CAUTION
Always consider consulting a professional audio installer before installing new speakers. Many manufacturers locate speakers behind interior panels that require special tools to remove. Be careful and take your time. If you are using the speaker wire supplied with your new speakers make sure that you run the speaker wires only through safe areas. Do not let speaker wire make contact with metal edges or hot engine components.
SPEAKER DIMENSIONS
BEFORE YOU START
It’s a good idea to confirm that you have purchased the correct size speakers to fit your application. If you have any reservations about being able to complete the installation yourself, we recommend contacting a professional.
SPEAKER MOUNTING LOCATION
Choose a Suitable mounting location
If you are replacing an older or inferior speaker, the location is chosen for you. Make sure the speaker fits properly in the hole for the old speaker.
If you are creating your own new location, you must be careful to verify that there is sufficient depth to mount the speaker.
WIRING
Route Signal
Carefully select a route for the speaker wires. If using existing speaker wires, confirm that the wire is in good shape and not shorted.
SPEAKER INSTALLATION
Confirm Fit And Mount Speaker
Once you are sure the speaker fits and has adequate clearance, connect the positive and negative wires to the proper terminals. Securely screw the speaker into place.

FAQs
For marine applications, you need a speaker system that sounds well at high volume. Consider making an investment in speakers for ships that have superior sensitivity, durability, and power handling.
Two-way, or coaxial, speakers contain a second tweeter located inside the woofer in order to handle the high frequencies and accurately recreate the sound range of your music. Three-way, or triaxial, speakers combine a midrange driver with a separate woofer and tweeter for increased depth and realism.
Amplification is a common feature of marine stereos, some of which are very potent. It is definitely possible to produce good sound without an external amplifier. The majority of the time, you can test your stereo without an amplifier first because you can almost always install one later.
The speakers that are best suited for usage in water are known as marine speakers. They are frequently water-resistant in addition to being more robust. The various exposures to moisture, climate, and weather are what marine speakers are made to withstand.
Marine surroundings can withstand products that are Marine Rated or Marine Grade. Marine grade parts can be exposed to rain, wind, and the sun (although not necessarily submersion). When a little water is splashed on them, they won’t burn because they can survive high ambient temperatures.
Speakers called “marine” are designed specifically for use aboard boats. They will withstand the elements thanks to careful testing.
Sea speakers are built with sturdy materials to ensure their durability in the more demanding marine environment. They are comprised of special plastic and stainless steel components to endure the elements and to withstand unexpected temperature changes.
Two-way, or coaxial, speakers contain a second tweeter located inside the woofer in order to handle the high frequencies and accurately recreate the sound range of your music. Three-way, or triaxial, speakers combine a midrange driver with a separate woofer and tweeter for increased depth and realism.
You should always install your full range speakers as high as possible for the best sound quality. Do not mount them underneath seats or close to your feet. On larger vessels and other places where it is feasible, you should consider putting speakers over your head. Subwoofers, on the other hand, are the complete opposite.
The marine audio system, which is used to play music on boats, consists of a number of speakers, amplifiers, and other gadgets.
Between 80 Hz and 20 kHz, the marine speaker produces a strong full-range sound and has acceptable bass performance.
The majority of marine speakers are highly durable and strong. Make sure the speakers you buy are of excellent quality, resistant to rust and corrosion, and well-built. Look for speakers with plastic cones, such as those with polypropylene and neoprene rubber surrounds, for effective weather protection.
A battery may be charged from empty to fully charged in around 4 hours.
