Do not purchase! Terrible speakers. I bought 6 marine grade for 31 foot Formula boat. After 2 years Of hollow sounding speakers with no high end it was time to replace. A comparison with a similar speaker in dame price range was proof. Throw these away!!!

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Terrible sound

These so many speakers have been great for the extreme conditions. They are running in. They are mounted on my toy hauler on the outside walls so we're in the weather 24 hours a day 365 days a year sun rain, snow they have held up well, just starting to get some deterioration on the inside cones, so I am replacing them with another set

Guest from EL CAJON, CA on 7/7/2023

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Ok sound when new, unobtrusive grill, which is rare these days, but they are neither water-resistant nor UV resistant. Cone cracked from very minimal-maybe 100 hours, tops-of sun exposure and warped from incidental moisture (in a covered cockpit). Now it just buzzes.

Pros: Unobtrusive grill

Cons: Neither waterproof nor UV resistant

Poor Quality Speakers

David from CEDAR BLUFF, AL on 7/5/2023

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Paired these speakers with Sony DSX-M55BT stereo bought from Crutchfield; installed in the boat; can't even turn the volume up past 16-18 before hearing the speakers crackle as if they were 10 years old and dried up from the sun. I would never buy them again. Low cost equals low quality.

Pros: Easy to install, look nice.

Cons: Very poor quality.

Crutchfield response on 7/10/2023

Kevin from Crutchfield was a great help in finding exactly what I needed for my toy hauler. The speakers were equivalent to what came with it. They sound decent though without havingng to modify the toy hauler for bigger more expensive speakers. These fit the openings that were already there.

They sound good but this is my 3rd set of 4 speakers. Cloth material surround gets brittle and cracks to pieces after 1 year warranty. Would replace with other speakers but limited to depth of 2" on center console.

The speakers were priced well so I wasn't expecting anything great but they have a poor sound. It sounds very imbalanced with no Bass. I also put in Polk 4" speakers below deck and the Polk 4" have a good balance from the highs and lows. The Sony speakers seem to have only treble. Luckily I can turn them down really low and listen to the smaller Polk speakers.

I connected these to the Sony MSX- 80 45wRMS radio and they rock! Very impressed with the clarity and the bass does not disappoint. I had a lower lever 17w radio and they were good, but the higher wattage really makes them perform across all frequencies!

Poor Quality

Daniel from Moosic on 2/18/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Installed a pair on my deck boat and they lasted a mere 2 seasons. I kept hearing crackling and thought it was a loose wire then I was surprised to find the glue for the cone came loose and it was vibrating making the crackling noise. Funny thing is I have another pair of cheap Boss Marine speakers that still sound great and came with my boat when I bought it 13years ago.

Pros: White

Cons:

Installed in center console

George from Middletown, RI on 12/18/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Installed easily, but the sound is not great. It may be the lack of an enclosure. The center console that they are in is not ideal.

Pros: Seem to be well made.

Cons: Sound is hollow, empty, shallow. Could be the "encolsure" or lack thereof.

Good replacements at a great price

Deyeme from Troy, MO on 5/18/2016

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The grilles were cracked and so was the sound coming from the stock Jensen speakers in my 2010 Sea Doo Speedster 150. I needed to find "better than OE" replacements on a budget, and these Sony speakers fit the bill nicely. They were slightly smaller than the originals (my fault for not measuring more carefully), but I made adapter rings, and the install went without a hitch otherwise. Now I'm tempted to get two more and a Sony marine stereo to go with them!

Pros: Great sound for the price, and a good price

Cons: none
