FAQs
The questions we get asked most, grouped so you can find yours fast. If it is not here, send us a message — we usually reply within 1–2 business days.
Before you buy
Will it fit my rig?
Every product page lists exact dimensions in millimetres, for both the receiver and battery versions where a model offers both. Sizes are rounded up to the next millimetre, so if it fits on paper it fits in the rig.
Measure the space you have, then take the loudest thing that goes in it. Find Your Speaker sorts the lineup by scale, power and space, and the fitment guide puts every model side by side in one table.
Receiver-powered or internal battery?
Receiver-powered plugs into your receiver box on a 110 mm cable. Nothing to charge, nothing extra to carry, and it is on whenever the rig is on.
Internal battery charges over USB-C, moves between rigs in seconds and never draws from your electronics.
One thing worth knowing: on The Overkill, stock electronics may struggle to drive it at full volume while you are also running the vehicle. If your rig is on stock gear, take the battery version.
Three models are receiver-powered only, with no battery option: The Single, The Micro Single and The Micro Double. The Mini and The Overkill for Hardline Bed are battery only.
Longer version in the receiver vs battery guide.
How loud is it?
Loud enough to hear over a running rig, and clean at volume rather than buzzy. More drivers and bigger drivers means more output.
At the small end, The Micro Single runs one 23 mm driver. At the other, The Overkill runs two 1-inch drivers plus a 52 mm. In between: The Single and The Mini one 1-inch, The Micro Double two 23 mm, The Double two 1-inch, The Super Single one 40 mm, The Supreme Single one 52 mm, The Quad four 1-inch.
The videos on the homepage and the product pages are straight off a phone, no processing.
Will the weight change how my rig drives?
Mostly no, and where you put it matters far more than what it weighs. The range runs from 25 g for The Micro Single to 165 g for a battery Overkill or Quad.
On a 2 kg crawler, 25 g is noise. 165 g mounted high on a roll cage is not, because it sits above your centre of gravity. Same speaker in the bed, low and centred, is barely noticeable.
The weight and handling guide works through it properly.
What comes in the box?
One ready-to-run speaker, built to the options you picked. Battery models include a USB-C charging cable. Every unit ships with the lifetime warranty and free US shipping.
Mounting hardware is not included — see the mounting question below for what people actually use.
The suede wrap is a $10 option on every model, chosen at checkout.
Setup and everyday use
How do I set it up and pair it?
Receiver-powered: plug the 110 mm cable into your RC's receiver box, power the rig on, then open Bluetooth on your phone and pick the speaker from the list.
Internal battery: charge it first over USB-C. A red light shows in the small hole while it charges and turns blue when it is full. Switch it on, then pair from your phone's Bluetooth list.
That is the whole setup. There is no app and nothing to configure.
How do I mount it?
Nothing is included in the box, because the right answer depends on where it is going. Almost everyone uses one of two things:
- Double-sided tape — VHB style automotive tape holds well and survives the rough stuff. Best if the speaker is staying put.
- Velcro — slightly less secure, but you can pull the speaker off and move it to another rig in seconds.
Where you mount it changes volume, Bluetooth range and handling. The mounting guide covers bed, roll cage, chassis and body, and the mistakes worth avoiding.
How long does the battery last?
- The Mini — 10+ hours
- The Double, Super Single, Supreme Single, Quad and Overkill, battery versions — up to 8 hours
- The Overkill for Hardline Bed — up to 5 hours
The Single, The Micro Single and The Micro Double are receiver-powered only. There is no battery to charge — they draw from your RC's main pack and run as long as the rig does.
What if it gets wet?
Splash and light rain are fine. Puddle spray, wet grass, a passing shower — none of that is a problem.
Do not submerge it, and keep it away from a pressure washer. The drivers are exposed by design, which is how they get their volume, so standing water is the one thing to keep them out of.
If one does go under, disconnect it or switch it off and let it dry out completely before you power it back up.
It keeps cutting out, or it won't pair
Cutting out on a battery model is almost always a flat battery. Plug it into USB-C and look for the red light.
Dropping out at distance is normal Bluetooth behaviour, not a fault. Expect around 30 feet with your phone in your pocket, and less if your body is between the phone and the rig. The range guide explains what causes dropouts and how to get more range.
Not showing up in the Bluetooth list usually means it is still connected to another phone. Disconnect it there first, or turn Bluetooth off on the other device.

Can I take it apart?
We would rather you didn't. Each one is hand-built and assembled with care, and taking it apart can void the warranty.
If something is wrong with it, get in touch instead — that is what the lifetime warranty is for.
Orders, shipping and returns
How long until my order ships?
Every speaker is hand-built to order, so allow 3 to 5 business days for us to build and pack it before it ships. Once it is on its way, US orders usually arrive within a few business days.
US shipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
Do you ship outside the US?
Canada, yes — $15 USD flat rate by Economy International, whatever the size of the order. It travels slower than a US order, and customs can add time we cannot predict or control.
Anywhere else, we are not set up to ship yet. Message us and we will tell you honestly whether we can work something out.
Can I return it?
Yes — 90 days from the day it arrives, and we pay the return shipping.
Message us first to start a return. Once it is approved we send you a return label and instructions. The speaker needs to come back unused and in its original packaging.
If something is wrong with it rather than just not right for you, the warranty below is the better route.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
Every unit, for as long as you own it. These ride on the outside of the rig and get treated like it — shocks, bumps, the rough stuff.
If one stops working, get in touch and we will fix it or replace it. We do ask that you send the original back, because taking a failed unit apart is how we work out what went wrong and build the next one better.
Still not sure?
Send us a message and we usually reply within 1 to 2 business days. Instagram DMs are faster still, and the easiest way to show us the rig you are trying to fit.
