PLAY BETTER

M3 marine subwoofers are purpose-built to deliver incredible sub-bass performance in moderate power applications.

• PRODUCES AMAZING BASS IN OPEN-AIR APPLICATIONS
• ENGINEERED FOR USE WITHOUT A DEDICATED ENCLOSURE
• MODELS AVAILABLE WITH BUILT-IN RGB LED LIGHTING
• EXCEEDS INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR SALT FOG AND UV EXPOSURE

OUTSTANDING SOUND QUALITY

This is bass that will impress you, not only with its sheer level, but even more with its smoothness, balance and precision.

INFINITE BAFFLE DESIGN

M3 marine subwoofers are purpose-engineered to operate without a dedicated enclosure, needing only a moderate amount of air behind it.

POWER VERSATILITY

These subwoofers are designed to benefit from operation with quality amplification.

DMA-OPTIMIZED WOOFERS

Proprietary motor, suspension and cone modeling systems are employed, resulting in reduced distortion, improved transient performance and stellar bass sound quality.

REAL MARINE DUTY

For long-term use, all models are built to withstand saltwater marine environments and deliver years of listening enjoyment.

BUILT-IN RGB LED LIGHTING

Offered on sport models, multicolor LEDs produce a vibrant accent glow.
