I would not recommend those for marine use,Kenwood does make a speaker for that type of application

Installed on motorbike, they are better than factory, however not a lot of base.

Outdoor speakers are weather resistant. NOT waterproof. They must be installed in an area that is protected from falling water. UV rays from the Sun will destroy anything it touches over time. Morning dew will not bother them. Occasional water will not harm them. But direct rain will undoubtedly harm any speakers. "Marine Grade" speakers are as close to waterproof as they come. "Marine Grade" speakers will resist a salt water environment. But even they must be rinsed off after a day at sea. My advice is that you find a place where your speakers will be protected from the rain & sun. Moisture & heat will not harm them. But direct water & direct sun will destroy anything. I live in Florida. I understand this better than anyone. Products which were advertised as indestructible, water proof, sun proof etc don't survive here in Florida. Again. Put these under an eve, overhang or other protection. Otherwise you will replace them in a couple of years.

I would say no just because of the fact that they would be exposed to the elements, I recommend using marine speakers.

They can be used in marine applications, all though Polk Audio has other speakers even more directed towards marine use, like the mm6501 marine version.

Sorry I don't know anything about marine usage. 75 rms per speaker is recommended. 4ohm.

The directions say it will not work well in high temperatures and it is not sand durable I would say but the volume would be OK. If you are looking for a speaker at the beach it may not be the best choice.

I don't know the answers to either question . . . I bought these to replace two others I had that had become 'discolored' from exposure to the elements . . . I am driving them with a Sony mobile amp , 100 watts per channel . . . my other speakers are Sony marine speakers imbedded in the cockpit . . . these were the exact size I needed . . . they look graet & play better than the speakers I replaced . . . they handle the Sony power well . . . looked up data / 50 rms -100 peak at 8 ohm . . . black are 26+/white are 36+

As I understand it, they are "water-resistant", not waterproof. I have not had the chance to use these speakers in adverse weather.

They are excellent for marine use. We use ours on our fishing boat and it makes the image very stable like the boat isn't even rocking.

I would not put these or any conventional sub or soeaker on a boat. I would look into SpeakerCraft they make outstanding powerful speakers. Yes they will coast more but they make water proof and will last you years. Mount anything not rated for outdoor and you might get a year out of it.

I put these speakers in my boat they sound great, Make sure you have enough depth for the speaker to fit in place.

These are marine band radios, not the same type. This pair is used on my boat to monitor hailing and emergency channels. I transmit about 2-5 miles on a good day. They are great for talking to a boat you have line of sight on, but not too much further.

Yes, but by law you cannot use these as on-land communication devices. You can use them only on the water. You can research the proper use of Marine Band radios on the internet. You need to follow proper protocol when using marine band VHF radios. Many people don't understand how to use these radios properly and they crowd channel 16 with a bunch of garbage.

Think they are like 200w or so. We just run ours off the head unit on the boat. Sound great.

They are marine grade... that means that they are 'relatively' waterproof. I have mine in a Plymouth Prowler. They are mounted so they face towards the sky. They have been sprinkled on, and I have gotten them damp when I washed the car. They still perform flawlessly. I would think that is what you could hope for out of a speaker.

They are great little speakers for the money. They are relatively small so they can only carry so much base. I think they are great little speakers. Rick

i'm on vacation and can't provide an honest answer. but if you're using them in a salt water boat, pass. you'll replace at least one speaker annually.
