Style and sound for your boat

Durable poly cone tweeters
Style and sound for your boat
Marine speakers don't just need to sound good — they need to last, too. Sony's XS-MP1621 marine speakers have the auditory bases covered, thanks to responsive polypropylene woofers and tweeters, while durability is ensured with UV-protected components and a water-resistant design.
And, thanks to the sharp styling of the grilles, these 6-1/2" speakers will cut a fine figure in your boat's bulkhead. Don't like white? No problem, the grilles are paintable, so you can customize the look to match your style.

I replaced the original Clarion marine speakers on our cruiser and Was most pleasantly surprised with the wide-range response that they produce. The sound is very crisp and they also have great base. I believe that they are a great value at that price point.
