The 10 Best Marine Speakers | Boating Buying Guides and Review

This review has been updated 11 times since it was first published in February of 2019. No matter what you’re doing on the water, it’s important that all your equipment can stand up to the elements — especially anything that uses electricity. A durable set of marine-grade speakers is a must-have for any vessel’s stereo and/or PA system, so we’ve selected some of the best-sounding and most affordable on the market. When users buy our independently chosen editorial selections, we may earn commissions to help fund the review.

Top 10 Marine Speakers

10. Rockville RWB

Available in both 6.5- and 8-inch versions, the Rockville RWB attaches to a vessel’s wakeboard tower and puts out an impressive level of sound. It’s offered in either a white or black finish, though it is a bit larger than much of the competition.

9. Jensen MSX60RVR

Certified adherent to multiple ASTM standards regarding salt spray resistance and general waterproofing, the Jensen MSX60RVR is fully sealed and requires a mounting depth of less than 2.5 inches. It’s not the loudest around, but it is an affordable choice.

8. Rockford Fosgate RM1652

From a manufacturer known for high-fidelity products, the Rockford Fosgate RM1652 can handle an average of 75 watts, and are built of resilient materials. They promise to withstand the elements, including the sun’s rays and the salt and foam of the ocean.

7. Pyle PLMR52

If you need better sound but you’re on a tight budget, the Pyle PLMR52 are a good choice, as they’re among the least expensive you’ll find. They’re particularly great for mounting on the boat’s exterior to communicate with swimmers or skiers via a PA system.

6. Kenwood KFC-1653MRW

Thanks to dimensions of 5 inches wide and about 2.5 deep, the Kenwood KFC-1653MRW are relatively easy to install, and make good replacements for stock units. Their polypropylene cones can withstand regular exposure to saltwater and fog.

5. Kicker KM8

If you’re looking for a slightly larger pair with a fuller sound, the Kicker KM8 may be right for you. Each offers a 150-watt RMS rating as well as an exceptional low-end response, reaching as low as 30 hertz at a 4-ohm impedance.

4. Polk MM1

Tested and guaranteed to withstand the rigors of use on the water, the Polk MM1 utilize epoxy-coated crossovers and moisture-proof inner and outer surrounds to stay dry. With each one capable of a 300-watt peak, these can put out some serious volume.

3. Fusion FR6022

The Fusion FR6022 come with professional-quality tinned wire, a precise cutout template and three styles of grille for matching your vessel’s interior. They work great with OEM and aftermarket systems and are engineered to minimize interference with navigational equipment.

2. Rockville DWB65

In a durable fixed-pair configuration, the Rockville DWB65’s respectable 300-watt RMS rating allows you to crank it louder than many others. You can choose from black, white, and silver versions, and it adheres fully to the forward-looking CEA 2031 standards.

1. Pioneer TS-MR1640

An all-around high-performing pair, the Pioneer TS-MR1640 consist of 1-1/8-inch tweeters and 6.5-inch mid-range drivers that respond at frequencies as low as 30 hertz. They offer 30 watts of average power handling and are pretty durable, to boot.
