Fusion FM-F65R 6.5" round black flush-mount marine speaker 120W

These speakers have a peak power of 120 W and an RMS (Root Mean Square) power of 30 W.

These speakers are 6.5 inches (approximately 16.5 cm) in diameter and round in shape, designed for flush mounting.

The frequency response of these speakers is 100 Hz to 18 kHz.

The nominal impedance of these speakers is 4 Ohms.

These speakers are IEC 60529 IP65 certified from the front. This means they are fully protected against dust ingress and water jets. Note that they are not designed to withstand high-pressure water jets, such as those used when washing a boat.

These speakers feature an aluminum dome tweeter, a polypropylene cone, and a rubber surround.

The sensitivity of these speakers is 87 dB (measured at 1 Watt / 1 meter).

Operating temperature range is 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F). Storage temperature range is -20 to 70°C (-4 to 158°F).

Yes, these speakers are True-Marine™ products. This means they have undergone rigorous environmental testing in harsh marine conditions to exceed industry guidelines for marine products, ensuring a robust design and reliable performance at sea.

To clean your speakers:

Clean any salt and saltwater residue with a damp cloth soaked in fresh water.Use a mild detergent to remove significant salt buildup or stains.Note: Do not use harsh or solvent-based cleaners, as they may damage the product and void the warranty.Also avoid high-pressure water jets.

The cutout diameter required for installing these round speakers is 138 mm (5 7/16 inches).

The minimum mounting depth (clearance) required is 70 mm (2 3/4 inches).

The mounting panel thickness must be between 3 mm (1/8 inch) and 25 mm (1 inch).

For installation, you will need the following tools:

A Phillips screwdriverA torque screwdriver with a Phillips bitA saw or utility knife suitable for cutting the surface materialTinned marine-grade 16 AWG (1.3 to 1.5 mm²) copper speaker wire (e.g., 3M™ 4200 or 5200)Marine sealantFemale spade connectors (4.8 mm and 6.3 mm recommended)Wire strippers (optional)Crimping tool (optional)Electrical tape (optional)

Use 16 AWG (1.3 to 1.5 mm²) tinned marine-grade speaker wire. This cable is not included with the speakers.

For the FM-F65RB speakers:

The white wire corresponds to the positive pole (+) and requires a 6.3 mm female spade connector. The white wire with a black stripe corresponds to the negative pole (-) and requires a 4.8 mm female spade connector. Female spade connectors are recommended for optimal connection.

When choosing the mounting location, consider the following points:

If the speakers are exposed to weather or water, they must be mounted on a vertical surface. Mounting on a horizontal surface facing upward can lead to water accumulation and damage.

They must be mounted well above the waterline, in a location where they will not be submerged or damaged by docks, pilings, or other equipment.

Water damage to the rear of the speaker voids the warranty.

Ensure the mounting surface is flat for optimal sealing.

Protect speaker wires from sharp objects and always use rubber grommets when routing wires through panels.

After positioning the speaker, tighten the screws by hand with a torque screwdriver to 1.0 Nm (0.74 lbf-ft). Using power tools to fully tighten the screws may damage the speaker housing.

To avoid any interference with a magnetic compass, speakers must not be mounted closer to the compass than the following distances:

From the rear: 245 cm (96.5 in)From the front: 235 cm (92.5 in)From the sides: 195 cm (76.8 in)

The recommended RMS amplifier power per channel for these speakers is 15 to 80 W.
