Installation
The SSV Works WP3-UO4LA system is designed for overhead mounting in UTVs. Installation typically takes approximately 15 minutes with basic tools.

An overhead view of the SSV Works WP3-UO4LA Universal 4 Speaker Overhead Stereo System. The unit features four 6.5-inch marine-grade speakers, two on each side, flanking a central control panel. The control panel includes a digital display for audio functions and buttons for operation. Below the main display, there is an integrated light bar. The entire unit is housed in a black, textured fiberglass enclosure designed for overhead mounting in UTVs.
Mounting
- The system is compatible with roll cages ranging from 51 to 58.75 inches in width.
- The mounting brackets are adjustable and slide along the back of the sound bar, allowing for flexible positioning (front, overhead, or rear) within the roll cage.
- Securely attach the unit to the vehicle's roll cage using the provided stainless steel mounting hardware. Ensure all screws are tightened to prevent vibration. Applying thread-locking compound (e.g., Loctite) to screws is recommended to prevent loosening due to vehicle vibration.
Wiring
- The system requires a simple 2-wire hookup. Connect the positive (+) wire to a switched 12V power source and the negative (-) wire to a reliable ground point on the vehicle chassis.
- For optimal performance and to prevent Bluetooth disconnection issues when the ignition is turned off, it is recommended to connect the power directly to the battery with an inline fuse, or to a constant 12V source via a separate switch.
- The built-in 200-watt 4-channel amplifier powers the four 6.5-inch marine-grade speakers. The front two channels are internally configured for the soundbar speakers. The rear two channels are available for powering up to four additional 4-ohm speakers if wired correctly.
- An optional RCA low-level output is available for system expansion (requires WP-HRCA adapter, sold separately).
Operation
Bluetooth Pairing
- Power on the stereo system.
- Navigate to the Bluetooth mode on the system's display.
- On your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device, search for available Bluetooth devices.
- Select "SSV Works" (or similar name displayed on the unit) from the list to pair.
- Once paired, you can stream audio from your device, including music streaming apps like Pandora, Spotify, and SoundCloud.
AM/FM Radio
- Switch the system to AM/FM radio mode.
- Use the controls on the unit to scan for stations or manually tune to a desired frequency.
- The system includes an internal FM antenna for local radio reception.
External Audio Output
- If using the optional RCA low-level output, connect it to an external amplifier or additional speakers as per the WP-HRCA adapter instructions.
Maintenance
The WP3-UO4LA features a durable fiberglass construction and a weatherproof design, allowing it to withstand various environmental conditions.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or components.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting hardware and wiring connections to ensure they remain secure, especially after off-road use.
- Storage: If storing the vehicle for an extended period, ensure the stereo system is powered off.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to the unit | Loose wiring connection, blown fuse, incorrect power source. | Check all power and ground connections. Inspect the fuse in the wiring harness and replace if necessary. Ensure the power source is providing 12V. |
| Bluetooth disconnects frequently | Power source issues (e.g., connected to a keyed ignition that cuts power), interference. | Connect the unit directly to the battery with an inline fuse, or to a constant 12V source via a separate switch. Ensure your device is within range and there are no major sources of interference. |
| Poor radio reception | Weak signal, environmental factors. | The system uses an internal FM antenna. Reception quality can vary based on location and terrain. Try moving to an area with better signal. |
| Unit vibrates or rattles | Loose mounting hardware, internal components rattling. | Tighten all mounting screws. Consider using thread-locking compound. If internal rattling occurs, contact SSV Works support. |
| No sound from speakers | Volume too low, incorrect source selected, speaker wiring issue. | Increase volume. Verify the correct audio source (Bluetooth, AM/FM) is selected. Check speaker connections if accessible. |
