system
• Plug-&-Play connection to the factory rear subwoofer output harness
• Drops into the cavity under the rear driver-side rear seat
• No wire run, no cutting, no fabrication, and no dash access required
• 20-minute install for a fast, high-impact upgrade
• Limited Lifetime Warranty
• A cost-effective way to add more bass while keeping the factory amplifier and system intact

TEMPE, AZ (03.03.26) – Mobile Solutions is proud to announce the official launch of FabKit™, an engineered Speaker Grille & Panel System designed to dramatically reduce fabrication time while delivering premium, layered 3D interior styling.
“Too many shops avoid custom work because they believe it’s not profitable,” said Bryan Schmitt, founder, president, and CEO of Mobile Solutions. “We’ve challenged the status quo in fabrication by asking one simple question: How can we build smarter and save valuable time? FabKit is the answer. It increases efficiency, raises consistency, and gives shops the freedom to focus on generating revenue instead of sanding and routing for hours. Wrap it in material, install it, and you’re done.”
FabKit was created to eliminate some of the most time-consuming stages of custom panel fabrication. The system allows shops to focus more on creativity and finishing, and less on layout, routing, and grille-frame construction.
Engineered Efficiency Meets Premium Design
FabKit features a precision-machined, layered construction that is ready for upholstery in leather, suede, or vinyl straight out of the box. Its integrated magnet system allows effortless grille removal and secure reinstallation.
The system is designed for universal flexibility across multiple custom audio applications and produces consistent, repeatable results across builds.
Real-World Results: Major Time Savings
Early adopters are reporting significant labor reductions.
“The MS FabKit system is easily the biggest time saver since the release of the original Smart Template system,” said Peter Riker of The Specialists in Tucson, Ariz. “We easily save 8–10 hours of fabrication time using the FabKit.”
Built for Profitability
FabKit helps shops: • Save 4–6+ hours per project • Deliver OEM-inspired layered depth styling • Increase shop throughput and revenue • Improve client satisfaction with faster turnaround
With time savings translating directly to billable hours, FabKit positions shops to take on more projects and improve margins.
Available Models
FabKit Speaker Grille Panel Systems are available in four configurations: • FK-APEX – 34.75in. x 13in. • FK-GT – 41.25in. x 13in. • FK-Shadow – 37.25in. x 12.5in. • FK-Covert – 42in. x 13.5in.
