Really, really big sound

JL Audio's line of M6 marine speakers bring a whole new level of sound and style to your boat. These massive 8.8” speakers combine innovative design with rugged, marine-ready componentry to give you outstanding audio performance. They're made to get loud, so you know they'll really cut through wind, water, and engine noise.

Powerful performance

The 1-1/4" treated-silk dome tweeter really hits the high notes, while the true 2-way crossover ensures that the woofer and tweeter work in perfect concert. You'll hear all the details of your music, even when the throttle is forward and you're skimming over the waves. You don't have to worry about mounting the crossovers, either, because they're attached to the speaker frames.

These big, beefy coaxial speakers offer a huge performance advantage over conventional 6.5" marine speakers and even JL's already-impressive 7.7" models. The bass performance is so impressive that you might not even need a subwoofer to pump out serious low-frequency thump. But if you do use a subwoofer, you'll hear vastly better dynamics and mid-bass impact. If you want seriously rich, full sound on your boat, these speakers, combined with a subwoofer, are a great choice.

Built for life on the water

All JL Audio marine speakers are designed to meet or exceed industry standards for salt, fog, and moisture resistance. They're built tough, too, with UV-resistant grilles and corrosion-resistant polymer baskets that surround the internal structure for extra protection. The marine-grade synthetic fiber spider, injection-molded polypropylene cone, and synthetic rubber surround provide outstanding performance, while shrugging off sun, salt, and moisture. As an added bonus, you're protected by JL Audio's 2-year warranty.

Product Research

Features

Marine Tested: JL Audio's marine speakers are tested in ultraviolet chambers to simulate years of sun exposure, and salt fog chambers to simulate years of exposure to salt-water environments.

Woofers: The woofer cones are mica-filled injection-molded polypropylene (IMPP) with UV inhibitors and synthetic rubber surrounds. The precisely engineered dust cap profiles help smooth the upper-end response. Each woofer uses a marine-grade synthetic fiber spider with a progressive roll design and a vented motor structure with a marine grade stainless steel rear diffuser plate.

DMA (Dynamic Motor Analysis): DMA is JL Audio's proprietary method of improving dynamic motor behavior. The DMA-optimized long-excursion design enhances output, bass extension and power handling of the speaker.

Tweeters: Each speaker features a bridge mounted 1¼" silk dome tweeter with a specially formulated treatment to withstand the marine environment. The tweeters use neodymium magnets for higher efficiency levels and is Ferrofluid-cooled and damped for improved response and power handling capabilities.

Crossover: The JL audio marine speakers utilize a true 2-way crossover network with 2nd order low-pass and 3rd order high-pass circuits. The crossover network also features a polyswitch solid-state tweeter protection circuit. The crossover is built into the terminal assembly to protect it from vibration and corrosion.

Polymer Basket And Grille: The baskets and grilles are UV-resistant polymer. The baskets encapsulate the woofers' motor systems to prevent corrosion.

Infinite-Baffle Operation: The speakers are optimized for infinite-baffle operation so they can be installed in a variety of locations, without the need for a dedicated enclosure.

Power Handling: JL Audio recommends two RMS power figures for this model; 125 watts RMS continuous power handling and 50-250 recommended amplifier power. We've listed the more conservative 50-125 watts RMS range in the specs table.

Do these run full range or recommend hp crossover and what setting?

vernon Aug 19, 2020

1 answer

I use them in a full range setting , they work outstanding and I didn't need a crossover due to the design of the speaker. They have crisp sound for the highs mid and bass tones .

Will these speakers fit in a 2013 Yamaha ar210? I want to put them in the existing speakers locations. I know that the joke will need to be modified, just curious if there's enough room there to do it?

We don't have a database of space on boats to pull from, but we do have advisors that you can reach by calling 1-800-324-9695 and they can help guide you on what to measure on the boat to make sure it can fit My Bio: https://www.crutchfield.com/bio/Paul

Best amp to run two of these?

chris Apr 21, 2025

1 answer

Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp for your speakers, I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system.

kenneth Apr 24, 2025 (Staff)

Will these work well with an Apollo amp or should I keep the speaker and amp brand the same? I have heard the amps were designed specifically for each brand speaker. Thanks!

sim Nov 03, 2024

1 answer

The Apollo amps do fall within JL Audio's recommend amp power and if properly set to not output more than 125 watts RMS, then they could work. However, we like to recommend amps whose rated power does not exceed the top RMS watts which means the Apollo series amps would not be a good match since they output 150 watts RMS. I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to get a personal recommendation on a matched system

I need these For UTV. I probably need the bullet where the can be assembled in my UTV but can't find it here. Do you sell them??

Greetings Manny, and thank you for your question. We do not have the empty enclosures from JL to match these speakers, but we do have the loaded enclosures with the M6 880s already installed. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_13693666/JL-Audio-M6-880ETXv3-Sb-S-GmTi-Black-w-Gunmetal-Sport-Grille-and-Titanium-Grille-Insert.html?tp=96464

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.
