Description

Marine 8 is a two-way loudspeaker with a 25mm (1-in) tweeter and a 150mm (6-in) polypropylene bass/midrange driver. It boasts an IP66 rating for incredible ruggedness when installed, and is the more compact of the Marine loudspeakers, fitting into a depth of 88mm (3.5-in) with a cut-out of 200mm (7.8-in).

Strength and power

Marine 8 is designed to survive almost anything, and its big 20cm mid/bass driver ensures a powerful, weighty sound.

Against The Elements: Whether it gets soaked, sprayed with salt-water or hosed down, Marine 8 is designed to keep on bringing you superb sound.

Built Tough To Sound Strong: With a marine-grade stainless steel chassis and grille, and polypropylene drivers, Marine 8 sounds great even in a storm.

Easy Installation: Whether on your boat or in your mud-plugging 4×4, a shallow 93mm mounting depth means Marine 8 fits in almost anywhere.

Passive speakers must be powered by an amplifier. A passive speaker has positive and negative inputs which must be connected to the output of the amplifier with 2-core speaker cable (4-core is required for dual input single stereo speakers).

These speakers are packaged and sold as a pair and cannot be purchased individually (with the exception of some active speaker models).

This icon indicates the size in inches of the speaker’s main drive unit(s). As a rule, larger drivers can produce lower frequencies for better bass response. They also typically have a higher maximum power handling.

Measured in ohms, impedance is the resistance or load that a speaker puts on an amplifier. When multiple speakers are connected to an amplifier channel in parallel (doubled up on the terminals) this actually has the effect of reducing the total resistance (1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 …). Most amplifiers are rated at 4-16 ohms, so care should be taken to stay within this range. If the total impedance in parallel is less than 4 ohms then the speakers should be wired in series.

Speakers with the Music icon are suitable for stereo music systems. Single mono speakers which are packaged individually and indicated by the ‘Single’ icon must be purchased in multiples of two when connecting to a stereo amplifier.

Outdoor speakers are weatherproof and designed to be installed outside all year round. They can also be used for damp indoor environments like bathrooms, wet rooms, saunas and swimming pools. Some models have an IP (Ingress Protection) rating which classifies their level of dust and moisture resistance. You can learn more about IP ratings in our blog on the subject.
