So, you want to upgrade the sound system on your boat and you’re wondering about the best waterproof marine speakers? In this article we will examine things to consider when buying the best waterproof marine speakers.
When buying the best waterproof marine speakers, size is always a consideration. You need to make sure you have sufficient space for whatever speaker models you opt to buy for your boat.
Remember that there are no standard speaker sizes. The manufacturer will publish a measurement of the speaker size, but it is really only the diameter of the inside cone. It does not reflect the grill or the cutout hole. You’ll want to consider this when picking a speaker size to replace existing marine speakers because you want them to fit.
When picking a pair of waterproof speakers for a new installation, it’s a clever idea to invest in a big speaker. The grill will be lager then the cone so always make sure you have adequate space to fit the specs. If you have a 6” speaker then it might have a 7.5” grill diameter so be sure to plan accordingly so you ensure that whatever set of speakers and size you buy will fit.
Some people enjoy flush mount speakers, but you’ll want to ensure that there is sufficient space behind the speaker for the cone and magnet. Look at the mounting depth measurements when making the purchase or ordering. Also, remember that the best waterproof flush mount speakers will require enclosed airspace in order to function properly and provide the best sound. If the speaker’s magnets are hanging out then the sound will seem weak and tinny.
If you want a pair of waterproof flush mount speakers then you might want to invest in box speakers instead. They require less space and are easy to mount up high for optimum sound quality. They are enclosed in a box for added safety.
Yes, power is a consideration. Remember, different manufactures measure power in diverse ways. Most stereo heads can manage 200 watts of peak power. However, if you are unsure then you’ll need to contact the manufacturer or discuss the situation with a qualified stereo installation technician.
Once you have decided on the size of speakers and the power then you’ll want to consider the quality to determinant he best waterproof marine speakers for your boat.
