Being able to enjoy music while cruising in your ATV is ideal. While you can find just any system to help you with accomplishing this goal, if you do that, it probably won't last long. You want a quality system that is designed to be easily functional and be able to withstand the rigors of an ATV. Here are just some of the more important qualities you want to look for while on your search.

Water Resistance

Ensure the audio system is water-resistant. With an ATV, you don't have the luxury of a roof. It doesn't matter if you want to take a ride in light rain or you forget to put the vehicle away in the garage; you don't have to worry about a little water causing damage to your system.

If you choose a non-water-resistant unit, you will have to make an extra effort to remove the audio system after each ride to ensure it's protected.

Dust Resistant

As you ride, a fair amount of dust, dirt, and other debris will fly all over the place, including the space around the audio system. Make sure it is also dust resistant. With some units, if even a small amount of dust gets inside, it will cause internal damage that will keep it from working.

This isn't the case with a dust resistant unit. While this isn't to say you shouldn't at least try to keep the unit clean, at least you can have the confidence in knowing that even if a little dust or dirt gets inside this won't be the end of the world.

Easy Installation

Even if you have a water-resistant and dust-resistant unit, there are still going to be some environments in which you simply shouldn't take the audio system along. Select a unit that you can easily remove and re-install for these occasions.

You don't want to be stuck with an option that is difficult to maneuver. There are some systems that use somewhat of a snap function to secure into place. These systems are ideal because they are secure, yet they are easy to maneuver.

To get the most use out of your ATV audio system, it's important that you take your time and search. There are a number of options out there that simply won't last and will be more of a hassle than anything to own. Take your time and choose wisely.
