Know before you buy
Yes, these are universal component tweeters. As long as your existing system can accommodate a 1-inch tweeter and you have the necessary space for the outboard high-pass filters, they can be integrated into most marine audio setups.
Yes, the outboard filters are essential for protecting the tweeters from low-frequency signals that could cause distortion or damage. They ensure the tweeters only receive the high-frequency audio they are designed to reproduce.
The included hardware supports both flush and surface mounting. However, for a secure, watertight seal in a marine environment, we recommend mounting them on a flat section of your boat's console or panel.
Silk dome tweeters are known for providing a smooth, detailed sound profile. While they excel at clarity, they are designed to cut through ambient noise effectively, ensuring your high frequencies remain crisp even when the boat is underway.
While they can run off a standard marine head unit, they handle up to 75W RMS. To get the best performance and clarity at higher volumes, pairing them with a dedicated marine amplifier is recommended.
Yes, the M6 series is specifically engineered for harsh marine conditions. They feature UV-resistant materials and corrosion-resistant construction to withstand prolonged exposure to salt spray and sun.
