About the JBL MS8W
Awesome JBL sound for your boat
Awesome JBL sound for your boat
JBL designed their Club Series marine speakers to sound great when you're out on the water, and to give you years of reliable performance. Rigorously tested for strength and durability, these MS8 8” speakers have the precise, powerful sound signature you expect from JBL — all in a package that looks good in your boat.
Worthy of your investment
Why invest in quality marine speakers? Because you want to hear your music over the wind, the water, and roar of your boat's engine, that's why. With these JBLs, you'll get more than volume – you'll hear your music the way you're supposed to, without scratchiness and distortion. Things that used to sound muffled through your old boat speakers, like brass, vocals, and pianos, will sound crystal clear, even when you're underway.
The JBL engineering team puts a lot of time into making their marine speakers sing. The durable polypropylene woofer features an oversized cone, so you'll enjoy higher sensitivity, increased low-frequency thump, and a richer overall listening experience. The balanced dome tweeter is mounted on the grille for outstanding performance and all-season durability.
Built to withstand the elements
Life on the water can be hard on speakers, so JBL makes sure that their speakers are tough enough to take it. The one-piece cast-polymer basket can handle years of sun and salt, while the rubber surround and sealed magnet ensure years of reliable performance. Your music will come through loud and clear, whether you're roaring across the waves or relaxing at the dock.

Features
Tweeters: The tweeters are bridge mounted to the grilles, rather than to a pole piece, thus there is no chance of water leaking through the woofer cone.
