Product Information
The REVO V3 Coaxial Speakers by Wet SoundsTM are high-performance, element- proof speaker systems designed for marine or off-road audio systems. These speakers are available in two sizes, 6.5 and 8, and come with nine different grille designs. They are built with Nylas baskets, a composite mix of nylon and fiberglass, which provides improved stability and strength. The speakers also feature a Conex spider for enhanced performance and durability. Each speaker is equipped with a 1 titanium dome tweeter mounted on the grille, ensuring the mid-woofer is sealed to eliminate water intrusion. The tweeter also includes RGB LED lighting, allowing for a wide variety of colors to be displayed on the cone.

Congratulations!
Thank you for choosing this Wet Sounds™ product!
Wet Sounds’ products embody the ultimate in high performance standards. The
REVO Series is a high performance, element-proof speaker system designed to
provide great reproduction for your marine or off-road audio system. The REVO
Series is available in 6.5” or 8” sizes. Nine different grille designs are
available.
The REVO Series speakers are built with Nylas baskets, which is a composite mix of nylon and fiberglass providing improved stability and strength over conventional materials used in most marine speakers. Wet Sounds now uses a Conex spider for better performance while maintaining its durability. Both REVO Series speakers are equipped with a 1” titanium dome tweeter. The tweeter is mounted on the grille, which keeps the mid-woofer sealed, eliminating any chance of water intrusion through the pole piece as common on many marine coaxial speaker systems. RGB LED lighting is included on the underside of the tweeter for a wide variety of colors to be viewed on the cone.
