Know before you buy
Yes. These tweeters are Element Ready™ and feature an IPX6 water intrusion rating, meaning they are specifically engineered to withstand harsh marine environments, including direct water exposure and corrosion.
The 18dB/octave audiophile-grade crossover protects the tweeters by filtering out low-frequency signals that could cause distortion or damage. This ensures the tweeters only handle the high frequencies they are designed for, resulting in cleaner, more reliable sound.
While these tweeters can handle up to 200 Watts RMS, they are designed to be added to an existing audio system. You should ensure your current amplifier or head unit has enough power and an available channel to support them, or consider adding a dedicated amplifier if your system is already at its limit.
The flush mount bezel allows for a sleek, low-profile installation that sits level with your mounting surface. The horn mount bezel is designed to project sound more directly, which is useful in open-air environments where you need to overcome wind and engine noise.
These tweeters require a mounting depth of 1.44 inches. Before purchasing, measure your intended mounting location to ensure you have enough clearance behind the panel for the tweeter housing and wiring.
