The 900 is a beast. That is all I have to say. This thing is night and day difference over my 13 crew 800 I had. But now I am looking for overhead radio and speaker ideas. I prefer the DIY ideas.

We make overhead console/ radio w/4 speakers for the Ranger 900. We also make windshields as well as roofs with stereo systems.

I have always had radio/CD players and overhead speakers - now I go with a good quality wireless speaker and play Pandera on my phone - works awesome and a lot less expensive

How much sound you need? 2 speaker with the small alpine glove box amp will,get you there. Place them at the front and aim back.

I have a 2011 Ranger 800 XP. I went and purchased a Bluetooth speaker (Sony SRS-X2) and then went to Ace Hardware and purchased 2 Velcro straps. I strap it to the underside of the roll bar and its all the music I need when riding around the ranch. Plus its removable and doesn't have to be permanently affixed with drilling, etc.
