Any speaker will perform to its best capabilities, when correctly placed in the listening area. FUSION Engineers recognize that unlike a home or motor vehicles installation, there are an extremely wide range of marine environments where speakers may be placed. FUSION Marine Speakers are optimized to perform in the widest possible range of mounting locations, but a little thought and care with placement will always be rewarded with better sound.

  • High frequencies are directional. Placing the speakers low down in the boar will lose some of this information.
  • Speakers should be placed to simulate “sound stage”, by being placed where you are able to hear both speakers in a stereo situation.

FAQs

Do you need an amp for Fusion MS-OS420 marine speakers?

However, there are a few things to think about first. A boat’s wiring will probably be significantly different from your car’s.

What is the difference in marine speakers and car speakers?

Unlike a car speaker, a marine speaker is made to project and spread sound across a larger area. As they are made to transmit music in a tiny, confined automotive space, ordinary car speakers may not be able to project sound across a larger path.

A set of speakers, amplifiers, and other devices are part of the marine audio system, which is used to play music on boats. It is typically installed in the cockpit or cabin.
