Garmin XS Series Coaxial Speakers

Yes, they carry an IP65 rating, which means they are fully protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. They are specifically engineered to withstand the harsh, wet conditions of a marine environment.

While these speakers have a peak power handling of 200W, they are efficient enough to be driven by most marine head units. However, adding an external amplifier will provide cleaner, more consistent power, which helps prevent distortion at higher volumes.

You will need a mounting depth clearance of 70.3 mm (2-3/4 inches) and a mounting diameter clearance of 180 mm (7-1/16 inches). Ensure you measure your intended mounting location carefully before cutting any panels.

The XS Series is built with materials specifically treated to resist UV degradation and salt fog corrosion. This ensures the cones and surrounds won't become brittle or discolored after prolonged exposure to the marine elements.

If you are comfortable with basic wiring and cutting holes in fiberglass or plastic panels, these are straightforward to install as a flush-mount unit. If you are unsure about your boat's electrical system or structural integrity, a professional marine installer is recommended.

These speakers feature an acoustically enhanced open-backed basket and aluminum dome tweeters, which provide a crisp, full-range sound. They are designed to cut through ambient wind and engine noise, delivering clear audio even while underway.
