Why Choose Wet Sounds REV 696 RS Marine Speakers?
Revolution-Grade Marine Driver Upgrade
Engineered by Wet Sounds, this professional marine audio driver delivers powerful, crystal-clear sound while standing up to sun exposure, moisture, and constant vibration. Built with Revolution Series acoustic engineering and advanced 3D design, it maximizes output and efficiency in a compact footprint. Designed as a raw replacement driver, it drops directly into existing 6x9 wakeboard tower enclosures—making it an easy, high-performance upgrade without changing your setup.
Long-Throw Tower Audio Performance
This pro-axial titanium HLCD design delivers powerful, crystal-clear highs that carry cleanly over long distances. A Kevlar-reinforced epoxy fiberglass cone with a durable polyurethane surround produces punchy mid-bass while standing up to harsh marine conditions. Precisely tuned for wakeboard towers, it cuts through wind, engine noise, and open water so both riders and passengers hear every detail.
Efficient High-Output Marine Performance
Delivers powerful, clear sound with just 150 watts RMS per speaker, maximizing volume and detail without wasting amplifier power. Built with true marine-certified materials, it’s designed to perform reliably in harsh boating conditions including sun, moisture, and constant vibration.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Why does the sound become harsh or too bright at higher volume?
The titanium horn-loaded compression driver is designed for high output and projection. Excessive gain or treble settings can make the highs sound aggressive, so proper tuning is important.
- • Why is the midbass weaker than I expected?
These drivers can improve midbass over smaller tower speakers, but enclosure design, amplifier power, crossover settings, and installation can significantly affect low-frequency performance.
- • Why do I hear distortion when playing music loudly?
Distortion can result from amplifier clipping, excessive gain, or insufficient clean power. Verify the amplifier is properly matched and reduce gain or bass boost if necessary.
- • Will these fit my existing 6x9 wakeboard tower enclosure?
They are designed as raw drivers for compatible 6x9 tower enclosures, but you should verify the cutout and available depth before installation.
- • Why won't the driver fit even though my enclosure is listed as 6x9?
Speaker openings and internal depth can vary between enclosures. Check the required cutout dimensions and 6.75-inch depth with the crossover before modifying the enclosure.
- • Why does one side sound quieter than the other?
Check amplifier channels, speaker wiring, polarity, gain settings, and crossover connections. Swapping the left and right channels can help determine whether the issue is wiring or the driver.
- • Why is there no sound from one driver after installation?
Inspect the speaker terminals, crossover connections, amplifier output, and wiring for loose or damaged connections. Incorrect wiring can also prevent the compression driver from operating properly.
- • Do I need a powerful amplifier to get good performance?
Each speaker is rated at 150 watts RMS at 4 ohms. A quality amplifier capable of delivering appropriate clean RMS power will provide better output and headroom.
- • Why does the speaker rattle after being installed in the tower enclosure?
Loose mounting hardware, an uneven enclosure surface, or vibration around the grille can cause rattling. Check the mounting screws and enclosure for secure contact.
- • Can prolonged sun, water, and vibration damage the speakers?
They are built for demanding marine environments, but excessive water exposure, harsh chemicals, improper installation, and prolonged environmental abuse can still cause damage over time.
