Rugged Multi-Band Radio

Rugged Radios’ new RM50-MB Multi-Band Radio merges VHF, UHF, CB, HAM, AM and FM all into one unit for the ultimate, versatile communication system.

Now, you can have CB for your road trips, VHF for off-road friends, UHF for short course, HAM for intense radio enthusiasts and even AM/FM for a little downtime radio listening.

Rugged Radios has designed the RM50-MB to fit practically any off-road vehicle. Installation is simple. Just mount the radio box out of sight, perhaps under a seat, and install the compact remote head in a convenient location on the dash using the supplied 16-foot extension cable.

An easy to read display also allows you to monitor two channels at the same time. This means you can stay in contact with friends using CB or VHF, all while using one single radio. Additional features include a programmable hand mic for "on the fly" channel changes and the ability to save presets. A loud speaker as well as a 3.5mm speaker output port completes the radio package.

The radio features 40 CB channels and 800 programmable channels. The RM-50R Dual Band Radio and PTTs retails for $556.15.

Hifonics Sound System

It’s not about making noise, but rather about designing sound—that’s the approach of the Hifonics Sound System. Anyone can crank up the volume … but it takes precise engineering to optimize how the sound interacts with the UTV experience.

Hifonics has bundled its TPS-6 Powered Bluetooth Soundbar, a pair of TPS-CP80 Compression Horns and a compact TPS-A500.2 500 watt two-channel amplifier for the ultimate stereo experience.

The six speaker, waterproof, Bluetooth, HPD Soundbar features high efficiency drivers and titanium dome tweeters. Thor UHS Compression Horns are able to produce 95dB from a single 8-inch driver. The 500-watt, two-channel amplifier is built specifically for powersport applications.

The complete system retails for $1,450.
