Know before you buy
An IPX7 rating means these speakers are fully waterproof and can withstand immersion in water up to one meter deep for 30 minutes. They are specifically engineered to resist damage from salt spray, heavy rain, and direct splashes common in marine environments.
With an RMS power rating of 35 watts, these speakers can be driven by most marine head units. However, adding an external amplifier will provide cleaner, more consistent power, which helps prevent distortion at higher volumes.
These speakers require a 5-inch cut-out diameter and a mounting depth of 2.25 inches. We recommend measuring your current openings before purchase to ensure a proper fit.
Yes, the package includes both silver and white grille covers. You can choose the color that best matches your boat's interior aesthetic during the installation process.
The silk dome tweeter is designed to produce smooth, clear high-frequency sounds without the harshness sometimes found in metallic tweeters. This results in a more balanced and natural audio profile, especially at higher volumes.
