TOP 5 GOLF CART BLUETOOTH SOUNDBARS OF 2021

No golf cart should be driven without a good soundbar. That’s Golf Carting 101. Trying to find the perfect soundbar for your golf cart can be challenging because there is a lot out there.

We’ve scoured the marketplace, tried out dozens of soundbars, talked to industry experts, all to come up with our updated 2021 list of top soundbars. You are welcome.

But before the list, here’s how we chose the top 5 list…

One of the key considerations in choosing a golf cart soundbar is the fact it will be exposed to the elements. Let’s look at three critical factors you should consider when you are thinking of purchasing a soundbar for your custom golf cart. • Look for dust-proof and waterproof rating (IPXX) • Test the performance of the soundbar in different frequency ranges • Is it a price you can live with?

If the soundbar doesn’t have a rating and does not allow for multiple frequency ranges, don’t buy it. We’ve done the research and selected 5 Top Picks for 2021. This is certainly not an exhaustive list so don’t send us hate mail. But these are certainly all soundbars that should do very well for you.

The next soundbar on our shortlist is another fine MTX offering, the MTX MUDSYS41. It looks a little rough around the edges but don’t let looks fool you here. This box delivers amazing sound and can stand up to just about anything Mother Nature throws at it. These MUDSYS41’s is popular for a reason. They are easy to mount, durable, and have a legion of loyal supporters. The MTX MUDSYS41 gives you all the features you need that include USB, AUX, Bluetooth, AM/FM and house 4, six-and-a-half-inch speakers married to a 280-watt amp.

The MTX MUDSYS41 provides flexible installation options for cart cages between 43 and 49.5 inches.

The MTX MUD6SPBT golf cart sound bar gives you high-quality sound and proven weatherproofed durability. It is a workhorse that delivers.

Equipped with a 6-speaker sound system, the MTX MUD6 has four speakers that are 3-inch drivers and two speakers that are 1-inch tweeters. They all run off of a 200-watt amp, so you are going to get plenty of quality sound output.

There are a lot of bells and whistles that come equipped with the MTX MUD6, including Bluetooth so you can connect to other devices. You can connect external sub woofers too with the 3.5mm output. And why wouldn’t you?

The MTX MUD6 is delivered with easy-to-install mounting clamps. My 7-year-old could install it without a problem.

Installation is a big deal for a lot of people. We wanted to factor in sound bar systems that provide for relatively profanity-free installations.
