COSTA MESA, CA (09.23.22) – MTX Audio offers a wide selection for products for the Powersports market. The West Coast’s annual Sand Sports Super Show, at the Orange Country Fair and Event Center, was an excellent venue for MTX Audio to connect with thousands of sand and Powersports enthusiasts.
The MTX Audio area included several SXS demos, products stacked under a large canopy and large trailer. The setup adjacent to Polaris brought much event traffic to the MTX area.
The MTX Audio Team members on site included Jason Fickas, Jason Planck, Steve Abdelahad and Ceasar Olaes. The MTX area was massive with multiple vehicles on site and all outfitted with the latest audio gear MTX offers. Attendees had a chance to experience live demos on the hottest vehicle specific audio kits plus get sales and technical info from team members. MTX was located adjacent to the Polaris setup which was a great traffic draw.
The MTX Audio crew pictured in the center of the booth area included Jason Planck, Steven Abdelahad, Ceasar Olaes and Jason Fickas (L to R).
Jason Fickas related “In terms of the Sand Show it’s one of the few events we attended this year that had significant growth in both consumer and vendor participation. I’m not able to make it to most events but this one is a priority for me because of the opportunity to learn first-hand what various consumers want and expect. It’s also a venue to observe where the industry is headed and of course what other manufacturers are focused on product wise.”
This loaded SXS was one of several demos set for attendees to experience and crank it up.
Concluding Fickas offered “Along with a substantial increase in show sales over last year’s show, it’s always nice to catch up with industry friends and perhaps find some new ventures as well.”

PHOENIX, AZ (01.10.22) – MTX Audio has introduced all new audio kits and components for the Polaris RZR Pro XP platform of vehicles. This new offering will be compatible with machines that come with and without the Ride Command system option and install in existing factory locations.
Two of the primary components being introduced are the front speaker and subwoofer systems to complement the already popular rear speakers and amplifiers. The new PROXP-20-FS component speaker system features an all-weather 6 1⁄2” midrange driver preinstalled in a rotationally molded enclosure that mounts in the factory location beneath the dash.

Additionally, the speaker pod’s design allows for installation in just a few minutes.
The subwoofer option, the PROXP-20-SW consists of a high output 10-inch subwoofer in a high mounted, ported design that installs in the dash. The enclosure is intended to be coupled with the MUD600-1 mono-block amplifier and features a front firing design to maximize bass output.

The first allows a customer to add the PROXP-20-SW and MUD600-1 amplifier to an existing OE front two speaker system and the second option allows the addition of a pair of our MUD65PL rear speakers to an OE two or three speaker system. All kits come complete with direct-fit hardware and plug-n-play harnesses for a frustration-free installation.
“With the rise in popularity of the Pro XP platform of vehicles combined with the limited audio options available to our customers, we knew we needed to bring a high quality, and bulletproof option to the market.” said Director of Sales and Marketing, Jason Fickas. “We’ve put a lot of research and development into the design of these kits to ensure they are the easiest to install and deliver exceptional sound quality no matter what speed you’re going.”

PHOENIX, AZ (11.03.2021) – MTX Audio, of the MiTek Electronics and Communications Group, is updating and expanding their line-up of universal audio kits for off-road and UTV applications.
To date, MTX has offered five different kits in the category with their ORV and BORV series kits These came in two and four speaker configurations using the MUD65PL wake speakers and featured a choice of a Bluetooth connected media controller, the MUDBTRC, or interconnection options with a 3.5mm aux cable or a pair of RCAs allowing the user to connect to an existing source or media device. All kits also included the MUD100.2 2-channel amplifier for power as well as a complete power kit and speaker wire.
The new kit offering will expand the family to a total of twelve available kits in six different two and four speaker configurations. One major change is in the source unit options. Besides continuing to offer kits featuring the MUDBTRC Bluetooth controller, they are adding two additional variations, one featuring the AWMC3 media receiver and the other with the MUDBTSW Bluetooth switch. The AWMC3 features a 3-inch full color screen with AM/FM radio, auxiliary input, Bluetooth connectivity and is expandable with SiriusXM satellite radio. The MUDBTSW has an integrated auxiliary input and Bluetooth connectivity and is designed to fit in the standard switch knockout of most side-by-side vehicles.
For interconnection options, the 3.5mm auxiliary and RCA add-on kits will continue while adding a new configuration designed for Polaris vehicles featuring their Ride Command system. This kit will use the PRCAA Ride Command adapter to allow the user a plug and play option for quickly interconnecting to the factory output. This lets the customer connect and play their audio through the Ride Command console.
“Our goal is to provide customers complete audio solutions for their UTV and while our vehicle specific systems are the ultimate choice, we realize there are dozens of other UTV models in the market that don’t have this option.”, said Director of Sales and Marketing, Jason Fickas. “Outside of our overhead systems, our current family of universal kits has been very successful and based on consumer feedback, we’re now expanding the family from five options to twelve. Whether you’re adding on to you existing system or Ride Command or prefer to pick from several source unit options, you’re sure to find a kit that suits your style and still comes with everything you need for installation all in one box. High performance made simple.”
The new Universal audio kits are slated to start shipping in mid-November and more information can be found on their website at www.MTX.com.
PHOENIX, AZ (04.02.2021) – MTX Audio, of the MiTek Electronics and Communications Group, is announcing the introduction of all new audio kits and components to their lineup for select Can-Am Maverick X3 model vehicles. This new offering is building off the success of the Polaris RZR audio kits introduced last year and will be available for most 2017 and newer model vehicles.
The new components will consist of a low-profile dash mounting kit that works with our AWMC3 media receiver, fully assembled front upper and separate lower speaker enclosures as well as available driver and passenger loaded subwoofer enclosures.
The source unit mounting kit features the lowest profile of any on the market and mounts using existing factory mounting points. It retains full access to the factory fuse panel and does not interfere with any factory or aftermarket intrusion bars. The mounting shroud is factory color and texture matched for a seamless look and feel once installed.
The upper dash speakers incorporate a newly developed 4-inch coaxial driver with neodymium motor structure designed to deliver higher output and better clarity than standard off the shelf 4-inch speakers. This is combined with a weather tight enclosure that fits to the upper dash panels and uses a Rider Aligned Acoustical Design (R.A.A.D.) that delivers more on-axis sound than other designs and features an integrated plug and play harness. Additionally, the design does not require additional brackets or major modification to the upper panels and fitment works with all factory and aftermarket roll cages which feature intrusion bars.
The lower kick panel enclosures use a 6.5-inch coaxial driver with integrated RGB lighting in a weathertight plug and play design. The harness also integrates an expansion plug to easily add-on the upper dash speakers eliminating the need for extensive rewiring when adding them into the system. The Fully Adjustable, Single Tool (F.A.S.T.) mounting system uses powder coated machined billet aluminum clamps and is designed to give maximum fitment flexibility. This allows the installer to adjust the placement relative to the vehicles body panels eliminating gap issues and ensuring the best fit possible.
The sub enclosures consist of an industry first, high output 12-inch subwoofer in a sealed Slim Line Enclosure Design (S.L.E.D.) that mounts under the seats. The enclosures are down firing with integrated 300-watt shallow mount subwoofers and will not interfere with any of the vehicles high/low position seat adjustability for both factory and aftermarket seats. Installation is made easy with our One Tool Installation System (O.T.I.S.) which reduces the install time and complexity eliminating the need for multiple tools or vehicle modification. High density Neoprene foam has been applied to all contact points to eliminate panel rattles and an anti-vibration kit with installation tool is provided in the package.
Also being introduced are all new complete plug and play packages. These packages will be available in three, five, six or eight speaker layouts and all will incorporate 1000-watts of RMS amplifier power to drive them. They will be packaged with everything needed for installation including integrated audio and power harnesses as well as all necessary hardware. Installation of the kits requires minimal vehicle modification, and each individual component installs in an average of 5-15 minutes. Comprehensive installation videos will also be available for step-by step guided instruction showing the entire process, start to finish.
“Consumer expectations have risen and it’s not just about power and the number of speakers anymore. Consumers need to trust that the product sounds just as good with helmets on and the throttle pinned as it does while hanging around camp.” said Director of Sales and Marketing, Jason Fickas. “The level of thought and detail that has gone into these kits is unmatched in the industry both in performance and integration, and we’re anxious for our customers to see the results of combining the ground-up resources of MTX with a talented development team who just happen to be passionate enthusiasts as well.”
The new Can-Am X3 kits and components are slotted to start shipping in June and more details will follow soon. Be sure to follow us on social media or check out our website for more details as they develop.
