JL Audio JLA-010-03090-00 M6 6.5" Marine Speakers - White Sport Grille

Premium marine audio with integrated LED lighting — M6 Sport series delivers reference-grade sound quality with Transflective™ illumination and aggressive styling for Australian offshore conditions.

Product Overview

The JL Audio M6 6.5" marine speakers with white sport grilles deliver reference-grade sound quality with integrated Transflective™ LED lighting in a corrosion-resistant package. Engineered with injection-moulded mica-filled polypropylene cones and 20mm silk dome tweeters, these coaxial speakers handle 75W RMS continuous power with 89.5 dB sensitivity across a 55 Hz-25 kHz frequency range. Sport models feature multi-colour LED illumination adding visual impact to premium audio performance during night cruising, offshore fishing, or coastal entertainment.

Features & Benefits

Transflective™ LED Lighting System: Integrated multi-colour LED illumination with 10-14.4 VDC operation creates stunning visual effects during night cruising, dock parties, or offshore entertainment, with 324mA current draw enabling vibrant lighting without excessive battery drain in marine electrical systems.

Sport Grille Styling: Aggressive white sport grille design with 26mm frontal protrusion provides bold aesthetic presence and enhanced driver protection compared to low-profile models, ideal for performance-oriented vessels, fishing boats, and recreational craft requiring durable marine audio with visual impact.

Marine-Grade Corrosion Protection: Fully marinized component construction with UV-resistant materials, sealed motor structures, and corrosion-resistant hardware provides reliable long-term performance in harsh saltwater environments including coastal cruising, offshore fishing, and tropical marine conditions with sustained exposure to spray, humidity, and sunlight.

Mica-Filled Polypropylene Cone Technology: Advanced injection-moulded cone material delivers exceptional rigidity, controlled damping characteristics, and superior moisture resistance compared to paper or treated fabric cones, ensuring consistent audio performance in high-humidity marine environments with temperature fluctuations and continuous vibration.

20mm Silk Dome Tweeter: Premium soft dome tweeter design provides smooth high-frequency reproduction, wide dispersion characteristics, and fatigue-free listening during extended passages, critical for offshore entertainment, communication clarity, and all-day coastal cruising in demanding Australian marine conditions.

75W RMS Continuous Power Handling: Robust thermal management and voice coil design supports continuous 75W power with 150W peak capacity, enabling dynamic headroom for transient peaks during music reproduction and ensuring distortion-free performance when driven by quality marine amplifiers or powered head units.

High Sensitivity Design: 89.5 dB efficiency rating (1W/1m) maximizes output from moderate amplifier power, reducing system requirements while maintaining premium sound quality ideal for battery-conscious marine installations, off-grid vessel operations, and direct head unit connection without external amplification.

4-Ohm Nominal Impedance: Standard impedance rating ensures broad compatibility with marine head units, aftermarket amplifiers, and multi-speaker configurations while maintaining stable load characteristics during extended operation in varying temperature conditions and demanding marine environments.

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 with full-range audio reproduction and minimal distortion.

Easy LED Connection: Flying lead with 4-conductor 20 AWG wire simplifies LED wiring integration with compatible marine head units or dedicated LED controllers, enabling colour customization, brightness adjustment, and synchronized lighting effects across multi-zone marine audio systems.

Caution: Verify mounting depth clearance (76mm minimum) and mounting hole diameter (127-133mm) before installation. Sport models require LED wiring connection for lighting functionality. Ensure marine electrical system can support 324mA LED current draw per speaker pair. UV exposure may fade LED illumination over extended periods in tropical conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these speakers come as a pair or individually?

This model is sold as a PAIR (two speakers) for complete stereo installation. The package includes two speakers with white sport grilles, mounting hardware, and LED wiring harnesses for both units.

How do I connect the LED lighting on these Sport speakers?

Sport models include flying leads with 4-conductor 20 AWG wire. Connect to compatible marine head units with LED control outputs or use dedicated LED controllers. Wire colour coding enables multi-colour illumination and brightness adjustment through compatible control systems.

Will these Sport speakers fit the same cutouts as Classic speakers?

Yes, Sport and Classic 6.5" models share identical mounting dimensions (127-133mm mounting hole, 156mm bolt circle, 76mm clearance). The main difference is 2mm additional grille protrusion (26mm vs 24mm) and integrated LED lighting on Sport models.

What's the current draw for the LED lighting system?

Each speaker pair draws 324mA at 14.4 VDC for full LED illumination. This minimal current draw won't significantly impact marine battery systems but should be considered when calculating total electrical load for multi-zone LED lighting installations.

Can I use these speakers without connecting the LED lighting?

Yes, speakers function perfectly without LED connection. The audio performance is identical whether LEDs are connected or not. Simply leave the LED flying leads disconnected if you don't require lighting functionality, or tape them off to prevent corrosion.
