Can-Am Defender HD11 K-Spec 8-Speaker Touchscreen Kit by SSV Works
The Can-Am Defender HD11 audio kit for touchscreen-equipped trims gets a Phase-7 K-Spec layout with Kicker speakers and dual SSV V10 subs. This SSV Works Defender HD11 system uses four front overhead Kicker speakers, two rear overhead Kicker speakers, and two under-seat V10 subwoofers for a full Defender HD11 8-speaker system. It connects to the factory BRP touchscreen, so no separate head unit is included.

Built To Solve
- Factory HD11 audio runs out of headroom the moment you pick up speed on the trail or open road.
- Thin factory bass that disappears under engine, wind, and tire noise.
- No rear-seat sound coverage for passengers in the cab.
- Wanting loud, projecting Kicker output without an aftermarket head unit or cutting into the dash.
Best For
- 2026 Can-Am Defender HD11 owners with the factory BRP touchscreen who want the flagship Phase-7 system with Kicker speakers.
- Riders running XT, XT CAB, Limited, MAX XT, and Lone Star trims who want full front and rear cab coverage plus dual subs.
- Buyers who prefer Kicker's louder, more forward voicing — choose the V-Spec kit for SSV's in-house speakers, or a Phase-5 kit for a single sub.

This kit connects to the factory touchscreen and is not compatible with X MR or other no-touchscreen trims (see the w/MRB4 version for those).

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this kit work with my Defender HD11 if it does not have the factory touchscreen?
No. This version connects to the factory BRP touchscreen and needs it as the source. If your HD11 does not have the touchscreen, or is an X MR, choose the SSV Works Phase-7 K-Spec kit with the MRB4 head unit instead.
What is the difference between K-Spec and V-Spec?
K-Spec uses Kicker speakers for a louder, more forward sound; V-Spec uses SSV's in-house V6 speakers for a balanced in-cab voicing. Both run the same 1,650W amplification and dual SSV V10 subs.
Does this kit add bass, or just speakers?
Both. Along with six overhead Kicker speakers it includes two SSV V10 10-inch subwoofers in ported under-seat enclosures, driven by a dedicated 850W mono amplifier.
Do I have to cut my Defender to install it?
No. The enclosures and speakers are 3D-scanned to the HD11 and mount in factory locations with no cutting, for a clean, factory-style install.
How do I control the audio without a head unit?
The system feeds off the factory BRP touchscreen, so you control Bluetooth, media, and volume from the factory display. A knob controller runs the RGB speaker lighting.
What does the warranty cover?
SSV Works backs the enclosures and SSV subwoofers with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Kicker components carry a 3-year warranty and amplifiers a 2-year warranty.
Why SSV Works
SSV Works has built purpose-made UTV audio since 2006, engineering complete, weatherproof systems designed for the dust, water, and vibration of off-road riding rather than adapting car or marine gear. Each HD11 system is 3D-scanned to the vehicle for a factory-style fit.
