The RMS power is the amount of power the speaker requires to operate safely and properly. RMS Power Handling refers to the amount of power a speaker can handle on a continuous basis. We recommend powering your speakers or subwoofer with 80%-120% of its recommended RMS rating. The RMS power handling specification is typically rated per speaker unless otherwise noted.
Peak power handling refers to the amount of power a speaker can handle during a brief musical burst. The RMS power range figure is a much more reliable rating for determining the speaker's power requirements. The Peak power handling specification is typically rated per speaker unless otherwise noted.
Many brands group their products into series or lines of products to help customers know the level of quality (good, better, best for example). You can filter by series and the brand using our guided browsing.
This means that the subwoofer/speaker is designed to be installed in areas that do not have a lot of space. Shallow mount subwoofers are typically found under a seat or behind the seat in some trucks.
Shallow mount speakers will typically have a mounting depth of 2" or less, while shallow mount subwoofers will typically have a mounting depth of 3" or less.
Dual voice coil subs have more wiring flexibility than single voice coils subs; however, single voice coil subwoofers provide easier hookup options for wiring multiple subwoofers in parallel or series. You may also run a dual voice coil (DVC) sub in parallel, series, or combination. A quad voice coil has four voice coils and is equal to two dual voice coil subwoofers as far as wiring goes.
The load value (in ohms) that the speakers present to the amplifier per voice coil - the amount of resistance to the current flow. This is a key specification as subs wired in parallel or low impedances can create problems with your amplifier and potentially void all warranties. We encourage you to ask our support department prior to purchase if you do not understand which impedance level will suit your application best.
This is the design of the subwoofer or the opening of the subwoofer enclosure. Each design has it's own benefits, whether it is a square, circle, or oval.
Round/Circle: This is the typical and common subwoofer design. They have a round cone and are a circle in design.
Square: These woofers are able to achieve a greater cone area in a smaller space. Because of the greater surface area, some square subwoofers will be louder than a round subwoofer of the same size.
This value indicates the minimum sealed box volume that the manufacturer recommends for the subwoofer. The volume is typically displayed in cubic feet.
This value indicates the maximum sealed box volume that the manufacturer recommends for the subwoofer. The volume is typically displayed in cubic feet.
An efficiency or sensitivity rating tells you how effectively a speaker converts power into sound. The higher the number, the more efficient the speaker and the louder it will play with the same input power. An efficient speaker helps you maximize your available power. Most sensitivity ratings measure the speaker's output with 1 watt of input, 1 meter from the speaker. Some speakers' sensitivity is measured with 2.83 volts of input, instead of 1 watt.
Efficiency (1w/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other speakers or subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".
This is the recommended type of enclosure that the subwoofer should be installed into. Some subwoofers are specially designed for particular enclosures.
Sealed: These enclosures completely enclose the air inside the box. These boxes produce a tight bass.
Ported/Vented: These enclosures have a slot of air to escape from the box. The result is a sound that has more "boom".
Bandpass: These are a combination of both sealed and ported enclosures. They can be very efficient, but require tuning for the best response.
Typically measured in millimeters, the Xmax value is the measure of a speaker cone's maximum excursion in one direction while maintaining a linear behavior.

Add some boom to your pontoon. If your water-side party is lacking oomph, it may be time to add a subwoofer to your audio system. Marine Subwoofers are manufactured to thrive in the elements.
Built to withstand water and sun – these speakers are less susceptible to corrosion. Equipped with rubber gaskets and stainless steel, the delicate internal circuiting is protected from the outside world by hard coverings and speaker grills. Most are UV resistant to prevent the color from fading and the general aging of the subwoofer’s appearance.
Marine subwoofers are specially designed audio drivers built to withstand the harsh conditions and elements encountered in marine environments, such as boats, yachts, and outdoor marine installations. Unlike regular subwoofers, marine subwoofers are constructed with weather-resistant materials, including corrosion-resistant coatings, UV-treated cones, and sealed enclosures to protect against water, salt, and sun exposure. They are engineered to deliver powerful and high-quality bass performance in open-air environments, where standard car audio subwoofers might not last long due to moisture and corrosion damage. Marine subwoofers are a reliable choice for boating enthusiasts who want to enhance their on-water audio experience with deep and rich bass while ensuring durability and longevity.
Yes, in most cases, marine subwoofers can be used in car and home audio systems as well. Their weather-resistant properties make them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. However, it's essential to consider the specific requirements of your audio setup. Marine subwoofers may have different impedance ratings and power handling capabilities compared to regular subwoofers, so it's essential to match them correctly with your amplifier or receiver. Additionally, marine subwoofers are typically designed to produce bass in open-air environments, so their performance might vary when used in an enclosed space. If you intend to use a marine subwoofer in your car or home, ensure that it meets the necessary specifications for your audio system and consider any potential acoustic differences between marine and regular subwoofers.
While marine subwoofers are designed to be weather-resistant and handle moisture, they are not intended to be fully submerged underwater. Most marine subwoofers can withstand exposure to rain, splashes, and humidity, making them ideal for marine applications. However, submerging them underwater for extended periods can lead to damage and compromise their performance. If you are looking for subwoofers for underwater use, you should explore specialized waterproof or submersible audio equipment designed explicitly for such applications. For marine subwoofers, it's crucial to mount them in areas of the boat where they are protected from direct exposure to water and ensure they are properly installed to avoid water intrusion into the enclosure.
To power marine subwoofers on a boat, you need a marine-grade amplifier that matches the subwoofer's power handling and impedance specifications. Marine amplifiers are designed to withstand the harsh marine environment, just like marine subwoofers. Look for an amplifier with the appropriate power output to provide the subwoofers with enough power for optimal performance without overpowering or damaging them. Ensure that the amplifier is mounted in a dry and well-ventilated location to prevent moisture-related issues. When wiring the system, use marine-grade wiring and connectors to ensure reliability and longevity in a marine environment. If you are unsure about selecting the right amplifier or wiring configuration, consult with a marine audio expert who can guide you in choosing the best power setup for your marine subwoofers and audio system.
Marine subwoofers are generally compatible with a wide range of boats and marine vessels. However, it's essential to consider the available space and mounting options on your specific boat. Some boats, such as small runabouts or personal watercraft, may have limited space for audio installations, requiring slim or compact marine subwoofers. Larger boats and yachts, on the other hand, can accommodate larger and more powerful marine subwoofers. Before purchasing marine subwoofers, measure the available space in your boat and ensure that the subwoofer and enclosure can fit securely without obstructing any other boat components. Additionally, consider the power requirements and compatibility with your boat's electrical system. For custom installations or unique boat designs, consulting with a marine audio specialist can help you choose marine subwoofers that suit your boat's specific requirements for enhanced audio performance on the water.
