Features & Benefits
Ultra-Low-Profile Luxe Design: Premium white luxe grille with only 12mm frontal protrusion (versus 35mm on classic models) delivers sophisticated flush-mount aesthetics ideal for luxury yacht interiors, premium cabin installations, and high-end vessels requiring discreet subwoofer integration without visual intrusion into living spaces.
Dual-Configuration Versatility: Engineered for both infinite baffle (free-air) and enclosed (sealed/ported box) installations with optimized Thiele-Small parameters (Qts 0.787, Vas 15.29L), enabling flexible mounting options including under-seat locations, bulkhead installations, or custom enclosures matching available space constraints in diverse vessel configurations.
High-Excursion Bass Performance: 14mm one-way linear excursion (Xmax) with injection-moulded mica-filled polypropylene cone delivers deep low-frequency extension and high output capability handling 200W RMS continuous power with minimal distortion, enabling authoritative bass reproduction for rock, electronic, and contemporary music genres in open-air marine environments.
Included Grille Removal Tool: Luxe models include specialized grille removal tool enabling quick grille access for cleaning, maintenance, or aesthetic customization without damaging premium low-profile grille finish, simplifying long-term ownership and maintenance procedures in marine environments.
Marine-Grade Construction: Fully marinized components including UV-resistant cone materials, sealed motor structure, tinned-lead connections, and corrosion-resistant basket withstand harsh saltwater environments with extended service life in Australian coastal conditions including saltwater spray exposure, high humidity, temperature extremes, and UV degradation.
