Detailed description

Designed for marine, powersports, and off-road environments, the JL Audio M3-650VeX-Gw-S-Gw marine tour speakers are 6.5-inch (165 mm) 2-way coaxial systems. They are housed in injection-molded enclosures featuring a bright white finish and bright white sport grilles, ensuring clear and powerful audio output.

Audio Performance and Robust Design

These speakers deliver 60 watts RMS continuous power per speaker, with a recommended amplifier power of 20 to 120 watts per channel. The system’s nominal impedance is 4 ohms, and the frequency response ranges from 100 Hz to 25 kHz (± 3 dB), with a sensitivity of 89.5 dB at 1 W / 1 m. The woofer features a mica-injected polypropylene (MIPP) cone with a synthetic rubber surround, while the tweeter is a 0.75-inch (19 mm) silk dome. The 2-way crossovers are mounted to the woofer baskets for optimal integration.

Marine Construction and Visual Integration

The enclosures measure 179 mm (7.03 in) in diameter, 156 mm (6.16 in) in depth, and 185 mm (7.27 in) in height including the mounting bracket. The design incorporates UV- and corrosion-resistant materials, including polymer baskets and grilles, synthetic rubber surrounds, and gold-plated marine-grade brass terminals. Each speaker includes a multicolor RGB LED lighting system requiring dedicated wiring connections for each color (red, green, blue) and a +12V power supply. The LED current draw is 108 mA at 12V DC, with a voltage range of 10 to 14.4V DC and a recommended 150 mA fuse. An RGB lighting controller (sold separately) is required for adjustable color control.

Installation and Aesthetics

The system ships with a rotating clamp bracket for precise positioning when mounting to a flat surface, safety arch, or tower structure. Mounting clamps are sold separately. Each enclosure features a bright white finish and a rotatable Lexan logo appliqué to suit various mounting positions. Weather protection is provided for durable marine use.

Expert opinion

« JL Audio M3-650VeX-Gw-S-Gw: Directional audio performance and marine-grade robustness »

The JL Audio M3-650VeX-Gw-S-Gw tower speakers are specifically designed to deliver high-quality sound in open and noisy environments, such as sport boats, off-road vehicles, or UTVs. Their sealed enclosure design is a major advantage, as it optimizes the acoustic performance of the 6.5-inch speakers, which is difficult to achieve with standard flush-mount enclosures. This setup helps overcome wind and engine noise, ensuring clear listening even at high speeds.

The integration of RGB LED lighting adds both aesthetic and functional value, allowing customization of the onboard ambiance. However, it is critical to note that this feature requires dedicated wiring (a six-conductor multifunction cable per speaker, including two audio wires and four wires for the LEDs) and the purchase of an external RGB controller for full color management. The installation of the mounting collars, sold separately, must be done precisely to utilize the rotating receiver that allows optimal sound orientation. It is also imperative to include an inline fuse for the +12V LED power line, as recommended by the manufacturer, for electrical safety.

These speakers stand out for their marine-grade robustness, resulting from rigorous UV and salt mist chamber testing. They are an ideal solution for users seeking a high-performance, durable directional audio system capable of withstanding demanding marine conditions while offering a touch of visual customization. They are particularly well-suited for installations where mounting on a tower or arch is preferred, providing superior sound dispersion compared to surface-mounted speakers.

What is the continuous RMS power rating supported by each speaker?

Each JL Audio M3-650VEX marine tower speaker can handle a continuous RMS power of 60 W.

What type of amplifier is recommended for these speakers?

It is recommended to use an amplifier delivering an RMS power output between 20 and 120 W per channel to power these JL Audio M3-650VEX marine tower speakers.

What is the nominal impedance of these speakers?

The nominal impedance of these JL Audio M3-650VEX marine tower speakers is 4 ohms (4Ω).

What is the frequency response of these speakers?

The frequency response of these JL Audio M3-650VEX marine tower speakers is 100 Hz to 25 kHz ± 3 dB.

Are these speakers equipped with LED lighting?
