Marine SpeakerCoaxial speakers are the subject for today. Although these speakers are only the second in the grouping of 4 we are talking about this week, this type of marine speaker could be considered the middle of the road. Its performance is not quite as good as that of a component speaker, but is better than that of the dual cone speaker that we talked about yesterday. Let’s define coaxial for starters. This simply means that one speaker is wrapped around with another speaker. Located right in the middle of these speakers you will find the tweeter which produces all the high frequency sounds. Surrounding the tweeter, you will have the larger, more prominent woofer which is very capable of handling the lower and mid range frequencies. It would be pretty hard to go wrong if you chose this type of marine speaker for your installation. Anytime you choose marine speakers above a standard speaker when installing a sound system into a piece of equipment that will be exposed to water, you made a good choice!
