Installed easily with no problems, sound amazing!

I read a lot of reviews prior to purchase and decided for the price to just go for it. I must say, the arrived within 3 days and installed in seconds. I will say that for my Wake Tower (2.25") I did have to run to Home Depot and purchase 3" bolts ($3) which to me is no big deal and the HD bolts made for a amazing fit, nice and snug. I ran these directly to my head unit on my Marlin 16ft boat (no amplifier) and must say that they sound amazing. I'm running 2 JBL patio speakers underneath the dash up front and these 2 on the tower all straight off the Pioneer (with bluetooth which makes it awesome!) and it sounds incredible. I could stand a bit more bass, but I'm assuming the radio is probably pushing 35-45 watts maxx so who's complaining. I'm sure if I added a little 4 channel marine amp these would rock even more. I've had NO problems with the brackets and I've taken the boat out 3 times...so driving down the road at 55mph on about a 40 mile roundtrip and running out on the lake; they haven't budged..not sure what the other reviews were all about...these installed easily and tightly. I prefer the HD bolts as they were phillips versus the allan wrench..so we were able to use a cordless power driver to tighten, the brackets did not crack or otherwise. Highly recommend these speakers, I've also added pix with them installed on amazon. I may add an amp at a later time to see what more they're capable of, but if you're looking for clean, smooth sound these are great!

great speaker, not so great mounting screw issue

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2017

for the price point, i don't think you can find a better speaker. we mounted these on the tower on our powerboat and they worked great with and without an amp. We opted to connect them to an amp since we already had one and the sound went from "wow that's pretty good" to "wow that's pretty great!" when we did. even out on the water at top speed, we could clearly hear and enjoy our music. the one complaint i do have is that brand new, right out of the box, one of the speakers' mounting screws was stuck inside its threaded hole. thankfully we were at our mechanic and tire shop with our mechanic friend, so we had the tools and know-how on hand to dremel the screw out of there and MacGyver the setup well enough to hold the speaker on with just one mounting screw (each speaker has two mounting screws). However, we will still have to get another screw and hopefully the inside of the hole is still useable. This just isn't an issue that we felt we should have to deal with considering the speakers were brand new, and we wondered what someone might do that doesn't happen to have the tools/ know-how/ etc. available to them. Not cool, so that takes away a couple stars for me.

the Speakers themselves seem to be pretty good. The housings on the other hand are a different story. One of the clamp bolts had the nut locked up on the threads right out of the box. I had to almost destroy the clamp to get a Dremel tool in to it to cut it off. I had to go to tractor supply and buy another bolt that was much longer in order to get the clamp to work. I know I could have sent it back and had it replaced, but I wanted to use the speakers right away. I have one ride on them and they work flawlessly. For the money, I would say they were a pretty good deal. I have recently seen some housings of really high quality that were maybe only a few dollars more per set that maybe I would have purchased if I had seen them beforehand. I would recommend looking to a slightly better set, but if money is your main concern, feel confident in purchasing these. They will be fine.

Great Sound, Ok housing.

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2014

All wakeboard speaker consist of 2 different products combines together, the speaker itself and the housing, which is sometimes referred as the can. To be fair in a review we have to look at these separately.

1. The speakers inside these cans are great. And by great I mean LOUD! without distortion. Honestly, for the price I wasn't expecting anything near as good. The wakeboarder can hear them perfectly behind the boat. I'm powering 2 pairs of them using HALF of a 2000w lanzar amp. The other half of the amp is reserve to power the interior boat speakers. Again, really cheap setup and killer sound.

2. The housing, this is where they cut costs. They look really good, but they are entirely made of plastic, including the bracket. The problem is that in choppy water they wiggle too much. I have actually had people asked me if it's safe to sit under them (which is inevitable when you install them on a tower). At the end of lake day, at least one speaker will be angled, and this is with the screws tight to the point where they seem that any tighter and they will break the plastic bracket. They do have a thin steel wire to wrap around the tower as a security mechanismin case the bracket brakes (shown on the product picture) , which does give a little peace of mind.

Still, these are a great value. If you want top of the line speaker then look somewhere else, but on the value-speaker range there is simply no competition.

Great speakers for the money..

The media could not be loaded.

Let me say first they are not the loudest speakers you can get. But for only 80 bucks for 2. I didn't expect that. I installed this on my 09 rsr 800 with the pyle hydra amp and was pleased with them. You get food sound but not a lot of bass which I'm good with. And it's nice that I can add 2 more and only be at 200 bucks for everything. I have yet to have it on the woods with them but I'm happy so far

Great buy just for the casing 🤷🏿‍♂️

I purchased this item with the intention of changing the speaker inside. I installed a 300 watt rms prv midrange speaker. They are loud. I’m running them as mid bass speakers in my 2011 Lexus rx350. I installed brackets and had them mounted to the side of my sub box 😍😍😍😍😍😍. Don’t worry about the quality of the speaker, just know you are getting a great 8” shell for a great price.
