JL Audio marine speakers provide better overall sound quality and a totally different sound profile than most marine speakers. The JL Audio M3 and M6 marine speakers have specially treated, silk dome tweeters instead of aluminum, titanium, or PEI dome tweeters like most other marine speakers. As a result, these JL Audio marine speakers give you rich, warm, well-balanced sound output that isn't as bright and in-your-face as most. If you prefer sound quality over just pure volume, JL Audio is the best way to go for marine speakers. The M6 offers more power handling and larger tweeters than the M3. If you want RGB LEDs, both use JL's Transflective technology which illuminuates the translucent cone from behind, instead of shining back from the speaker grille.

JL Audio M6 Speakers

The JL Audio M6 marine speakers are JL's top of the line, element ready coaxial speakers and possibly the best sounding speakers that JL Audio makes. The JL Audio M6 speakers were designed from the ground up and are designed to provide a superior listening experience while out on the water. The M6 JL Audio speakers are available in both coaxial and tower configurations and are offered with classic white, sport white, and sport titanium grilles. These speakers feature the option to add LED lights with JL's Transflective technology. This uses a translucent cone and the LED lights shine and light up the cone from behind for a brighter and smoother lighting experience. The M6 JL Audio marine speakers come in 6.5", 7.7" and 8.8" diameters to meet the needs of any boat owner. If you want the best speakers from the leading brand in marine audio, the JL Audio M6 is the way to go!

JL Audio M3 Speakers

The JL Audio M3 marine speakers build on the success of the MX series speakers. The M3 JL Audio marine speakers use many of the same technologies as the MX series speakers, but they have a little bit different style grilles and the models with the LED lighting use JL's Transflective technology for smooth and bright illumination. The M3 stands to maintain and build on the reputation that JL has established with their marine speakers, offer superior sound quality at an attractive, affordable price. For the price, the performance of the JL M3 outshine the competition (pun intended).

Can I Use JL Audio Marine Speakers without an Amplifer?

You can use JL Audio speakers without an amplifier, but they will sound significantly better with an amp. If you are going to power JL Audio marine speakers directly off of your radio, we recommend using the M3-650x speakers. The M6 speakers require too much power and the price point is too high to justify spending that kind of money without enough power behind them.

What Amplifier do You Recommend I power my JL Audio marine speakers with?

The amp we typically recommend to power your JL Audio marine speakers is the M-series marine amplifiers. These amplifiers use JL's NexD switching circuitry to deliver clean power to your speakers while minimizing current draw. If you opt for some 7.7" or 8.8" M6 speakers, you can upgrade to the JL Audio MHD amplifiers. The MHD series amps have a constant power circuit and Class D power supplies, but they are significantly more expensive because of the RIPS power supply. If you want to read more on that, check out our JL Audio M-Series vs. MHD amplifiers article.

Do JL Audio Tower Speakers Include Clamps?

The clamps are not included with the ETXv3 or VeX JL Audio tower speakers. All of the JL Audio tower speaker clamps are specific to the bar diameter. Unlike other companies that take the easy way out and offer a range and use rubber adapters, JL Audio makes their clamps to fit a specific size bar and they fit that size bar perfectly. For the ETXv3 tower speakers, JL offers fixed, swivel, and surface mount hardware in addition to select, direct-fit, OEM tower adapters. The VeX pods come with fixed clamps only.
