FAQs
What should I look for in a marine stereo?
A high-quality marine stereo will have a peak power output of 40 to 60 watts per channel. Since most stereos have four channels, you should expect a peak power output of between 160 and 240 watts overall. This amounts to an RMS constant power per channel range of roughly 15 to 25 watts.
Do you need an amp for marine speakers?
The majority of maritime stereos come equipped with an amplifier, some of which are very powerful. Without an external amplifier, good sound is definitely feasible. Almost always, you can add an amplifier later, therefore I advise most people to test their stereo without one first.
How do I choose a marine speaker amp?
To complement the amp, look for speakers with a top RMS rating of at least 50 watts RMS. Look for an amp that offers at least 75 watts RMS per channel if you have a larger boat or simply enjoy loud music.
What wire is best for marine use?
Tinned wire (right) is better able to withstand corrosion, both at terminals and in capillary action along the wire. Untinned copper wire (left) is used in boats with satisfactory results.
What are marine speakers made of?
Heavy-duty materials are used to construct marine speakers to ensure their durability in the more challenging marine environment. They are made of stainless steel components to endure unexpected temperature changes and are made of special plastic to withstand the elements.
What is a two way marine speaker?
In order to handle the high frequencies and accurately reproduce the sound spectrum of your music, two-way, or coaxial, speakers have a separate tweeter housed inside the woofer. For added fullness and realism, three-way, or triaxial, speakers combine a midrange driver with a separate woofer and tweeter.
How long do marine speakers last?
Marine speakers are made specifically for use on boats. Thorough testing guarantees that they will withstand the elements.
What are marine speakers used for?
A series of speakers, amplifiers, and other devices form part of the marine audio system, which is used to play music on boats. It is typically installed in the cockpit or cabin.
Can marine speakers get wet?
Products that are Marine Grade or Marine Rated can endure marine environments. Marine grade components can be exposed to the sun and wind as well as moisture (although not necessarily submersion). They can withstand high ambient temperatures and won’t burn if a little water is splashed on them.
Will marine speakers work in car?
You can definitely install marine speakers in your car. Because the quality can be so much better and the music so much louder, doing this is actually incredibly enjoyable. However, there are a few things to think about first. A boat’s wiring will probably be significantly different from your car’s.
What makes a good marine speaker?
Most marine speakers are incredibly long-lasting and sturdy. Make sure the speakers you are purchasing are high-quality, rust- and corrosion-resistant, and have a sturdy construction. For good weather protection, look for speakers with plastic cones, such as those with polypropylene and neoprene rubber surrounds.
Do I really need marine speakers?
Frequently, people ask us if our vehicle speakers function on a boat. Although the answer is correct in theory, we always advise purchasing genuine marine grade speakers for a variety of reasons. JL Audio marine products are first and foremost made to withstand the moisture and UV rays found in a marine environment.
Do you need an amp to run marine speakers?
You will need an amp to power your high-powered marine audio system with any good marine audio system. You will have all the power necessary to operate even the most powerful marine system with the Hydra Series Amplifiers.
Will marine speakers work with no amp?
The majority of marine stereos come equipped with an amplifier, some of which are surprisingly powerful. Without an external amplifier, good sound is definitely possible. Almost always, you can add an amplifier later, so I advise most people to test their stereo without one first.
