I’ve always wanted a loud speaker system for my ATV and I finally pulled plug on this Planet Audio PATV65 speaker system with LED light bar.
The unit came packaged well with plenty of accessories and mounting options. It comes with some straps to secure it but with the type of riding I sometimes do, I only use ratchet style straps for an extra level of security, so the OEM ones can sit on the shelf for now. The unit can plug right into a cigarette style plug on your ATV or side by side, or you can hard wire it right to the battery with the supplied plug adapter, which is what I did. This way I can hide the wiring and know that I have a direct battery connection for the best power connection and voltage/current supply.
Pairing with my iPhone 6 was fast and simple. I enjoy listening to everything from country, to rock, electronic to pop. I’m also a bit of an audiophile so I know what good music should sound like. The frequency response is said to be 45hz-20khz. I would estimate the low end sounds more like it reaches down to 60hz or so, but the top end is nice and clear, without being too bright. This thing is loud! I’m happy to see they use a class A/B amplifier, which is really the best of both worlds instead of a mono class amplifier, especially for something as mobile as this. With the volume maxed out on the unit and on my phone, it was very loud and you would have no problem riding down a gravel road and hearing your music; even with a helmet on.
My only gripe, and it’s a very slight one, is the bass response is about what you would expect from a 6.5" driver. It has good mid-bass and punch, but the look of this case just screams bass but it’s just OK on that front….
