Enhance Your Entertainment
When you're floating on the lake or down the river with your boat or pontoon, a little music can take that good experience and turn it into a great experience. You could always use rechargeable portable speakers, but they may not be the best solution. Portable speakers can run out of battery and may not be quite as water-resistant as you'd like them to be. Wireless portable speakers are often smaller, offer lower sound quality, and may not connect well to your wireless devices. On top of that, portable speakers can even float away if they get knocked overboard!
RecPro offers good speakers designed to mount directly to your boat, pontoon, or other marine vehicle. You won't need to worry about accidentally knocking one of these speakers into the water! Speaking of water, our marine speakers are all highly water resistant, with some models offering a water resistance rating of IP67. You won't need to worry about moisture from the air or water from the river, lake, or even ocean causing these waterproof speakers to fail on you! As an added bonus, many of our marine speakers are also UV resistant, as they are made with robust materials to withstand frequent outdoor use.
Don't let the versatility and robust durability of these marine speakers fool you. At RecPro, our boat speakers do not compromise on sound quality. Our speakers offer beautifully deep sound from your music, movies, and other media, with crisp high notes and deep, rumbling low notes. What else could you want from your speakers? How about style?

About Marine Speakers
What Are Marine Speakers?
Marine speakers are different from regular speakers, as marine speakers are specially designed to withstand a salty, harsh, and wet marine environment. What makes a marine speaker different mostly comes down to its construction.
A marine speaker is constructed with more durable and weather-resistant materials than a regular speaker, allowing it to stand up to splashes, high humidity, salty spray, harsh UV light, and sometimes partial submersion.
What makes a speaker a marine speaker comes down to a few key characteristics:
Water and Weather Resistance
Marine speakers are built with materials such as rubber surrounds, stainless steel, and polypropylene cones to fight against water damage and corrosion.
UV Protection
The housing, grille, and other exterior components of a marine speaker are built using materials that resist prolonged exposure to sunlight, which helps protect the speaker from degradation from UV rays.
Enhanced Durability
Marine speakers offer more durable construction than regular speakers, allowing them to withstand physical impacts or strong vibrations, making marine boat speakers safe to use even during travel.
Shopping Help For Good Marine Speakers
What to look for in a marine speaker?
There are a few things you should look for when shopping for marine speakers. Since boat speakers will be frequently exposed to a harsh marine environment, you should look for speakers that offer a high water resistance rating such as IPX5 or higher. You should also look for speakers that offer exceptional durability and are constructed with strong materials that offer UV light and corrosion resistance.
After you have found a speaker that offers durability and high water, UV light, and corrosion resistance, you will want to look at their power handling to make sure that the speakers can safely handle the power output of your boat audio system without diminished performance.
Lastly, you should look at the performance and sound quality of the speakers. Consider the sensitivity rating, how well the frequency response of the speakers can produce different sounds, and how clearly the speakers produce audio across high, mid, and bass audio ranges.
What are the different sizes of marine speakers?
Marine speakers are most commonly found in 6.5 inch sizes. However, marine speakers are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with other popular sizes including 4, 5, 8, and 10 inches. 6 inch by 9 inch (6x9) oval shaped marine speakers are also popular and are often installed near the steering wheel of the boat.
How much does it cost to put speakers on a boat?
Putting speakers on a boat can cost anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on several factors. These factors include the type of speakers, the quality of the speakers, whether or not you need an amplifier and head unit, and if the speakers are installed by a professional or by yourself.
The general price range of marine speakers are typically:
- Basic Marine Speakers: $50 to $100
- Mid-Range Speakers: $100 to $300 or more
- High-End and Tower Speakers: $300 to $1000 or more
The general total cost of an entire marine audio system, including installation and accessories, is typically:
- Basic System: $300 to $700
- Mid-Range System: $1000 to $2500 or more
- High-End System: $3000 or more
These cost and price ranges are general estimations, not approximate values.
Marine & Boat Speakers FAQ
Are marine speakers louder than regular speakers?
Marine boat speakers are usually louder than regular car speakers. They are designed to project sound further in open-air environments and are constructed to overcome loud ambient noise such as wind, splashing waves, and engine noise.
Do I need an amp for marine speakers?
Some marine speaker models require an amplifier, while others may have a built-in amp. However, it is generally recommended to have an amplifier for your boat speaker, even if your boat speakers have a built-in amp, as the built-in amp may not provide optimal power for your sound system. Having an amplifier helps ensure that your sound system has enough power and can provide improved sound quality and volume in all situations.
Can I use non-marine speakers on a boat?
Technically, yes, you can use regular speakers on a boat. However, it is not recommended to use non-marine speakers on a boat as they are generally not durable enough to survive or perform in a marine environment. This can lead to diminished sound quality, poor speaker performance, or the speaker breaking completely.
Marine speakers are designed specifically for use in marine environments, such as on a boat. They are built to provide optimal performance and sound quality in open environments where ambient noise can be loud, and are constructed to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as moisture, splashes, UV light, and high or low temperatures.
Do you need a marine subwoofer for a boat?
No, a marine subwoofer is not strictly required for a boat's sound system. However, it is recommended to have a marine subwoofer on your boat as it can significantly enhance the quality, clarity, and depth of sound by providing deep and powerful bass sounds.
