Overview

The same principle that makes our 7.7" marine speakers dominate over conventional 6.5" designs is delivered in a more powerful dose in our M6-880X 8.8" coaxials, with the added visual impact of our patent-pending, Transflective™ RGB LED lighting.

These 8.8" diameter monsters offer significant performance advantages over our 7.7" models, and a huge advantage over conventional 6.5" marine coaxials. Thanks to 36% more cone area and almost double the excursion capability, the M6-880X's are capable of +6 dB greater low frequency output than our M6-770X 7.7" coaxial systems! The bass is so impressive that the M6-880X can be used without a subwoofer while still packing a very serious low-frequency punch. Used with a subwoofer, they offer vastly better dynamics and mid-bass impact than smaller speakers, making them the best choice when ultimate performance is desired.

To make sure that the high-frequencies sound just as good as the bass, our engineers have designed an oversized, 1.25", silk dome tweeter for this model. This new tweeter plays louder, cleaner and extends lower in frequency to better mate with the 8.8" woofer. A multi-order, true 2-way passive crossover is concealed within the woofer chassis, shielded from vibration and corrosion. Also included, is an automatic tweeter protection circuit to minimize the possibility of tweeter failure.

Although M6-880X Coaxial Systems can be used with as little as 50W per channel, but for best audio performance we recommend amplifiers capable of between 50 - 250W of continuous power per channel. The patent-pending Transflective™ RGB LED technology emits a smooth lighting effect through the woofer cone, with a choice of several lighting colors. Add an optional RGB controller to create thousands of color variations. Professional installation is strongly recommended.

Production of all M6 loudspeakers takes place in JL Audio’s Miramar, Florida factory, using global components and materials.

Dynamic Motor Analysis - DMA Optimized Motor

JL Audio's proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system is a powerful suite of FEA-based modeling systems, first developed by JL Audio in 1997 and refined over the years to scientifically address the issue of speaker motor linearity. This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients... or put simply: tight, clean, articulate bass.

Marine Materials / Testing

The design of marine products requires extensive materials testing to achieve reliability and longevity.

Building serious marine products requires a real commitment to environmental testing and materials specification. To this end, JL Audio has invested in Ultraviolet testing chambers (to simulate years of sun exposure) and Salt Fog chambers (to simulate years of exposure to salt-water environments). This testing is critical to building products that will not only sound great in your boat, but will also sound great for many, many years.

Materials Used

  • Injection-molded mica-filled polypropylene cone bodies with synthetic rubber surrounds, specifically formulated with UV inhibitors for marine duty.
  • Marine-grade, synthetic fiber spiders with progressive roll designs to withstand high humidity.
  • Specifically engineered polymer baskets are corrosion and UV-resistant and encapsulate the woofer's motor system to prevent corrosion.
  • Gold-plated, marine-grade brass connection terminals
  • Marine-grade stainless steel mounting hardware is included.

Built-In USA with Global Components

At a time when most audio products are built overseas, JL Audio’s commitment to in-house loudspeaker production continues to grow. To pull this off in a competitive world market, our production engineering team has created one of the world’s most advanced loudspeaker assembly facilities and established a global network of quality component suppliers who build to our specifications. This, combined with our commitment to state-of-the-art assembly technology, allows our skilled workforce to efficiently build JL Audio products to extremely high quality standards, right here in the U.S.A.
