JL Audio JLA-010-03065-00 M3 7.7" Marine Speakers - White Classic Grille
Premium large-format marine audio engineered for Australian conditions — extended bass performance meets timeless classic styling.
Product Overview
The JL Audio M3 7.7" marine speakers with white classic grille deliver professional-grade sound quality with enhanced low-frequency extension in a clean, traditional design built for harsh saltwater environments. Engineered with injection-moulded mica-filled polypropylene cones and 19mm silk dome tweeters, these larger coaxial speakers handle 70W RMS continuous power with 90.5 dB sensitivity across an impressive 45 Hz-25 kHz frequency range. The white classic grille provides UV-resistant protection with a low-profile aesthetic, while stainless steel mounting hardware ensures long-term reliability in Australian coastal conditions. Ideal for larger boats, centre consoles, and commercial vessels where increased bass output and clean traditional aesthetics matter without RGB lighting complexity.
Features & Benefits
Corrosion-Resistant Marine Construction: Mica-filled polypropylene cones and stainless steel hardware withstand constant saltwater exposure, UV radiation, and temperature extremes common in Australian coastal waters, offshore fishing grounds, and extended blue-water cruising.
Extended Bass Response: 45 Hz low-frequency extension delivers deeper bass output compared to smaller 6.5" models, providing more impactful sound reproduction for larger vessels, open cockpit areas, or high-ambient-noise environments without requiring subwoofer supplementation.
Increased Power Handling: 70W RMS continuous rating with 90.5 dB sensitivity enables higher output levels suitable for larger boats, commercial applications, or environments requiring elevated volume levels to overcome engine and wind noise.
Classic Grille Design: Low-profile white classic grille with 26mm protrusion provides UV-resistant protection while maintaining a traditional, understated aesthetic perfect for classic boat styling, professional commercial vessel applications, or owners preferring timeless design without LED effects.
Universal Large-Format Mounting: 159mm mounting hole diameter accommodates standard large-format marine speaker cutouts in fibreglass consoles, hardtops, and tower enclosures, providing straightforward installation in vessels designed for 7.7"-8" speakers.
Silk Dome Tweeter Design: 19mm soft dome provides smooth high-frequency extension without the harshness common in metal tweeters, reducing listening fatigue during long fishing runs, multi-day coastal cruising, or extended offshore passages.
