FAQ
Will this kit work if my HD11 has no factory touchscreen?
No. This version uses the factory BRP touchscreen as its source and is not compatible with no-touchscreen HD11 trims such as X MR. Choose SSV's MRB4 version of this kit instead.
Do I keep my touchscreen features?
Yes. SSV Works says the kit retains the touchscreen's Bluetooth, media controls and factory audio.
How much power does the system make?
1,650W total: an 800W 4-channel amplifier for the speakers and an 850W mono amplifier for the subwoofer section.
How do I control the speaker lighting?
A knob controller runs the RGB lighting in solid, blend and flash modes, with no app required. It mounts in one of four rocker switch slots.
Should I choose K-Spec or V-Spec?
K-Spec uses Kicker KML speakers with a Kicker 3-year speaker warranty. V-Spec uses SSV's own V6 speakers, which carry SSV's Limited Lifetime speaker warranty.
What does the warranty cover?
SSV enclosures and SSV subwoofers carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty, Kicker speakers carry a Limited 3-Year Warranty, and SSV amplifiers carry a Limited 2-Year Warranty.
Why SSV Works
SSV Works has built purpose-made UTV audio since 2006, engineering weatherproof speakers, enclosures and complete systems for the dust, water and vibration of off-road riding rather than adapting car or marine gear.
