Osculati 2-Way Marine Speakers, 60W/80W Waterproof Coaxial (White Pair)

The Osculati 2-Way Marine Speakers are engineered to bring quality sound to your boat without sacrificing durability. Featuring a coaxial two-way design, each speaker contains a dedicated high-frequency tweeter and a low/midrange woofer. This configuration yields far clearer audio reproduction than standard single-cone speakers – crisp, detailed highs (vocals, cymbals, instrumentals) and robust, resonant lows (bass guitars, drums). You’ll appreciate the richness of your music and the clarity of voice announcements even in the open-air environment of a boat.

These speakers are built to withstand marine conditions. The construction is water-resistant and UV-stabilized: the housings are made of high-strength ABS plastic that won’t degrade or crack under long-term sun exposure. The front grilles protect the speaker cones and are corrosion-proof. Tested for use in humid, salty environments, the speakers can handle spray, rain showers, and sea mist without issues. (They are not meant for prolonged submersion, but they excel in all typical on-deck or cabin situations.)

Models & Power: Osculati offers two sizes in this line – a 6.5-inch (Ø160mm) model, rated 60W max per pair (30W each), and a larger 7.4-inch (Ø188mm) model, rated 80W max per pair (40W each). The RMS power (~20-25W per speaker) ensures they can play continuously at high volume without distortion or damage. The 6.5" set is excellent for small to medium boats (4–6 m) or installations where space is at a premium, while the 7.4" set offers higher volume output and deeper bass – great for larger vessels (above ~6–7 m) or for owners who want the fullest sound experience out on the water. You can also install multiple pairs to cover different zones of your boat: cabin, cockpit, flybridge, etc., creating an immersive sound environment.

Audio Performance: With their broad frequency response, these speakers cover the entire spectrum needed for music and alerts. Their sensitivity and 4Ω impedance make them compatible with most marine stereos and amplifiers. The built-in magnets are of high strength (grade Y25), contributing to improved speaker control and better bass performance. Note that this also necessitates respecting the recommended distance from your magnetic compass (minimum 1.1 m) so as not to interfere with navigation readings. Mounted with proper spacing, any interference is negligible and you’ll enjoy great sound without affecting your instruments.

Installation: The speakers are flush-mount units – they fit into cutouts in your boat’s panels or console. The standard cutout diameters (125mm for the 6.5” and 144mm for the 7.4”) make it easy to replace or upgrade from other common marine speakers. Stainless steel mounting screws are provided for secure installation. The speakers have a shallow mounting depth of only ~57mm, qualifying them as ultra-slim profiles – they won’t hog precious space behind the panel, leaving more room for other equipment or cabling. This is particularly beneficial for smaller helm stations or thin-walled enclosures.

Once installed, only the sleek round grille is visible (supplied in classic white), blending nicely with typical marine interiors. The white finish resists heat buildup in sunlight and complements most boat color schemes. (If desired, black grille versions may be available via special order, depending on stock.)

Usage & Recommendations: These Osculati speakers are ideal for pairing with your marine audio system – be it a CD/MP3 player, marine head unit, or external amplifier. They allow you to enjoy your favorite music in full richness while cruising or relaxing at anchor. They also render spoken VHF radio calls or GPS alarms with clarity, which enhances safety (you won’t miss important alerts due to muffled audio). For even richer sound, you might consider adding a subwoofer to cover ultra-low frequencies, resulting in an audiophile-grade setup at sea.

With Osculati’s renowned Italian quality, these speakers are built to last for many seasons. They require minimal maintenance – a quick rinse with fresh water after heavy salt exposure will keep them clean and salt-free. With proper care, they’ll continue to perform admirably year after year, enhancing the comfort and enjoyment of your time on board.
