Don't blow your speakers out!
on November 26, 2025
Posted by: Sharpie
First let me start by saying the sound of the bar is amazing. The downfall is that it can very easily blow speakers out. i'm not sure if it's the actual speakers that are blowing or the passive radiators but they really need to come out with an equalizer or some type of update to fix the problem.

Sweet, Portable Powered Boom Box

I’ve used JBL components for several decades. I was looking for a powered system for my Honda Talon and it fits perfectly on the center roll cage bar. The lights are sweet and the quality of the sound AMAZING. And, I got a great deal from the Parts Guy at the Honda Shop. If I ever get another RV or Boat it’s portability will allow easy transitions.

Great Sound but remote power issues
on February 12, 2025

from Florida
Just installed the Rallybar 35XL speaker, great sound. Problem is I have a rocker power switch to turn the unit on/off and leave the side power switch on the unit in the on position. When I turn the power rocker switch on I must also climb in the back seat and push the lighted power button to turn the unit on and out of sleep mode. What a nuisance this is. Is there a remote control available to turn the unit on without having to push the power button on the speaker? This appears to be a common complaint among your user base and you need to figure something out please.

Great Sound bar, but....

I just got the Rallybar XL a week ago hooked power to it to try it out and I will say that I was nothing but amazed by how good this thing sounded. I give the sound quality 5 stars. I installed it on my new side X side. It took a bit to figure it out as the instructions are very lacking. Several included items had no instructions what they were for, but I was able to figure it out eventually. Instructions I will give 1 star. Now for my biggest complaint. When listening, the audio will occasionally drop out. Not sure what is causing this but it is very annoying. I have several other Bluetooth devices and this is the only one that does this. Seems to be worse when the SXS is off or at idle. I have done voltage checks and when off I get 12.5 volts and 14.9 when running both at idle and at speed. I had bought an exogear but took it back because of it's poor sound. I love the great sound the Rallybar XL has, but it has a problem. It also would be nice if it had a FM tuner built in.

We appreciate your feedback. We're here to help. Bluetooth, in a perfect environment, will perform well for up to 30 feet. However, walls, obstacles, and other wireless devices can impede that 30-foot range. If it works well at 10 feet or less, it is likely that there is something interfering with your wireless Bluetooth signal, causing these dropouts. Another possibility is that sometimes a Bluetooth connection can become corrupt. Please forget/unpair the speaker on your device and perform manual pairing. If this doesn’t solve the issue. Try to connect the speaker to a different device to see if it fixes the problem.
If the issue is still not resolved, the last thing to try is a reset.
To restore the factory settings, Press + and Play buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds. For further assistance, please contact us.

I bought this speaker a week ago. I am very disappointed in the bass performance. My JBL boombox 2 sounds way better

Great speaker, but dropped the ball!!

Bought this soundbar and installed in SxS back seat facing forward. Product is good quality and great sound for what it is. Love the speaker. But when it comes to the most simple act of turning it on, not only is there a rocker power switch to power the unit on. But you also have to push a second power button everytime you want to turn it on. It would have been nice to simply have controlled by a single rocker switch, so the speaker can be turned on but accessory key power. Quite redundant to have 2 power buttons if say so.
