Skar Audio SK8M 8" 2-Way Marine Full Range 500 Watt Coaxial Speakers, Pair (White)

I did a set of 8" and a set of 6.5". I expected to cut fiberglass for the 8", but didn't expect to cut for the 6.5". Used a dremel pen grinder to cut the fiberglass to size. 8" came with a nice rubber gasket, 6.5" came with a 3M rubber gasket. Not 100% sure why they would be different. Thankfully the previous speakers had large spade terminals.Sound wise, they are very good! With the bass set to 4 of 6, it shakes the boat seats lol. Definitely a very nice combination of speakers at a very good price. These blow away kicker, pioneer, and are a very close second to JL audio. Definitely recovered from a 4 star for the install troubles, to a 5+ star for audio quality. Certainly better than I ever expected!!Running off of the stock JBL factory radio and they sound amazing. Can't wait to convert the system over to my BT 1500w marine amp and get it fine tuned! It can only get better!!!Highly recommend to any buyer, but expect minor size difference and slight modifications needed for install. 100% worth it!

I usually don't write reviews but I couldnt find what if they would fit in the JL 8.8 cutout. These will fit in the JL 8.8 cutouts but they are close screw hole wise. The screw holes are close to 8.8 edge but work fine as long as your hole isn't a butcher job. Are they JL sound and bass quality of the 8.8s no, absolutely not. But do they sound great especially for the money. Audio was clear even at high volume but lacking that JL bass and start to distort a a much lower volume than the 8.8 at same amp settings. Took some bass out and they are lound and clear. Seem well made but time will tell how long they last in the salt and boat environment.

These are super loud. Installed 4 in the boat and I’m more than happy. Use to use an JBL party box 310 that’s rated at 250rms and these are at least 2x louder. Decent bass as well. Amp tuning is important with them. Any speaker will pop if your gains are too high. Took me about half an hour to get them just right. They are 125 rms each, some people here think they are 250 rms each but if you read the description it says 250 rms (pair). Pretty obvious.. great value!

I installed the speakers on my side by side polaris ranger 2022 i had to cut out some plastic but it worked out ok.For the price they sound great also the base on those speakers are excellent i was impressed.
