The JBL UB4100 Soundbar is a high performance integrated audio system designed for UTVs, boats and other personal and family vehicles built for fun and recreation.
The UB4100 was designed to work outdoors under extreme weather conditions, with very high levels of vibration and abuse. The system can be used as a single soundbar, or split apart to be used as 2 separate speakers. It had to withstand 10g's of force, and have the ability to mount to various sized roll bars and cages. When mounted, the speakers had to be angle adjustable to allow for users to customize sound direction.
Quick release brackets were designed so that the system could be easily removed. A remote control was designed to lock into the side of the unit for storage, and could not release even under extreme shock conditions. A built-in amplifier provides for 80watts of power per channel.
Map lights were integrated into the bottom of the system, as well as a GoPro mount for user convenience. LED's across the front of the unit indicate how much power the built-in amp is outputting, and is there also for the enjoyment of the user.
