The MB Quart MBQ-UNI8-1 is a 400 watt Stage 2 universal UTV stereo kit with two 8 inch compression horn tower speakers, a two-channel amplifier and a Bluetooth joystick controller. It is a complete side by side stereo system for machines with no factory audio, built around roll cage mounted speakers and a switch-hole controller.
This 400 watt kit is a different generation from the 160 watt UNI8.1R universal system. The UNI8-1 uses a separate 400 watt NA2-400.2 amplifier and N2-WBT joystick controller instead of a gauge-mount radio, so it plays louder and powers the 8 inch compression horns harder.
As a universal UTV sound system it covers every piece: UTV compression horn speakers that mount as roll cage speakers (often searched as UTV roll bar speakers), a compact UTV amplifier and a UTV Bluetooth stereo controller, all in one UTV stereo kit.
