Clarion CMQ1622RL Coaxial Speakers

Yes, these speakers carry an IPX5 rating, meaning they are designed to withstand water jets from any direction. While they are built for marine environments and resistant to salt and fog, they are not intended to be submerged.

While you can connect them directly to a marine head unit, these speakers handle 60 watts RMS, so adding an external amplifier will significantly improve sound clarity and volume, especially in an open-air environment like a boat.

No, the LED lighting on this model is a fixed, single-color blue. It is designed to provide a consistent, striking aesthetic rather than a multi-color light show.

Most standard 6.5-inch marine speaker cutouts are compatible, but you should verify your specific mounting depth. These speakers require a mounting depth of 2.375 inches, so ensure you have enough clearance behind the panel before installation.

The 1.25-inch compression horn tweeter is designed to project high frequencies more efficiently over longer distances. This helps the vocals and treble cut through the ambient noise of wind and engine sound while you are out on the water.

The speakers come as a matched pair and include stainless steel mounting hardware, which is essential for resisting corrosion in marine environments. You will still need to provide your own speaker wire and any necessary connectors for your specific boat's wiring harness.
