Features
Overview: The Boss MC470B weather-rated speaker and amplifier system is designed for motorcycles, scooters, and off-road vehicles, such as ATVs and side-by-sides. You can stream music from your smartphone via Bluetooth, or through an auxiliary input, and conveniently raise and lower the volume through a remote volume control. The system includes two pairs of 3" chrome speakers and a 1000-watt (total peak power), 4-channel Class D amplifier. Power, ground, and speaker wires are included.
Amplifier Inputs: The amp has two inputs: 3.5mm mini-jack and Bluetooth. Both inputs are live simultaneously, so if more than one is connected, selection must be made by turning the unused source off.
Speaker Mounting: The speakers are designed to mount to a round tube (0.75" to 1.25") using the adjustable stainless steel clamps. Rubber mounting shims are included for secure installation. Once the speakers are in place, but before the brackets are tightened, you can adjust the mounting angle. After mounting, the speakers can still swivel almost 360°.
Wiring: All the wiring is fixed length and already attached to the speakers and amplifier. Each speaker has a 48" speaker wire with a 2-pin Molex plug. The amplifier has four 21" speaker wires, 21" power/ground wires, and a 21" Auxiliary input cable with a female 3.5mm jack, all with 2-pin Molex plugs. A 75" cable with a rotary volume control is attached to the amplifier. The end of the cable can be mounted to a panel through a 0.27" diameter hole. A separate 18-gauge power/ground cable, with a 7.5A in-line fuse, is provided for powering the amplifier. It connects to the power/ground wire on the amplifier. To prevent draining the battery power, it is recommended that the power cable be connected to the battery and ignition system via a 12 VDC SPDT (single-pole, double throw) relay (not included).

The Boss system was purchased for my new 1100cc off road vehicle. It was easy to install, and the sound quality was much better than I expected. The bluetooth function makes it so easy to secure my phone and still play my music. It was a great purchase.
