Congratulations!
Thank you for choosing this Wet SoundsTM product!
Wet Sounds is synonymous with live, loud, and clear audio solutions, built to
serve the needs of the marine and powersports enthusiast. The ZERO Series is a
first of its kind innovation for Wet Sounds, taking the legendary REV tower
speaker performance and re-imagining it for optimal use in more confined
spaces. The high output in small, sealed enclosures means ZERO Series allows
for ZERO compromises. These speakers can also be used with or without a twist-
lock grille, making them ideal for both custom and OEM replacement
applications. The ZERO Series speakers and subwoofers utilize materials such
as Nylas, a composite of nylon and fiberglass, providing improved stability
and superior strength versus conventional speaker materials. Please take a
moment to read the instruction manual before starting your installation. The
guide will explain the benefits of the technologies developed by Wet Sounds
and will help you understand the correct installation methods and use of this
product. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact a certified Wet
Sounds dealer. You may also contact Wet Sounds technical support by dialing
