should i get this to put in a jetski, Like would the speakers be loud enough? and how long would it last?

the amp is water resistant but not water proof so if you install on a jet ski try to make sure the amp stays dry. Ive gone through 2 of these since teh amp keeps getting soaked.

This is a great speaker too. I almost went with these but thought the price was out of my budget. These will last longer with a higher level of abuse. These are made to play loud all night, night after night for years, like in a club. They both will sound very similar I would imagine, but the tweeters that are built for duration and punishment usually don not sound as sweet, especially at lower volumes. I would compare the two as a nice car vs a nice suv. They both require a 300 watt per channel amp to drive them. Always match power to capability with amp/speakers. If you go higher you may blow the unit, lower power ratings will result in degradation of the sound from the speaker (a low power source will make a great speaker sound like crap). Good luck and ROCK BABY!

I have them in my boat. Plenty of sound. You will need an amp to get the best out of them.

Their prob too deep for a harley. They prob go in 5-6 inches. Hell of a speaker though! I put them in my ski boat.

Anything would be better than a stereo....all stereos are low amp, don't have the power to drive the speakers to their max....but the big question is what speakers are you going to drive with them....If you don't put some good quality speakers, preferably some wakeboard speakers, it wont matter what you use.

Volume has not been a problem even over a diesel engine of a 37 foot lobster boat. It has been covered by saltwater and providing you take care of it as you would any good saltwater equipment it should work great for the Kayak.

Great little speaker I use it on my JetSki suctioned in front of me. Does well at low speed or just hanging out. At high-speed the engine drowns out the sound. Overall very impressive

It's pretty short so probably be pretty loud. A turbo type muffler would probably give you a deeper tone.

Speakers need to be efficient, which I believe Tannoys would be... it will make them sound AWESOME! This little amp is fantastic.

Sounds like a good set with this amp I would bride it so all power is going to one sub but the amp isn't water resistant and I don't know much about boats and I know you can't seal off an amp because it needs air to stay cool

I really don't know but being me, If the unit fits I'd make it happen. More power with the right speakers to here over the motor, I would go for it.When I mounted it I made my own mount to install the box. I have it on a motorcycle, so to keep the wires some what hidden I add holes in the bottom. I've driven in the rain and had it sit out side all night in the rain (that sucked) no problems. Good luck!

Thanks for your question. This amazing sounding amplifier, at only 30 watts per channel will drive the speakers you refer to to moderate volumes but I would not suggest it for extremely loud, very dynamic music for very long term use. For background levels it will work.

It will work fine, an sound great. I have this unit in 72 bug and it will blow the doors off. you may need to adjust the power so you don't overwork your speakers.

Yes otherwise you will not get the best of them. They are big speakers and need extra power. I have an amplifier on my boat but not sure how big it is. I have the smaller speakers not connected to the amp and works well this way but will be also connecting them to the amp.

Just select a stereo amp for them as you would for any 50W 4 ohm speaker but; you're going to have to make sure they are fastened to the frames in the seats to transmit the most vibration to the occupant. I think putting them in the back would be best if you've room. Be really happening with one in the bottom as well. That way it would be impossible to realize where the vibration emanates from. Crazy out-of-the-box idea man. The kind I like the best!

This speaker would not be sufficient for motorcycle use. I use it on a road bicycle when riding by myself and it works OK, but even then the wind noise sometimes is to much for it. Add an engine and it would be next to useless. In general, the speaker does sound very good.

If you have experience installing 12v car audio, this should give you no trouble. It has power, ground, and turn-on wire for activating the internal amp. Comes with plenty of speaker wire as well. Just keep in mind this is not a high powered sub so don't expect tons of thump. For small spaces, it will deepen and warm up the low frenquencies. If you want more bass, try a powered Bazooka 10" or the Blaupunkt powered 10". Mine was installed in a travel tralier and it works fine in that application.
