JL Audio JLA-010-03064-00 M3 6.5" Marine Speakers - White Sport Grille with LED

Premium marine audio with RGB illumination — professional-grade sound engineered for Australian saltwater conditions.

Product Overview

The JL Audio M3 6.5" marine speakers with white sport grille deliver exceptional sound quality combined with customisable RGB LED lighting in a fully corrosion-resistant package. Engineered with injection-moulded mica-filled polypropylene cones and 19mm silk dome tweeters, these coaxial speakers handle 60W RMS continuous power with 89.5 dB sensitivity across a 55 Hz-25 kHz frequency range. The white sport grille provides UV-resistant protection while maintaining aesthetic appeal, and stainless steel mounting hardware ensures long-term reliability in harsh marine environments. Ideal for boats, personal watercraft, and offshore applications where audio performance and visual customisation are equally important.

Features & Benefits

Corrosion-Resistant Marine Construction: Mica-filled polypropylene cones and stainless steel hardware withstand constant saltwater exposure, UV radiation, and temperature extremes common in Australian coastal waters, offshore fishing grounds, and extended blue-water cruising.

RGB LED Illumination System: Customisable lighting operates on 10-14.4 VDC with 108mA draw, allowing colour-matched cockpit aesthetics for night fishing, wakeboarding sessions, or entertaining at anchor without draining house batteries or requiring additional lighting circuits.

Wide Frequency Response: 55 Hz-25 kHz range delivers clear vocal reproduction and extended bass response critical for cutting through engine noise, wind, and water splash during high-speed cruising, offshore work, or coastal navigation.

Efficient Power Handling: 60W RMS rating with 89.5 dB sensitivity means strong output from moderate amplifier power (20-120W recommended), preserving battery capacity during extended trips away from shore power or multi-day fishing expeditions.

Universal Mounting Compatibility: 127-133mm mounting hole range fits standard 5"-5.25" marine speaker cutouts in fibreglass consoles, hardtops, and tower enclosures without custom fabrication, oversized mounting rings, or dashboard modifications.

Silk Dome Tweeter Design: 19mm soft dome provides smooth high-frequency extension without the harshness common in metal tweeters, reducing listening fatigue during long fishing runs, multi-day coastal cruising, or extended offshore passages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these speakers fit my existing 6.5" marine speaker cutouts?

These speakers accommodate 127-133mm (5.00"-5.25") mounting holes with a 156mm bolt circle, fitting most standard marine speaker installations without modification.

How much amplifier power do I need to drive these speakers?

JL Audio recommends 20-120W RMS per channel with the 60W RMS rating providing optimal performance around 40-80W from a quality marine amplifier.

Are the LED lights controllable separately from the audio?

The RGB LED system operates independently via flying lead connection, allowing integration with vessel lighting controllers or standalone RGB control modules for full colour customisation.

What mounting depth clearance is required behind the speaker?

You'll need 71mm clearance behind the mounting surface, with the speaker requiring 96mm total depth including the 26mm frontal grille protrusion.

Can these speakers handle full saltwater immersion?

While marine-grade and corrosion-resistant, these speakers are designed for splash-resistant mounting locations, not continuous submersion—install in cockpit areas protected from direct water pooling.
