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.

Product Usage Instructions

  4. Pre-drill the screw locations to prevent surface cracking or breaking screws.
  5. Mount the REVO V3 speaker using the stainless steel screws provided.

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.

Installation Specifications

Speaker Installation:

  1. We recommend checking if the mounting surface is flat with a square or level. Mounting to a curved surface will damage the product.
  2. Use the provided hole cut-out template to check fitment before cutting. Tape the surrounding surface before cutting to prevent damaging the surface.
  3. Predrill the screw locations to prevent the surface from cracking or breaking screws.
  4. Mount the REVO V3 speaker with the stainless steel screws provided.
  5. Connect the speakers to the amplifier or source unit with the waterproof connector provided. The red wire is positive, and the black wire is negative.

For removal and replacement of the tweeter:

  1. Remove the grille from the speaker basket. There are 3 screws around the back of the speaker basket holding the grille on.
  2. Unplug the tweeter wire from the plug that is fixed to the speaker basket. Free the tweeter wire and the RGB LED wire from the grille.
  3. Detach the tweeter by turning counterclockwise.
  4. Remove the crossover cover from the rear of the speaker magnet by depressing the 3 tabs on the back of the speaker. The RGB LED wires can then be removed.
  5. Insert the new tweeter in the socket and turn in a clockwise direction until the tabs lock in place.
  6. Route the tweeter and RGB LED wires through the slots on the underside of the grille.
  7. Plug the tweeter wire into the plug on the speaker basket.

RGB Wiring Instructions

Under tweeter RGB LED lighting instructions:

  1. Connect the RGB LED 4 wire harness BLACK wire to power (+12v) ensuring to add a fuse to your power for protection.

  3. Adding an LED controller like the Wet Sounds RF-RGB-MC V2 enables the display of thousands of color combinations, as well as light changing modes and the ability to change the lights with music – all controllable via a handheld wireless remote.
