UTV Stereo Can-Am Maverick X3 Elite Stage 8 Stereo Kit (2017-2025)

The UTV Stereo Elite Series Stage 8 is the flagship Can-Am X3 audio system UTV Stereo builds for the 2017-2025 Maverick X3 and X3 Max: 3,200 watts through three Elite amplifiers, with 600 watts going to each low-profile 10” subwoofer. Four 6.5” speakers, two 8” compression horns, RGB LED rings and a Wet Sounds MC-20 head unit are included.

This is the kit for riders who want the most from an X3. Two Elite 4-channel amplifiers split the speakers and horns so every driver gets dedicated power, while an Elite 1200W monoblock runs the subwoofers alone. UTV Stereo rates the Elite amplifiers IP67 and the speakers and horns IP65, and says the low-profile sub enclosures fit directly under the seats regardless of seat brand or bolt position.

Fitment

UTV Stereo lists this kit for the Can-Am Maverick X3 and Maverick X3 Max. The kit's Wet Sounds MC-20 head unit installs in UTV Stereo's X3 lower head unit mount, which UTV Stereo lists for 2017-2025 X3 and X3 Max models and marks not compatible with 2026 X3 models, noting the 2026 factory display is not supported. Dunes 2 Dezert therefore lists this kit for 2017-2025.

Choose the clamp size that matches your cage: 1.85” for the stock cage or 1.75” for a typical aftermarket cage. It does not fit the Can-Am Maverick R, Maverick Sport, Commander or Defender, which have their own UTV Stereo kits. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications not listed here; if you are unsure, contact us with your year, model and trim before ordering.

FAQ

What comes in the UTV Stereo Can-Am X3 Elite Stage 8 kit?

UTV Stereo lists Signature Series 6.5” speakers (4), Elite Series 8” compression horns (2), Signature Series 10” low-profile subwoofers (2), Elite Series 1000W 4-channel amplifiers (2), an Elite Series 1200W monoblock amplifier, 6.5” RGB LED speaker rings (4), 8” RGB LED speaker rings (2) and a Wet Sounds MC-20 head unit.

Which clamp size should I choose?

UTV Stereo offers 1.85” clamps for the stock X3 cage and 1.75” clamps for a typical aftermarket cage. Measure your cage tube before ordering.

Does this kit fit the 2026 Can-Am Maverick X3?

Not as listed. UTV Stereo's X3 head unit mount for the included Wet Sounds MC-20 is listed for 2017-2025 X3 and X3 Max models and marked not compatible with 2026 X3 models, which have a new factory display. We list this kit for the 2017-2025 Maverick X3 and X3 Max. If you own a 2026 X3, contact us before ordering and we will confirm options with UTV Stereo.

Are the rear camera, SiriusXM tuner and rear seat subwoofer upgrade included?

No. Some product photos show UTV Stereo's X3 rear camera kit, a SiriusXM tuner and the Elite Series Rear Seat Subwoofer Upgrade for the X3 Max, which adds two more Signature Series 10” low-profile subwoofers and a dedicated 1,200-watt monoblock. These are add-ons, not part of the base kit; the included-parts list in the first answer is what ships.

Is there an install guide for this kit?

Yes. UTV Stereo publishes an instructions and wiring diagram packet for this kit, and it is attached to this listing so you can review the mounting and wiring steps before ordering.

How does the Elite Stage 8 compare to the Elite Stage 7 and Signature Stage 8?

The Elite Stage 8 adds a second Elite 4-channel amplifier to the Stage 7 layout for 3,200 watts. The Signature Stage 8 uses the same speaker, horn and subwoofer lineup on three Signature Series amplifiers for 2,600 watts, without RGB rings.

Why UTV Stereo

UTV Stereo builds complete, vehicle-specific stage kits for side-by-sides instead of loose components, matching its Signature and Elite Series speakers, low-profile subwoofers and amplifiers to the machine. Every X3 kit is designed as one system with its own instructions and wiring diagram, so the speakers, subs and amp are sized to work together in the Elite Stage 8 from day one.

Finish Your Can-Am X3 Elite Stage 8 Audio Build

Before ordering this Can-Am X3 Elite Stage 8 stereo kit, confirm you have a 2017-2025 Maverick X3 or X3 Max and choose the clamp size that fits your cage. A three-amplifier system draws real current, so a Can-Am X3 second battery kit is strongly worth adding, and X3 Max owners can add UTV Stereo's Elite rear seat subwoofer upgrade.
