Rockford Fosgate M2WL-8HB M2 Series 8 Inch 2-Way Horn Loaded Wake Tower Speakers in Black - Pair
A pair of marine grade 8 inch 2-way horn loaded wake tower speakers in black with Color Optix RGB LED lighting, 300W RMS handling, and a universal clamping system for bars from 1.5 to 3.0 inches in diameter. Loaded sealed enclosures featuring an integrated 1 inch high-efficiency horn tweeter for superior projection to skiers and wakeboarders, dual Deutsch/Amphenol 6-pin marine connectors in two locations, and 360-degree rotating 3DIL rear logo. Sold as a pair. Backed by a 2 year warranty.
Product Overview
The Rockford Fosgate M2WL-8HB is a pair of M2 series 8 inch 2-way horn loaded wake tower speaker enclosures in black, built on the same platform as the M2WL-8H but in a black finish. Each enclosure houses the M2-8HB driver featuring an integrated 1 inch (25mm) high-efficiency horn tweeter designed to project music further and with greater clarity toward the skier or wakeboarder at distance. Power handling is 300W RMS and 1200W peak, with a frequency response of 20Hz-25kHz.
Each enclosure is constructed from 100% UV stable high-density ASA plastic with IPX6 water intrusion rating and full Element Ready protection against dust, UV radiation, temperature extremes, corrosion, and vibration. The included universal clamp system mounts to wake tower bars from 1.5 to 3.0 inches in diameter with 360 degrees of rotation for precise aiming. Direct mounting is also supported for compatible tower bars. Dual integrated Deutsch/Amphenol 6-pin connectors in two locations support both thru-clamp and direct-mount configurations. Deutsch DT connectors incorporate front and rear silicone seals against environmental ingress. The ICC (Integrated Concealed Crossover) is hidden inside the basket for a cleaner installation.
Color Optix RGB LED lighting is fully controllable via the PMX-RGB controller and RF Connect app (available on iOS and Android, sold separately). The 3DIL (3D Illuminated Logo) technology allows the rear Rockford Fosgate medallion to rotate 360 degrees so it remains correctly oriented regardless of mounting angle. Both stainless steel and black sport grilles are included. The white version of these speakers is available as the M2WL-8H. For a standard (non-horn) black wake tower speaker, refer to the M2WL-8B. Klippel Verified certification and VAST surround technology are applied throughout.
Features & Benefits
Integrated 1 Inch Horn Tweeter - Superior Projection at Distance: The integrated 1 inch (25mm) high-efficiency horn tweeter projects high-frequency sound further and with greater directional accuracy toward the skier or wakeboarder than a conventional dome tweeter, delivering clear, far-reaching audio across the full 20Hz-25kHz frequency response.
300W RMS / 1200W Peak Power Handling: The M2-8HB driver handles 300W RMS and 1200W peak, providing ample headroom for high-volume outdoor use on the water in demanding listening environments.
Color Optix RGB LED Lighting - App Controlled: The Color Optix system delivers bright, wide-angle RGB illumination across both the front speaker LEDs and the rear 3DIL medallion, controllable via the PMX-RGB controller and RF Connect app on iOS and Android. Colour, effects, and intensity are fully customisable to match any vessel or personal style.
3DIL Technology - 360-Degree Rotating Rear Logo: The 3D Illuminated Logo (3DIL) rotates a full 360 degrees so the illuminated Rockford Fosgate rear medallion is always correctly oriented regardless of mounting angle, maintaining a professional appearance from any viewing position.
Universal Clamping System - 1.5 to 3.0 Inch Bars: The included universal clamps fit wake tower bars from 1.5 to 3.0 inches in diameter with full 360-degree rotation for precise speaker aiming. Rubber inserts for both 1.5-2.5 inch and 2.5-3.0 inch bars are included. Dual Deutsch/Amphenol connector locations support both thru-clamp and direct-mount installation methods.
VAST Surround Technology - Up to 25% More Cone Area: Rockford Fosgate's Vertical Attach Surround Technique attaches the surround vertically to the cone, increasing the effective radiating cone area by up to 25% for more output from the same physical speaker size.
ICC Crossover - Integrated and Concealed: The Integrated Concealed Crossover is hidden inside the basket, resulting in a cleaner external appearance and simplifying installation by eliminating a separate crossover component.
100% UV Stable ASA Construction with IPX6 Rating: The frame and grille are constructed from 100% UV stable ASA plastic. IPX6 water intrusion rating confirms protection against powerful jets of water from any direction. Gold-plated marine grade brass terminals and Deutsch DT connectors with front and rear silicone seals protect against environmental ingress throughout the service life of the speakers.

The M2WL-8HB suits wakeboard boats, ski boats, pontoon boats, and any marine or powersports craft fitted with wake tower bars from 1.5 to 3.0 inches in diameter. It is the recommended choice for black-themed builds where audio needs to project clearly to riders at tow sport distances. The white version is available as the M2WL-8H. For a standard (non-horn) black tower speaker, refer to the M2WL-8B.
Goes Well With:
PMX-RGB - Rockford Fosgate Color Optix RGB controller required to operate the full Color Optix lighting system and RF Connect app integration
M5-800X4 - M5 series 800W 4-channel marine amplifier to power the M2WL-8HB pair alongside additional marine speakers
M5-1500X5 - M5 series 1500W 5-channel marine amplifier for full system builds including wake tower speakers and a marine subwoofer
M210S4B / M212S4 - Rockford Fosgate M2 series marine subwoofers to complete the on-water audio system
M2WL-8H - White version of these speakers for colour-matched white installations
M2WL-8B - Black non-horn version for applications where directional projection at distance is less critical
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the M2WL-8HB and the M2WL-8B?
Both are black 8 inch M2 series wake tower speakers with Color Optix lighting, the same clamping system, and the same bar diameter compatibility. The M2WL-8HB is the horn-loaded version, featuring an integrated 1 inch high-efficiency horn tweeter that projects high-frequency sound further and with greater directional accuracy toward the skier or wakeboarder. It handles 300W RMS / 1200W peak versus 250W RMS / 1000W peak on the M2WL-8B. Choose the M2WL-8HB for tow sport applications where projection at distance is a priority; choose the M2WL-8B for general on-water listening where directional projection is less critical.
What is the difference between the M2WL-8HB and the M2WL-8H?
The M2WL-8HB and M2WL-8H are identical in specifications and features. The only difference is the enclosure colour - the M2WL-8HB is black with black sport grilles, and the M2WL-8H is white with white sport grilles. Choose based on the colour scheme of your boat or wake tower setup.
Does the Color Optix lighting require a separate controller?
Yes. Color Optix RGB lighting requires the PMX-RGB controller and the RF Connect app (available on iOS and Android) to access full colour control, lighting effects, and brightness adjustment for both the front speaker LEDs and the rear 3DIL medallion. The PMX-RGB controller is sold separately and is not included. The speakers can also operate without the controller at a fixed default colour setting straight out of the box.
What wake tower bar sizes are compatible with the included clamps?
The included universal clamps fit bars from 1.5 to 3.0 inches in diameter. Rubber inserts for 1.5-2.5 inch bars and 2.5-3.0 inch bars are both included in the box. The speakers can also be direct mounted to compatible tower bars, with Deutsch/Amphenol connector locations provided for both thru-clamp and direct-mount configurations.
Are additional grille styles available beyond what is included in the box?
Yes. The box includes both stainless steel and black sport grilles. Rockford Fosgate offers additional grille options separately to further personalise the look of the M2WL-8HB to match the style of your vessel or powersports vehicle.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers

What is 3DIL technology and why does it matter?
3DIL (3D Illuminated Logo) allows the illuminated Rockford Fosgate rear emblem to rotate a full 365 degrees independently of the speaker enclosure. This means the logo remains correctly oriented and readable regardless of the angle the speaker is mounted at on the tower, maintaining a clean and professional appearance from any viewing position.

The M2WL-8HB is the horn-loaded version, featuring an integrated 1 inch high-efficiency horn tweeter that projects high-frequency sound further and with greater directional accuracy toward the skier or wakeboarder. It also handles more power at 300W RMS / 1200W peak versus 250W RMS / 1000W peak on the M2WL-8B. Choose the M2WL-8HB if projection at tow sport distances is a priority.
Does the Color Optix lighting require a separate controller?
Yes. Color Optix RGB lighting requires the PMX-RGB controller and the RF Connect app (available on iOS and Android) to access full colour control, lighting effects, and brightness adjustment for both the front speaker LEDs and the rear 3DIL medallion. The PMX-RGB controller is sold separately and is not included in the box.
What wake tower bar sizes are compatible with the included clamps?
The included universal clamps fit bars from 1.5 to 3.0 inches in diameter. Rubber inserts for 1.5-2.5 inch bars and 2.5-3.0 inch bars are both included in the box. The speakers can also be direct mounted to compatible tower bars, with Deutsch/Amphenol connector locations provided for both thru-clamp and direct-mount configurations.
Are additional grille styles available beyond what is included in the box?
Yes. The box includes both stainless steel and black sport grilles. Rockford Fosgate offers additional grille options separately to further personalise the look of the M2WL-8B to match the style of your vessel or powersports vehicle.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the M5-1500X5 and the M5-800X4?
The M5-800X4 is a 4-channel amplifier rated at 800W total, using Class-AD topology across all channels with 8 AWG power wiring. The M5-1500X5 is a 5-channel amplifier rated at 1500W total, adding a dedicated Class-BD subwoofer channel capable of 600W RMS at 2-ohm, and requires 4 AWG power wiring for the higher current demand. Choose the M5-1500X5 for builds requiring both full-range and subwoofer amplification from a single unit; choose the M5-800X4 for full-range speaker applications where a separate subwoofer amplifier is not needed.
What is Class-BD and how does it differ from Class-AD?
Class-AD is used on the four full-range channels to produce more power with less current draw from the charging system, improving overall efficiency. Class-BD is a patented Rockford Fosgate topology used on the dedicated subwoofer channel, delivering 75-80% efficiency versus 20-60% for traditional Class-A/B designs. The combination of both topologies in one amplifier ensures each channel type operates at its optimal efficiency for the task it is performing.
What does the PRESET feature do?
The PRESET feature removes the need to manually set up and tune the M5-1500X5 when it is used with compatible Rockford Fosgate UTV audio kits. Rather than adjusting gain, crossover, and tone control settings individually during installation, the amplifier arrives pre-configured for the matching kit, reducing setup time and eliminating the risk of incorrect settings.
What is the infrasonic filter and when should I use it?
The infrasonic filter on the subwoofer channel attenuates frequencies below 30Hz at 12dB/octave. Subsonic frequencies below the audible range cannot be heard but can cause excessive cone excursion in subwoofer drivers at high volume, potentially leading to damage over time. Enabling the infrasonic filter is recommended for most sealed and vented subwoofer installations, particularly when the source material may include subsonic content such as DJ music or poorly mastered recordings.
What fuse is required for the M5-1500X5 and is it included?
The M5-1500X5 requires an 80A MAXI fuse (Littelfuse part number 0299080). The fuse is not included in the box and must be sourced separately. Given the M5-1500X5's maximum current draw of up to 123A at sinewave, it is critical to install the fuse as close to the battery as possible in the 4 AWG power supply line.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the M5-1000X1 and the M5-800X4?
The M5-1000X1 is a monoblock subwoofer amplifier with a single Class-BD channel delivering up to 750W RMS at 2-ohm, designed exclusively to drive a subwoofer. Its frequency response is limited to 30Hz-245Hz and it features only a low-pass crossover and infrasonic filter. The M5-800X4 is a 4-channel full-range amplifier delivering 100W x 4 at 4-ohm across a 10Hz-50kHz frequency response, suited to powering speakers rather than a subwoofer. In most full marine audio builds, both amplifiers are used together.
What subwoofer impedance gives the best output from the M5-1000X1?
The M5-1000X1 delivers its highest rated continuous output at 2-ohm (750W RMS) and its highest dynamic output at 1-ohm (1000W dynamic). At 4-ohm, rated continuous output is 500W RMS. For the best balance of output and reliability in a marine environment, pairing the M5-1000X1 with a 2-ohm or dual voice coil subwoofer wired to 2-ohm is recommended.
Is the M5-1000X1 suitable for saltwater marine environments?
Yes. The M5-1000X1 carries IPX6 water intrusion rating and full Element Ready certification with integrated harness and panel seals, protecting it against water jets from any direction, UV radiation, corrosion, dust, vibration, and temperature extremes. It is designed for both freshwater and saltwater marine applications.
What does the infrasonic filter do and should I enable it?
The infrasonic filter attenuates frequencies below 30Hz at 12dB/octave on the output channel. Subsonic content below this threshold cannot be heard but can cause excessive cone excursion in subwoofer drivers at high output levels, risking damage over time. Enabling the infrasonic filter is recommended for most marine subwoofer installations, particularly at high volumes or when the source material may include subsonic content.
What fuse is required for the M5-1000X1 and is it included?
The M5-1000X1 requires a 70A MAXI fuse (Littelfuse part number 0299070). Note this is a 70A fuse - different from the 80A MAXI used on the M5-800X4 and M5-1500X5. The fuse is not included in the box and must be sourced separately. Install it as close to the battery as possible in the 8 AWG power supply line.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers

Fully controllable via the PMX-RGB controller and RF Connect app on iOS and Android. The PMX-RGB controller is sold separately.
12dB/Octave Sealed ICC Crossover with Metallised Polyester Film Capacitors: The 12dB/octave sealed ICC crossover provides steeper, more precise signal separation than the 6dB/octave crossovers used in M1 and M0 series speakers, protecting the tweeter diaphragm and delivering cleaner woofer-tweeter integration in a compact 6.5 inch format.
TPE Surround with VAST Technology - Up to 25% More Cone Area: The UV and salt-fog resistant TPE surround is co-moulded to the cone and attaches vertically via Rockford Fosgate's patented VAST technique, increasing the effective radiating cone area by up to 25% and delivering more output from the same 6.5 inch footprint.
Laminated PXNX Dome Tweeter with Dual Neodymium Motor: The 1 inch (25.4mm) laminated PXNX dome tweeter features a dual neodymium magnet motor, contributing to the 91.8dB sensitivity rating and smooth high-frequency response up to 24kHz.
Vented Motor with Nano-Coated Water-Repelling Mesh Screen: The vented motor design allows heat to dissipate from the voice coil assembly at high output levels, while the nano-coated mesh screen repels water from the motor assembly in demanding marine environments.
Aramid-Polyester Composite Spider and PA66 Glass-Fill Frame: The aramid-polyester composite spider delivers superior excursion linearity and fatigue resistance. The ultra-high temperature PA66 frame with 30% glass fill and UV inhibitors provides a rigid, thermally stable, and UV resistant mounting structure.
Interchangeable Grille Options - Stainless Steel and Sport Inserts Included: Both stainless steel and sport grille inserts are included in the box, with additional grille options available separately for further customisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What impedance settings does the VersaSwitch provide on the M1D4-12B?
The M1D4-12B uses DVC 4-ohm voice coils. The VersaSwitch configures the coils to parallel (2-ohm total) or series (8-ohm total) without any rewiring. Use the 2-ohm setting when pairing with an amplifier rated for lower impedance loads for maximum output, or the 8-ohm setting for amplifiers better suited to a higher impedance. Contact us if you need help selecting the correct setting for your amplifier.
What enclosure types are compatible with the M1D4-12B?
The M1D4-12B is compatible with both sealed (1.65 cu.ft / 46.72 litres) and vented (2.45 cu.ft / 69.38 litres) enclosure configurations. A sealed enclosure delivers tighter, more accurate bass with a shallower roll-off, while a vented enclosure produces more output at the tuning frequency with a steeper low-frequency roll-off below the port tuning point. Choose based on your installation space and preferred bass character.
What is the difference between the M1D4-12B and the M2D4-12I?
The M1D4-12B is the M1 series 12 inch DVC 4-ohm subwoofer in black, compatible with sealed and vented enclosures, using a Santoprene VAST surround and linear synthetic fiber blend spider. The M2D4-12I is the premium M2 series 12 inch DVC 4-ohm infinite baffle subwoofer, optimised for free-air hull mounting without an enclosure, featuring ASTM-tested construction and industry-first moulded in-frame connectors. The VersaSwitch settings also differ: M1D4-12B switches between 2-ohm and 8-ohm, while M2D4-12I switches between 2-ohm and 8-ohm as well. Choose the M1D4-12B for sealed or vented enclosure builds; choose the M2D4-12I for infinite baffle installations where no enclosure is available.
Is the M1D4-12B sold as a single unit or as a pair?
The M1D4-12B is sold individually - one subwoofer per purchase. If your installation requires two subwoofers, two units will need to be added to the order.
Does the Color Optix lighting require a separate controller?
Yes. Color Optix RGB lighting requires the PMX-RGB controller and the RF Connect app (available on iOS and Android) to access full colour control, lighting effects, and brightness adjustment. The PMX-RGB controller is sold separately. The subwoofer can also be used without the controller at a fixed default colour setting straight out of the box.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers

Rockford Fosgate M1D4-10B M1 Series 10 Inch DVC 4-Ohm Color Optix Marine Subwoofer in Black
A marine grade 10 inch dual voice coil 4-ohm subwoofer in black with Color Optix RGB LED lighting, 300W RMS handling, and VersaSwitch impedance selection between 2-ohm and 8-ohm. Santoprene VAST surround, mineral-filled polypropylene cone, vented motor with nano-coated mesh screen, and integrated Deutsch/Amphenol plug-and-play connectors. Compatible with sealed (1.1 cu.ft) and vented (1.45 cu.ft) enclosures. IPX6 rated and ASTM B117 and G154 tested. Sold individually (1 each). Backed by a 2 year warranty.
Product Overview
The Rockford Fosgate M1D4-10B is an M1 series 10 inch dual voice coil (DVC) 4-ohm marine subwoofer in black, featuring Color Optix RGB LED illumination controllable via the PMX-RGB controller and RF Connect app (available on iOS and Android, sold separately). It shares the same M1 series platform and construction as the M1D4-12B but in a more compact 10 inch format, with smaller sealed (1.1 cu.ft) and vented (1.45 cu.ft) enclosure requirements suited to vessels with less available space.
The VersaSwitch allows impedance to be changed between 2-ohm (parallel) and 8-ohm (series) by flipping a single switch, without any additional wiring. Integrated Deutsch/Amphenol connectors are moulded directly into the basket frame, providing error-proof plug-and-play connectivity for both the speaker signal and Color Optix RGB lighting. Conventional zinc nickel-plated marine grade brass spade terminals are also included as an alternative wiring option.
The cone is injection-moulded mineral-filled polypropylene with UV inhibitors, co-moulded with a Santoprene VAST surround. Rockford Fosgate's patented VAST technique increases the effective radiating cone area by up to 25%. A linear synthetic fiber blend spider provides consistent excursion control. The vented motor design with a water-repelling nano-coated mesh screen allows heat dissipation at high output levels while protecting the motor from water ingress. The 100% UV stable ASA plastic frame and grille resist discolouration in marine environments. Optically clear UV stable RGB lighting encapsulation protects the LED PCB throughout.
Tested to ASTM B117 (500-hour salt/fog), ASTM G154 (500-hour accelerated UV), and ISO60068-2-64 vibration standards. Klippel Verified certification applied. Sold individually - one subwoofer per purchase.
Features & Benefits
VersaSwitch - 2-Ohm or 8-Ohm Without Rewiring: The VersaSwitch allows the DVC 4-ohm voice coils to be configured to parallel (2-ohm) or series (8-ohm) by flipping a single switch, enabling flexible amplifier matching without additional wiring or soldering.
Compact 10 Inch Format - Smaller Enclosure Requirements: The M1D4-10B fits a sealed enclosure of 1.1 cu.ft (31.15 litres) or a vented enclosure of 1.45 cu.ft (41.06 litres), making it well suited to under-seat compartments and space-constrained vessel installations where the larger M1D4-12B cannot fit.
Color Optix RGB LED Lighting - App Controlled: Ultra-bright wide-angle RGB LEDs are protected by optically clear UV stable encapsulation, controllable via the PMX-RGB controller and RF Connect app on iOS and Android. The PMX-RGB controller is sold separately.
Integrated Deutsch/Amphenol Connectors - True Marine Ecosystem: Moulded in-frame Deutsch/Amphenol connectors combine speaker signal and Color Optix RGB lighting into a single error-proof plug-and-play connection. Zinc nickel-plated marine grade brass spade terminals are also included for standard wiring installations.
Santoprene VAST Surround - UV and Salt-Fog Resistant: The Santoprene VAST surround is co-moulded to the mineral-filled polypropylene cone and attaches vertically using Rockford Fosgate's patented VAST technique, increasing the effective radiating cone area by up to 25% for more bass output from the same 10 inch driver.
Vented Motor with Nano-Coated Water-Repelling Mesh Screen: The vented motor design allows heat to dissipate from the 2 inch (50mm) Kapton voice coil former at high output levels, while the nano-coated mesh screen prevents water from entering the motor assembly in spray-intensive marine environments.
ASTM and ISO Tested - Purpose-Built Marine Construction: Tested to ASTM B117 (500-hour salt/fog), ASTM G154 (500-hour accelerated UV), and ISO60068-2-64 vibration standards. IPX6 water intrusion rating confirms protection against powerful jets of water from any direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the M1D4-10B and the M1D4-12B?
Both are black M1 series DVC 4-ohm Color Optix marine subwoofers with the same VersaSwitch settings (2-ohm parallel / 8-ohm series), power handling (300W RMS), and construction. The M1D4-10B is the 10 inch version with a shallower 4.23 inch mounting depth, smaller sealed (1.1 cu.ft) and vented (1.45 cu.ft) enclosure requirements, and a higher Fs of 37Hz suited to a smaller enclosure volume. The M1D4-12B is the 12 inch version with a deeper 6.65 inch mounting depth, larger enclosure requirements, and a lower Fs of 27Hz for deeper bass extension. Choose the M1D4-10B where space is limited; choose the M1D4-12B for maximum bass depth.
What impedance settings does the VersaSwitch provide on the M1D4-10B?
The M1D4-10B uses DVC 4-ohm voice coils. The VersaSwitch configures the coils to parallel (2-ohm total) or series (8-ohm total) without any rewiring. Use the 2-ohm parallel setting when pairing with an amplifier rated for 2-ohm loads for maximum output, or the 8-ohm series setting for amplifiers better suited to a higher impedance. Contact us if you need help selecting the correct setting for your amplifier.
What enclosure types are compatible with the M1D4-10B?
The M1D4-10B is compatible with both sealed (1.1 cu.ft / 31.15 litres) and vented (1.45 cu.ft / 41.06 litres) enclosure configurations. A sealed enclosure delivers tighter, more accurate bass while the vented enclosure produces more output at the port tuning frequency. The smaller enclosure volumes compared to the 12 inch models make the M1D4-10B a practical choice for vessels with limited storage compartment space.
Is the M1D4-10B sold as a single unit or as a pair?
The M1D4-10B is sold individually - one subwoofer per purchase. If your installation requires two subwoofers, two units will need to be added to the order.
Does the Color Optix lighting require a separate controller?
Yes. Color Optix RGB lighting requires the PMX-RGB controller and the RF Connect app (available on iOS and Android) to access full colour control, lighting effects, and brightness adjustment. The PMX-RGB controller is sold separately. The subwoofer can also be used without the controller at a fixed default colour setting straight out of the box.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers
