JL focus on delivering unique engineering, superior quality and high-performance audio to our customers around the world. Behind all our efforts is a strong belief that great audio has real value, and that our customers can ‘tell the difference’.
Throughout JL Audio you will find people who love audio, take it very seriously and consider themselves fortunate to have a career in such an enjoyable field. True “audio nuts” can be found around every corner of JL Audio’s facilities in Miramar, Florida and Phoenix, Arizona. They include former audio retailers, IASCA World Champions, installers, recording engineers, and an engineering staff with vast experience in professional, car and home audio product design.
Enclosed Speaker Systems
Gorgeous enclosed speaker systems, ideal for mounting onto wakeboard towers, deck/surface or other tubular structures on a boat.
ETXv3 systems are offered with our maximum-performance, M-Series 7.7-inch and 8.8-inch coaxial tower speakers. Specifically tuned for tower enclosure applications, these coaxial drivers deliver clean, loud audio that can be heard well beyond the boat when mounted up high. For lower power applications, you can choose a version with the MX-Series 7.7-inch coaxial. The enclosures are injection-molded from marine-grade polymer materials and feature a decorative, aluminum JL Audio logo cap on the end opposite the speaker. Each is designed to mate with one of our clamp systems (sold separately and available to fit a wide range of pipe diameters).
MX-Series Speakers
Utilizing true marine-grade construction, MX-Series Cockpit Coaxial Systems feature coaxially mounted woofers and tweeters and are engineered to deliver high-performance sound, at a more affordable price.
Built with precision in our Miramar, Florida factory alongside the flagship M-Series speakers, MX-Series coaxials are optimized for infinite-baffle operation so they can be mounted without a dedicated enclosure behind them. Available in 6.5-inch and 7.7-inch sizes, all models employ our long excursion woofer designs for solid mid-bass output and pure silk dome tweeters for smooth highs.
M-Series Speakers
Capable of standing alone or in conjunction with our marine subwoofers, these powerful marine speaker systems deliver exceptional sound quality and output for those seeking a superior listening experience.
All models feature motor systems that develop superior output compared to conventional designs. Treated silk soft-dome tweeters with powerful neodymium motor systems provide sparkling high-frequency detail at all listening levels. Controlled off-axis response provides wide coverage with exceptional tonal balance throughout the listening area.
The 6.5-inch diameter models are designed to fit where conventional marine 6.5-inch speakers will not. For an extra sonic edge, consider our unique 7.7-inch diameter speaker systems that provide 20% more sound radiating area than typical 6.5-inch designs and also benefit from oversized 1.27-inch diameter woofer voice coils (for additional power handling). For the ultimate in open water audio performance, look to the powerful 8.8-inch diameter systems to produce unsurpassed audio fidelity with a commanding mid-bass output. These extras add up to significantly improved output and clarity.
MHD Series Amplifiers
The MHD’s advanced technologies and no-nonsense design make these the best marine amplifiers, at any price.MHD amplifiers apply a patented switching technology called Single Cycle Control™ to deliver world-class sonic performance and very high power from what seems like an impossibly small package. The MHD’s tiny dimensions are made possible by their outstanding electrical efficiency (over 80% at 1/2 power), which also results in a lot less current draw from your boat’s batteries.
MHD Amplifiers also apply JL Audio's exclusive R.I.P.S. (Regulated, Intelligent Power Supply) technology to maintain rock-solid audio performance with any speaker load from 1.5 - 4 ohms, even with fluctuating battery voltage. This is a feature you won't find on any other marine amplifier.
M Series Amplifiers
The JL Audio M-Series amplifiers are the perfect solution for space-conscious installations or for anyone seeking affordable excellence in a marine amplifier.
Instead of relying on antiquated, inefficient amplifier designs, JL Audio M-Series amplifiers employ our exclusive NexD™ switching technology to achieve total amplifier efficiencies exceeding 80%. This means they run much cooler and put less strain on your vessel's electrical system than a conventional amplifier. It also allows for very impressive power output from a very compact amplifier, which greatly simplifies installation in tight spaces. As with their more expensive MHD siblings, the M-Series deploy our Advanced Thermal Rollback System to completely eliminate annoying thermal shut-down events. Studio-grade signal processing with fully variable crossover filters is accessible beneath an extruded aluminum cover. Also included are our noise-killing, differential inputs with remote level control capabilities via the HD-RLC remote level control (optional).
Media Master Source Units
Enjoy great audio wherever your adventures might take you, with the MediaMaster® 100s-BE, a Premium Source Unit designed to withstand anything Mother Nature can dish out. This full-featured source unit offers great audio performance and is ideal for marine and powersports applications. Its rugged, weatherproof (IP66 rated) chassis houses an ultra-bright, 3.5-inch full-color LCD display, with separate Day/Night lighting themes for outstanding visibility, even in bright sunshine. When in motion, you will also appreciate the clean user interface with big text and large backlit controls.
Because sound quality is our top priority, the MM100s-BE is not equipped with an internal amplifier designed to drive loudspeakers directly. Instead, it offers audiophile-quality circuitry to deliver crystal-clear signals to high-quality marine amplifiers, through eight preamp outputs. These are deployed in four configurable, nameable audio zones, each offering its own set of independent control options, making the MM100s-BE adaptable to a wide range of system types. On-the-fly, zone volume controls make it easy to adjust the level of your audio zones, while a useful zone volume limit feature makes sure that nobody gets blasted inadvertently. All zones feature our Zero-Clipping audio circuit design, with self-limiting tone controls to keep the audio clean at high listening levels, reducing the likelihood of speaker damage.
With certified NMEA-2000® connectivity, the MM100s-BE is also an ideal partner to your Garmin, Lowrance or Simrad Multifunction Display!
Weatherproof Bluetooth
Designed for marine and powersports applications, the MBT-CRXv2 Bluetooth® Controller/Receiver delivers your favorite music from a Bluetooth® equipped device directly to your audio system.
With an IP67 water resistance rating, the MBT-CRXv2 is ideal for small watercraft, motorcycles, ATV’s or other utility vehicles. Add Bluetooth® connectivity to any source unit with line-level/auxiliary inputs or connect directly to an amplifier and use it as a stand-alone source unit/receiver. Large LED backlit push-button controls are easy-to-see and easy-to-use, day or night. A small footprint and clever, one-hole design makes installation a breeze. An adaptor plate is also included for easy front mounting or where rear access is limited or not possible.
Equipped with Bluetooth® v4.0 and the Qualcomm® aptX™ audio codec, the MBT-CRXv2 sends top-quality audio and performance from compatible devices to deliver dynamic, CD-like sound without any cables. With a wireless connection range of up to 35 ft., you can conveniently control the connected audio without returning to your Bluetooth® device. This means your device can stay safely tucked-away from the elements.
When you’re ready to set sail or tackle your next adventure, great sound is waiting for you with the MBT-CRXv2 Bluetooth® Audio Controller/Receiver.
