Rockford Fosgate M2-8 8" 6 Speaker Stereo Package

The 8" Rockford Fosgate Punch speakers are pretty amazing. These speakers are designed to play loud but also sound good. The 8" speaker offers more cone surface area which means more volume and better mid and sub-bass response than the smaller, 6.5" speakers. If you are deciding between 8" and 6.5", go with the 8's as long as you have the space to mount them. They just sound better. The Rockford Punch marine speakers deliver that signature, loud, Rockford Fosgate sound without being shrill or sounding flat like other "loud" speakers. The 6 speaker configuraiton of this package is perfect for open bow, pontoon, center console, or any other type of boat that has the space. Usually two speakers are up front, two in the middle, and two in the rear for well balanced sound throughout the entire boat.

The Rockford TM400x4ad is one our favorite marine amplifiers. It is super small yet puts out a ton of raw power. It is a perfect match for the Rockford Fosgate Punch speakers and has a constant power circuit that will allow you to hear the difference between 100 watts from this amp, versus 100 watts from any other amp. For speaker wiring, you will need to double up either the front or rear outputs so that you run 4 speakers off of 2 channels. The amplifier can drop down to a 2 ohm load and will still provide plenty of power. The amp has a conformal coated board and stainless steel hardware to withstand the elements. In addition, the amplifier has dual cooling fans to ensure your amp does not shut itself off to prevent it from overheating. For the amount of power you get, the fact that it has a constant power circuit, and the super small footprint, the Rockford TM400x4ad is not only one of the best amps regardless of price, but it is also a tremendous value for the money.

If your boat came with 6.5" speakers and you want drop-in replacement speakers that are going to rock, this package will deliver. The Rockford Punch marine speakers are probably our favorite if you are looking for something that is going to be bright and loud, but also sound good.
