Outstanding sound for the outdoors

JL Audio builds their M3 VEX tower speakers to deliver quality sound while you're tearing along your favorite stretch of water or patch of land. Whether you're out for a day of water skiing or navigating a challenging trail, you'll definitely hear your music over the roar of your boat or UTV.

Built for off-road use

These 6-1/2" tower speakers are ideal for marine or off-road use. The super-stiff mica-injected polypropylene cones feature durable synthetic-rubber surrounds, while the 3/4" treated silk dome tweeters are mounted directly to the grilles for optimal sound dispersion. Lightweight neodymium magnets deliver heavy sound, but won't mess with your boat's center of gravity.

Tough enough for rough water

Specially tuned for maximum performance, these sleek, sharp-looking VEX speakers use marine-grade stainless steel, synthetic fibers, and UV-resistant polymer baskets to protect their inner workings against humidity and salt. They look terrific, of course, but they're also durable enough to survive in harsh marine environments.

Don't forget the clamps

Each of the injection-molded VEX pods features a weatherproof Lexan™ logo applique on the end opposite the speaker. The rotating clamp receiver is designed to mate with a JL Audio clamp system (sold separately) and allows you to aim the speakers for optimal performance.

Features

Overview: JL Audio's M3-650VeX marine speakers feature their M3 6.5-inch marine woofer and 3/4" dome tweeter, coaxially mounted in attractive injection-molded enclosures designed to withstand the harsh marine environment. Each enclosure includes a decorative logo cap that can be attached in any orientation to match the mounting application.

Materials Testing: All of JL Audio's marine products endure rigorous materials testing to achieve reliability and longevity. This includes ultraviolet testing chambers, simulating years of sun exposure, along with salt/fog chambers, simulating years of exposure to salt water. This level of testing allows JL Audio to build products that not only sound great, but will endure the marine environment for a long time.

Power Handling: The 4Ω JL Audio marine speakers can handle 60 watts RMS with a peak power rating of 225 watts. For best results, each speaker should be powered by a marine amplifier in the 20-120 watt RMS range.

Mounting: The M3-650VeX's do NOT include mounting clamps or hardware. Various size clamps, both fixed and swiveling, are available here for mounting the marine speakers to a large variety of wake-towers and rails. JL Audio provides a Pipe Mounting Fixture Ruler that can be downloaded here for determining the proper pipe diameter.

Wiring: Each speaker includes 117" of speaker bare-ended speaker wire extending from the bottom of the enclosure. Both strands of speaker wire are white with the positive side having "+" markings along it.

Not to our knowledge, they are just out of stock!

thomas May 07, 2021 (Staff)

The frequency response says low of 100hz. Can this really be correct?

jessey Nov 28, 2020

1 answer

That is the frequency response provided by JL Audio

do they have a swivel mount?

dieter Oct 17, 2020

Nope. Mount not included

anthony Oct 17, 2020

I haven't installed them yet but it looks like you can position them anyway you want too.

paul Oct 17, 2020

If you order the JL mounts made by Axia Alloy they do swivel, but at set increments. The mounts are excellent and should give you great flexibility in your mounting options.

michael Oct 17, 2020

Do these have any bass at all?

paul May 28, 2020

3 answers

They're a speaker. You WILL blow them out if you don't utilize a subwoofer with these in conjunction with this speaker.

anthony May 28, 2020

Yes they do, I am very impressed with the range on these speakers.

kevin May 28, 2020

They sound great, but I also have a m6 10" sub.

We'd love to know what you think

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
