Stereo Installation on 2016 RXV

[madtuna187]

Hello everyone....I have a new-to-me 2016 RXV being built and I want to install an amp and two speakers on the cart. I only need to be able to connect to the system via bluetooth and don't really want a head unit. I could live with one of the small guage style bluetooth adapters. What amp/bluetooth adapter is everyone using? I found the amp below on Crutchfield that seems to be an amp/bluetooth combo...anyone have any experience with this unit? How about the voltage reducer? Any particular brand better than the other? Thanks in advance for any advice/recommendations!

That would work fine. I use a JL Audio amp and Bluetooth connector.

I run a aux 12v battery for my audio and lights.

Is your aux battery completely isolated? Looking to do the same thing but would like to see if there is a way to charge the aux battery from the 12v converter while the pack is charging

Thanks for the feedback. I like that JL Audio controller. Does the aux 12v battery charge while you have the cart plugged in? Can you share a pic of how you have the amp and battery mounted?

The amp is mounted behind the controller panel.

My aux battery is in the space opposite of the controller under the seat. I charge it separate from the main batter pack.

Nicely done!

I have a 2012 rxv that came with the kicker Bluetooth system with 2 speakers. Could I add an amp to that and if so which one would be best to get?

Does anyone have a voltage reducer they have used and recommend?

Check with ScottyB https://www.cartsunlimited.net/ for a reducer. He has several that will work just fine.

Do an advanced search, to see where to land the trigger wire without blowing up your controller. RXVs don't like it when you mess with the wiring. It's been discussed here before, and an apparent consensus on where to wire it was mentioned.
