It occurred to me that just because you happen to be holding something termed marine speakers in your hands, does that mean that you’re limited to using them only on your boat? No. True, they are designed for use around water and true, they can easily withstand a dunk into salt water without any ill effects, but why limit your thinking to what they were designed for??

Really the only basic difference between a normal speaker and a marine speaker is that marine speakers have cones made from Mylar insteadBoss SubWoofer Speaker of paper. Some manufacturers use polypropylene in their manufacturing process and other key features like a rubber skirting over the screws that hold the drivers in, but basically we have a standard speaker that is much more durable than a normal speaker.

Because of the way marine speakers are built, why not s t r e t c h our thinking to include other possibilities for using marine speakers. Since the very nature of a marine speaker puts them into a special “more durable” category, why not cash in on this idea and install them on your 4-wheeler or open ATV? Take a cruise on the trails or mud! Listen to music near your hot tub or pool! We just opened up a whole new world, didn’t we?
