PioneerTS-MR1600 6.5” Speakers (Pair) – 100W Max, Water-Resistant + UV-Protected, Built for Boats, UTV, ATV, SXS, Outdoor, Marine, All Purpose Speakers

Speakers sound pretty good for their size and were a direct replacement for my Chris Craft boat speakers.

Sound great put them on a JL audio marine amp and they get loud before distorting have had them for a while now and they still work and look great like they just came out the box

This is the second pair I've owned. The first pair, powered by a Pioneer amplifier, lasted about five seasons on my boat. This pair is being powered by a Pyle PLMRMP2A amplifier (which allows me to plug my iphone into the speakers without needing a radio or other amplifier). The speakers have a combination of 0.25" and 0.110" quick connects which appear to be gold plated. I found the correct size in gold-plating at the local Auto Zone. After making the proper connections, I sprayed the entire connection area of the back of the speaker with a generous coating of marine-grade anti-corrosion spray (corrosion here was the cause of the failure of the first pair). They come with mounting screws and the appropriate gasket. The sound is great despite the harsh conditions and getting sprayed with salt water on a regular basis. At the end of each day, the exterior gets rinsed off with fresh water. For the price, if I can get three to five seasons from them, I'll be a happy camper.

These speakers sound terrific in a marine application. I just replaced them on my Ranger Bass Boat - and Amazon's pricing is outstanding compared to some of the other online retailers. Solid bass and sweet highs - perfect for the water! Install was easy. Two things that will help you during install: 1) In drilling your holes for your speakers - start at a lower diameter ( smaller drill bit ) than Pioneer recommends so that the screws will tighten and adhere to the fiberglass. 2) The speaker connectors on the Pioneer speakers are not the same size for positive and negative ( another reviewer mentioned this as well below ). I crimped my existing speaker wire connectors with my pliers ( go slowly and take your time ) and made them smaller so that they would fit onto the Pioneers. Of course - you can always buy the smaller connectors and rewire as well. Hope this helps you - all in all - very worthwhile upgrade!P.S. One other thing that you need to remember ... when you evaluate how these really sound ... make sure you are using a high-quality music source - like a streaming service ( Spotify ) - or 'FLAC' like track if possible. FM radio will simply not do this justice. 'Garbage in - Garbage out' ... hope that helps!

Great response and clarity wi the very good lows from a full range speaker. Love them.

I installed four eight inch pioneer speakers in my 25 foot open fisherman. They are connected to a Sony 600 watt (60 watts RMS) Marine Amplifier. These speakers sound great. THEY WILL NOT PLAY WELL WITHOUT AN AMPLIFIER (nominal rating is 40 watts RMS). They are the best value and are unmatched by any competitor in their price range. In order to get a better sounding speaker you will have to pay nearly twice as much, but those expensive speakers will not sound twice as good. In addition, pioneer marine speakers will hold up very well when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. I did not use a boat cover and the speakers still sound great 18 months later. Bass response is just OK but mids and highs are awesome. For deep bass you will need to add subwoofers and a mono amp as I did (two 10s). I highly recommend pioneer to any consumer. If you only want to listen to the speakers while inside the boat, you can mount them low, however if you intend on listening to the speakers while anchored at a beach/sandbar, choose the highest place available to mount them. I have a pair on the sides of my center console at the highest point, since I often listen to music while the boat is anchored and I am in the water. These Pioneer speakers sound crisp even from 50 feet away.

Arrived just on time, very easy to install, great sound, looks very sturdy, fits nice on the boat, great look

Replaced wet sound speakers with these pioneer speakers. Sound great. Came as advertised. We’ll see how they hold up in a saltwater environment
