Questions & Answers

The description implies that they have a tan lining, but the picture seems white and white in color. They are they whites or tans?

With a new white fabric upholstery, I will look nice in my boat. The speakers were white in color.

Where can I buy them to fit my 2002 ut classic?

I do not believe it's true. Using an Amp Warner 140, which mounts in the batwing, I started getting the job done. What an awesome sound!!

The waterproof 6 1/2"-2-inch marine aquavibe wr85b is my first choice. Would these works speakers with these on my rv?

Your question doesn't seem to fit in with what our thoughts are, we are quite picky about speakers, and they weren't as bad as we were expecting. The result is quite satisfactory.

Are these speakers good speakers fit as outside travel trailer replacements? Why is the screw pattern similar to the y pattern the same?

How about the screw pattern as well, Is it pattern the same as what? In order to find out exactly how the Kenwood speakers are fitted, you'll need to follow the instructions for installation in the manual. There are several diagrams illustrating the screw pattern and measurements in the instructions.

Describe a typical guy in your opinion
5/5

Awesome! All I know are highs, lows, mid-ranges, and anything like that, personally. As much as I enjoy boat-related products, the speakers I wish to acquire have to do with upgrading my boat. A review search on amazon led me to these: “best marine speakers” and a two-month google, I decided they were worthwhile. Now that they're up and running I can see the big difference. The old canon can still be used power the old clarion deck powering them! Whenever speakers sound okay or bad, I know when to change them. These can easily be bought as an option if you're looking for standard Joes. It's okay when the volume is high. Within minutes of writing this review, I ordered another pair of the bow. Are they also very nice e they look amazing! Installing took about 10 minutes for me.

An outstanding value for money
5/5

A great price for the product. The sound quality is okay. The past few years have been a great experience for me. Generally, when I play my music as loud as possible, these last me for one year, but I get soaked with salt water every second or third day of the year. I like the way it's priced and the abuse it gives. It may be useful to listen to your home stereo if you want clear, high fidelity sounds. If you're in need of food while diving in salt water and having a great time with Pantera then these are for you.

In my opinion, it isn't beneficial to use the ocean for marine purposes
3/5

The speakers I ordered seemed to impress me, however after one year of use, everything failed in an illogical manner. They looked like a speaker and used a flex joint, but the cone was separated from the rubber band, and the tweeters rusted out as a result.

Great speakers, we are on the lookout llies! There are eight (8) speakers on my motor yacht that this size
5/5

Alpine amplifiers with 50W drive are used to power the speakers' four (4) channels. power must be shared with 8 speakers for the amplifiers to work. There will be only 25Watts per speaker at this time. When buying these Kenwood speakers at home, I worried their 50-Watt power would be insufficient to give them enough power. Despite how well they sing, I've never experienced a full-volume performance; you should consider that. It's like they're incredibly loud and clear. These Kenwoods not only sound great, but are also breathtakingly beautiful. They appear to be highly durable, very rugged and durable. There is one minor issue: the screw holes need to be aligned with the face plate. Your faceplate can not be rotated from one to the other without getting off the screw holes altogether. There is no surety that screw holes existing from the prior speakers will not rub against the appropriate faceplate when used with the Kenwood name. In order to prevent crooked surfaces, we need to drill holes or change our spigots. It will not work if the wires that connect the speakers (where the two power terminals are located) are too short to make it to the bottom of the Kenwood. Cut out of the cardboard, only about half of the existing speaker wires remain. Thus, cutting and splicing more wire is a bit of an undertaking since we have to disassemble additional wires for them to pass through behind the bulkhead, thus expanding the installation. Installing the speaker on the side was the easiest way to do so. My peripheral would be properly oriented by rotating the face plate so that it rotated like a rotating arm. Despite this, these Kenwoods sound just as decent outswing!.

There is a value called a "sound" value
4/5

To be honest, even though it's in a 21 foot center console, my wife was unable to resist using some inexpensive dual speakers. A saltwater filter is absolutely vital to the wellbeing of South Texas saltwater fishermen. They sounded tection so their sound went from meh to done. I fitted these speakers to the holes with pilot holes and replaced their screw locations with screw locations that matched. They sound much better than the other academy sports-sourced samples. As a result, the lows and highs are better. A lot of rain is required due to their climate, so even something as simple as a bottle of water can't last forever. Due to that, I doubt I should probably replace them every two years. Even in drifting land near the laguna madre they play Jimmy Buffett and Clutch both. In terms of grille coverage, the grilles offer better protection and shade, which is one reason I chose the speaker cones as their covering. Using a few settings, a speaker can display the LEDs that are in it without sacrificing safety. The only light I like is a light. Do you mind telling me how to create sounds? I do.

Great price!! A little bit lower price but I found these to be cheap
5/5

I think it actually could have cost me more. As part of this purchase, we decided to extend the life of the first set for two additional seasons. A big question is what is the best way to cut a hole in the fiberglass. Using a 5" regular hole saw and 1 yard of masking tape, we achieved a perfect hole without problems. It needed to be sanded a little bit to make sure it fit correctly, but it is perfect. I do not think it would have taken too long for them to make the hole bigger, but I don't care. To make them fit, a thin amount of sanding must be done in order to accomplish this. Having great bass, and a sound that matches. As a picky pair, we are extremely happy with our purchase.

These speakers were very good for the money, and I enjoyed them very much
5/5

There's no end of audio. Excellent performance! Do you prefer that r great! Having a couple of speakers when paired with a r pair of paired with my Fusion RA- Makes plenty of noise while it sits in the water. I can never hear it as loudly in a full-throttle boat setup, but when driving it more than a half turn, you hardly have the issue. I do not have an amplifier plugged into my Grady unit. There are nice lows and a good range in white. Having a surprisingly full sound. Featuring a large magnet on the back and great construction. By the time I figured this out, I was considering deleting the extra money from my Fusion 6 investment. These speakers weigh only 5", so I'm satisfied with them. Does not have an idea how they fare in the weather. We've also updated the update table. *The speakers aren't broken nearly 2 years later. Having the speakers for less is just beyond impressive, and their sound and durability are excellent too. The speaker is not as bad after two years as a regular speaker might be. Whenever there is water in the boat and when they are sprayed, they absorb the spray. There have been no deteriorations or other issues found to date. A 10/10 rating cannot go wrong.

This is an amazing sound - I love it **Sound Great - ** No wireless access**
4/5

I enjoyed receiving this great gift. There has not been an addition to the wireless audio system; that is, only 4 stars since they sound much better than previous Memphis Car Audio component speakers they replaced which cost 3 times more expensive. Whenever I was younger, I would have used cables to use speakers. Now you have a way of knowing for sure.
