The SLGV2 Series: Transforming Slingshot Audio

DS18's vision for Polaris Slingshot audio

DS18 isn’t here to just add a couple lights to your Slingshot — we’re here to redefine what an audio upgrade feels like. We know your ride deserves more than the basic factory setup. That’s why we built the SLGV2 Series: to give Slingshot owners the ultimate sound experience — one that fuses stunning aesthetics, unmatched engineering, and professional grade audio output.

Key innovations in the SLGV2 product line

The SLGV2 Series is a complete overhaul of the Slingshot’s audio experience. When combined, this family of products is designed to offer Slingshot owners the ULTIMATE audio setup.

With the SLGV2, there’s no need to worry about your sound system—rain or shine, your music keeps playing strong and clear, giving you the freedom to take your Slingshot wherever the road leads.

With integrated, customizable LED lighting, the SLGV2 Series takes your presentation to the next level. These Digital LEDs sync up with your music to create a show-stopping visual experience, turning every ride into a head-banging event, day or night. The SLGV2 Series guarantees you’ll stand out for all the right reasons.

Compatibility across Slingshot models

The SLGV2 Series was built to be the perfect match for every Polaris Slingshot model from 2015 and up. Each piece was engineered with precision to blend seamlessly into your ride’s existing design, keeping the sleek factory look intact while boosting your sound to the next level. No awkward gaps, no clunky add-ons—just a flawless fit that feels like it was made for your Slingshot from day one.

SLG-WFCC66 and SLG-FKP6V2: The Ultimate Front Stage

Waterfall console and kick panel integration

The SLG-WFCC66 Waterfall Center Console Pod and SLG-FKP6V2 Front Kick Panel Pods are crafted to fit your ride perfectly, blending into your Slingshot’s design as if they were built by the factory itself.

The SLG-WFCC66 Waterfall Console Pod is designed specifically for all Slingshot models from 2015 onward. With a black textured finish and OEM-like fitment, it keeps that clean, factory-finished appearance while packing an audio punch when loaded.

The SLG-FKP6V2 Front Kick Panel Pods are just as slick. Sold as a set for both driver and passenger sides, these pods slip right into your Slingshot’s kick panels, using the existing factory bolts for a no-hassle install. This addition gives your front stage that much-needed audio boost. Plus, their waterproof construction and integrated LED lighting mean these pods will make your Slingshot stand out forever.

Impact on driver and passenger experience

The strategic placement of these upgrades is key. The SLG-WFCC66 Waterfall Console Pod centers your audio experience, making it feel like the music is coming from everywhere at once. Meanwhile, the SLG-FKP6V2 Front Kick Panel Pods pump out high-fidelity sound right from the front, giving both driver and passenger an immersive audio blast that cuts through wind and engine noise with ease.

And don’t forget the Digital LED lighting. Both pods feature customizable LEDs that add an extra dimension to your ride, lighting up the night and turning your Slingshot into a rolling showpiece.

Speaker and tweeter configurations

We’ve engineered every aspect of the SLGV2 Series to deliver the kind of full-bodied, high-impact sound that turns heads at any venue.

For the SLG-WFCC66 Waterfall Console Pod, we chose to mount two 6.5” DS18 speakers and two 2.28” Super Bullet Tweeters front and center. This setup anchors the heart of your soundstage, with crystal-clear mids that hit you square in the chest and crisp tweeters that slice through every engine roar.

And if you want to supercharge the experience, our SLG-FKP6V2 Kick Panel Pods are positioned to bring the fight forward. Each pod houses one 6.5” speaker and one 3.8” Bullet Tweeter, strategically placed low and wide in the front panels to create an enveloping, three-dimensional sound that makes you feel like you’re in the front row of a live show. This positioning ensures that no detail is lost— even when you’re pushing 80 mph with the throttle pinned.

Surround Yourself With Sound: SLG-HD6V2 and SLG-AR6V2

Headrest and armrest pod designs

We took audio upgrades for the Polaris Slingshot to a whole new level with our SLG-HD6V2 Headrest Pods and SLG-AR6V2 Armrest Enclosures.

The SLG-HD6V2 Headrest Pods are the ultimate game-changer. They can fit up to two 6.5” DS18 speakers on each side, wrapping both driver and passenger in a powerful, immersive soundstage. The open baffle speaker pod design lets sound waves flow freely, creating a 360-degree audio experience that hits from every angle.

The SLG-AR6V2 Armrest Enclosures are the perfect match for these headrest pods. Tailored to hold one 6.5” speaker per side, these armrest pods deliver crystal-clear highs and mids while boosting your overall volume and sound clarity. Designed to fit seamlessly into your Slingshot using OEM bolts and locations, they don’t just perform—they belong. Combined, the headrest and armrest pods create a cohesive experience that gives your Slingshot booming audio depth and intensity.

Customization options with LED lighting

The SLG-HD6V2 Headrest Pods feature ALL-NEW digital LED lights that take your ride’s style to a whole new level, making your Slingshot pop at any event or meet-up. The SLG-AR6V2 Armrest Enclosures are no different—these dreamy LEDs are designed to bring your audio setup to life with vibrant colors and dynamic patterns.

To truly unlock the potential of these LED features, we recommend pairing them with our LED-BTCDRM Bluetooth Controller. This lets you take complete control of your Slingshot’s lighting from your phone. Sync the lights to the beat of your music, switch up colors on the fly, or set a soft, glowing ambiance for nighttime drives. You want your Slingshot to be a showstopper? This is how you make it happen.

Sound quality and directionality improvements

The strategic placement of these audio upgrades has a significant impact on sound quality and directionality. The SLG-HD6V2 headrest pods offer the flexibility to customize your baffle's design for front, rear, or multi-facing orientations. With the included removable blank, you can position your speakers either front-facing or rear-facing. Remove the blank, and you can install two speakers in each pod for multi-facing configurations, creating a 360-degree sound experience.

Installation and Customization: User Friendly Upgrades
