Golf Cart Soundbar Buyers Guide
Before you settle on the right soundbar for your golf cart, you need to know what you’re looking at in a prospective device. Our buyer’s guide will unpack the technical specifications of these devices to help you understand what you’re looking at when assessing a soundbar.
If you don’t know the first thing about what to look for in a soundbar, this guide will help you with your decision on the right equipment for your cart.
What Do I Look for in a Golf Cart Soundbar?
So, what are the top features to look for in a soundbar? We recommend you assess the following elements of the device to ensure you’re getting the right model to match your needs and expectations.
Waterproofing & Weatherproofing Rating
Soundbars sit under the roof of your vehicle on the rollbar. Some of them mount directly into the ceiling. Wither away, you’ll need a soundbar offering your weather and water protection for the device.
Since it’s out in the open, there’s no telling when a gust could blow rain under the roof and onto the device. So, it’s crucial to look for models offering you a minimum of IP44 or IPX5 ratings.
These ratings mean that the device is waterproof and dust resistant, ensuring you don’t have the unit packing up on you when the rain gets to it.
Battery-Powered or Wired Operation?
Soundbars come with two power options. Some models require hardwiring into your cart’s electrical system, or they connect to it with a 12-volt charger. Other models feature onboard recharge battery packs.
Wired systems are the best option, as you never have to worry about the battery running out on you. However, they require professional installation, or you might end up harming yourself or the device. Systems with onboard batteries are a great option as well, but there is more chance of it failing on you during your outing.
Soundbar Power Output
Soundbars come in a range of speaker models and outputs. We have something in this review to suit your style. Whether you’re looking for a party speaker or a refined unit for classical music, there’s something in our review to suit your music taste.
If you’re looking for power and performance from your system, you need to focus on the wattage output from the speakers.
Speakers come with “peak” and RMS” outputs. The RMS value is the more accurate measurement of the speaker’s performance.
High-performance soundbars will offer you, speakers with a minimum 0of 200-watts RMS, and the peak will likely be double this number.
Sound Quality – Clarity, Bass, and Performance
It’s easy for you to confuse the peak output of the speaker with its performance and clarity. However, it’s not an accurate depiction of the speaker’s user experience.
Some speakers focus on bass, while others focus on clarity in the listening experience. We recommend reading through speaker reviews to assess user performance before settling on your preferred soundbar model.
The last thing you want is to purchase a speaker and find that it doesn’t offer you the performance you expect.
If you’re into partying and electronic music, you’re going to look for a unit offering you a bass-heavy listening experience. If you’re into classical music, you need a system with less bass and more mid-range.
Amplifier Speakers & Drivers
Most soundbars come with built-in amplifiers. This means that you don’t have to connect the speaker to an external amplifier. The amp drives the speakers, drawing current from the battery in the speaker housing.
We recommend looking for speakers with titanium cones and high-quality tweeter domes. The drivers and speakers define the listening experience, and you need high-quality components if you want the best output from your soundbar.
Bluetooth Connectivity
Bluetooth is a must-have feature on your speaker. Without Bluetooth functionality, you’ll have to connect your device to the speaker using a 3.5-mm aux jack. Bluetooth connectivity allows you to pair the speaker with your mobile device.
You operate the speaker from your phone or tablet, playing music through the speaker. Some models come with dedicated apps that download to iOS and Android devices. You can control the performance of the speaker directly through the app. Change the volume, track, or play with the RGB lighting wirelessly through your device.
Daisy-Chaining and Concert Mode
Some soundbars allow you to daisy-chain units in the same model range. If your friend has a soundbar on their cart and they love it, it might be worth buying the same model they have.
You can interface the two speakers using Bluetooth or a dedicated app. This “daisy-chain” allows you to play back the same song in sync, enhancing the entertainment experience.
RGB Lighting Modes
Some of the top part-style soundbars in our review come with RGB lighting systems. These units offer lighting that changes color, with options for three to five different colors on the spectrum.
RGB lighting also comes with different functionality, giving you the option to set it to a “breathe” or “pulse” function, and you also get settings that track the beat of the music.
The RGB lighting is a great way to bring more life to the party when you’re out with friends at night. Typically, these systems integrate with dedicated apps that let you control the lighting from your phone or remote control.
Remote Control
Look for soundbars offering you a remote control for the unit. The remote control lets you toggle the track and soundbar setting without using the dedicated unit on the soundbar. However, as mentioned, many of the modern units come with dedicated apps for the system that replace the need for a remote.
However, if you don’t get an app with the speaker, make sure the manufacturer includes the remote. Most remotes and apps will work at distances of up to 30-feet away from the unit.
Park your golf cart at the venue, turn on the music, and mingle with your friends. The remote lets you manage the system while you have a good time.
Easy Fitment
Your soundbar should feature a fast and user-friendly setup for your golf cart. Most speakers connect to the roll bar on your cart using clips. You can adjust the clip to the thickness of the roll bar for a secure fit.
However, some models come with mounting kits that require you to permanently fix them into the cart’s roof. Typically, these models require professional fitment, or you might end up ruining the roof if you don’t know what you’re doing around power tools.
Golf Cart Soundbar FAQs
Q: How do I install my soundbar to my golf cart?
A: Most soundbars come with an easy setup on your golf cart. They usually have clips that attach to the roll bar on the cart, or they come with mounting kits that install directly into the cart’s roof. In most cases, you can get away with a DIY installation. However, if the installation involves connecting the speaker to the cart’s electrical system, it’s probably a good idea to source the help of a professional installer.
Q: How do I maintain my golf cart soundbar?
A: Your soundbar should feature IPX or IP waterproofing and weather-resistant ratings. Soundbars with these ratings have an enclosed body, preventing dust or water from entering the housing and damaging the circuitry. Cleaning and maintaining your soundbar is very easy. Give it a light wipe with a damp cloth from time to time to keep it looking in great shape. If you have an IP66 or IPX5 or greater rating on your soundbar, you can wash it with a hose or pressure washer without damaging the unit.
Q: What is a Dolby Atmos soundbar? Is it suitable for my golf cart?
A: Dolby Atmos is a cinematic speaker experience designed to improve the home theatre experience. It will not make any difference to golf cart soundbars that only play music. Dolby Atmos is an expensive feature found on the top-rated 5.1 and 7.7-channel soundbar systems, but you don’t need it for your golf cart. Save your money or spend the extra on upgrading your system instead of Dolby Atmos.
Q: Where can I buy the best Golf Cart Bluetooth Soundbar?
A: We recommend buying your golf cart soundbar from Amazon. Never purchase electrical equipment from any retailer that isn’t a reputable, recognized dealer. Amazon offers you the best buyer protection on your order, and if there’s anything wrong with your product, you can send it back for free replacement or refund. Prime members get fast, free shipping to their door, and Amazon has the best product range and prices in the industry.
