How to Add Sound to a Vehicle With No Audio Options

Some vehicles — Can-Am Spyders, UTVs, boats, custom builds — have no off-the-shelf audio kit. Here's how custom fabrication solves the problem.

When There's No Kit

Not every vehicle has an audio system — and not every vehicle has an off-the-shelf kit you can buy. Can-Am Spyders, UTVs, side-by-sides, custom builds, classic cars with no radio at all — these vehicles have no prefab solution.

That's where custom fabrication comes in. When there's no kit, we build one.

What Custom Fabrication Means

Custom fabrication is building what doesn't exist. It's designing and constructing speaker pods, enclosures, mounting panels, and trim pieces from raw materials — fiberglass, MDF, ABS — to fit your specific vehicle.

  • Speaker pods: Built from scratch to fit your dash, fairing, or roll bar
  • Custom enclosures: Subwoofer boxes shaped to fit tight spaces
  • Mounting panels: Clean integration points that don't exist on the vehicle
  • Marine-grade components: For vehicles exposed to weather and water

The Can-Am Spyder Example

We built a yellow Can-Am Spyder that had no audio option — nothing existed for it. We designed and fabricated custom speaker pods from scratch to fit the Spyder's dashboard, installed marine-grade speakers, a compact amp, and wired it all through switched power. The owner got sound on a vehicle that had none — because we built what the vehicle needed.

Why Custom Fabrication Matters

Off-the-shelf kits are designed for common vehicles. If your vehicle is uncommon, custom, or unique, a kit either doesn't exist or doesn't fit right. Custom fabrication means the audio system is designed for your vehicle — not forced to fit.

We Fabricate In-House

At Auto Sounds, we do our own fabrication. We don't send it out. If you have a vehicle that needs something built, come talk to us. We'll look at the vehicle, figure out what's possible, and build it.
