Overview
Our Wet Sounds REVO 6 6.5" 4 speaker stereo package includes 4 REVO 6 speakers, a Wet Sounds marine amplifier, and a 4 AWG marine amp kit. This package includes the basics you need to either build or upgrade your marine stereo system with high quality sound that will play as loud and as crystal clear as you'd like over the engine, wind, and water noise when you are out on your boat. You can select between 5 different speaker grille options, all of which come with RGB LEDs built-in. The REVO 6 speakers come in black, white, or silver grilles with both open or closed style options available for both black and white. For the amplifier, we offer three amplifier selections. The Wet Sounds STX MICRO 4 is a 520 watt compact 4 channel, the HTX-4 is a full-size, 600 watt marine grade 4 channel, and the SYN-DX4 is an 800 watt marine grade 4 channel amp. Finally, we include a 7m, Stinger 4 AWG marine amp power kit to deliver power from your battery to your amplifier.
Speakers
The Wet Sounds REVO 6, 6.5" speakers are known for delivering maximum volume, clarity, and durability. Wet Sounds only does marine grade audio and they specifically design their products for this environment. The REVO 6 speakers are designed to play loud and cut through the ambient noise from your engine, the wind, and the water. The 6.5" REVO 6 speakers have a 1.00" titanium dome tweeter that will play bright, crisp, clean, and loud. Wet Sounds has designed these speakers to cut through the ambient noise and ensures that the output of the REVO 6 is in the frequencies that you can actually hear when using your boat. There is no sense optmizing the mid-range output of a speaker when those frequencies are cancelled out by the rumbling of the engine and the wind when travelling at 15+ mph. You might hear these frequencies when the engine is off and the boat is docked, but when out on the water using your boat, you want your speakers loud, you want maximum clarity, and you want accuracy. The 6.5" REVO 6 speakers can handle 100 watts of RMS power which is more than most other 6.5" speakers. In addition to the 1.00" titanium dome tweeter, the cone surround and spider are made from Santoprene rubber which remains stable and strong regardless of whether you are in Alaska in the winter or out in Lake Havasu in the summer when it's 128 degrees out. This not only makes the REVO 6 extremely durable but also ensures linearity and accuracy with your speaker output.
All of the Wet Sounds REVO 6 speakers come with RGB LEDs. The leds are located behind the tweeter and integrated into the speaker grille. The LEDs shine backwards onto the cone to provide a colorful glow and enhance the appearance of your boat and your speakers. You can wire the RGB LEDs to one of seven different colors, or you can purchase an RGB LED controller that will allow you to select between numerous colors and allow you to switch between several coloring changing modes.
Amplifiers
We offer three different amplifier options in this package. All of the Wet Sounds amplifiers use Class-D circuitry for maximum efficiency. Both the HTX-4 and the SYN-DX 4 are full-sized marine grade amps while the STX MICRO-4 is a compact Class D amplifier that offers some cost and space savings. The one drawback of the STX MICRO-4 is the thermal management. Power generates heat and on hot summer days, playing your stereo loud, for extended periods of time can cause your amplifier to really heat up. With the size of the STX MICRO-4, it can't disspate heat like the full-size HTX-4 and SYN-DX 4 can. There is increased chances that your amplifier will shut off to protect itself with the STX MICRO-4 vs the other two options.
The STX MICRO-4 puts out 80W x 4 at 4 ohms. This is enough power for the REVO 6 speakers. They can handle more RMS power, but you don't have to always max everything out all the time. The REVO 6 speakers will still sound amazing with 80 watts of RMS power. The STX MICRO-4 has all of the crossover controls you would expect and delivers great sound, in a super small footprint, at an affordable price point.
The Wet Sounds HTX-4 is a perfect match for the REVO 6 speakers. The HTX-4 puts out 100 watts per channel at 4 ohms which is the same as the RMS power handling on the REVO 6. Since the HTX-4 is a full size amplifier, it will dissipate heat and not have to work as hard as the STX MICRO-4 to give your speakers the same, if not better output. The signal processing is what you would expect with both high and low level filters and 12dB/octave crossovers. The HTX-4 is the most popular amplifier for this kit. It gives the speakers the power they want, it can effectively manage the heat, but it doesn't cost as much as the SYN-DX 4.
The Wet Sounds SYN-DX 4 is very similar to the HTX-4, but with more output. At 4 ohms, you get an extra 25 watts of RMS power per channel. Like the other amplifiers, the SYN-DX 4 has both high and low pass filters and 12dB/octave crossovers. The benefit of the SYN-DX 4 vs the HTX-4 is simply how hard you have to drive your amplifier. If you want to ensure that you are driving the REVO 6 speakers with maximum power, you will have the gains on the HTX-4 turned up higher than you would on the SYN-DX 4. The SYN-DX 4 is going to manage heat better and will not have to work has hard as the HTX-4 would for the same output. If you play your stereo all day long, on super hot days, you might want to consider the SYN-DX 4. Think of it as though you are towing something uphill. With the HTX-4, you have the truck floored going up the hill. With the SYN-DX 4, you have your foot into it, but the truck is just cruisin'.
Amp Kit
To get the power from your battery to your amplifier, we include a Stinger 4AWG 7m marine amplifier wiring kit. This kit comes with roughly 23 feet of power and ground wire. The power and ground wire are molded together like what you typically find with speaker wire, allowing you to make a single run from your amplifier to your battery. You don't have to worry about taping wires together, twisted wires or any of the other headaches that sometimes come with pulling multiple, larger gauge wire. The power and ground wires are red and yellow to follow the standard, marine colors for power and ground on 12v systems. The kit includes a weather resitant fuse holder and an 80 amp fuse. If you choose to use a circuit breaker, that is sold separately.
