Video Transcript for Quest Recessed Mount Marine Speaker Review

What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out these Quest Marine 50 Watt speakers. They're gonna be a coaxial speaker. Let's check 'em out. Now, it's time to play some music on there. We've listened to it, it sounds pretty good here from the boat but I'm gonna do my best to show you what that sounds like.

So our receiver here goes up to 45, we are about at 33 right now. It's moderately loud, I can hear it just fine in the boat. But I'm gonna turn it up and then we're gonna walk away from the boat and see how much we can hear. We're about 20 yards up here on the hill from the boat. Sounds pretty good.

I can hear the music just fine. So whether I'm up on the hill, or in the water, or around the boat, I should be able to hear the music which is exactly what I was looking for. When it comes to speakers there's a few different styles you can get, there's gonna be the full range, and those are the ones that usually come with the boat. So those are gonna be more of a flat sound, there's not really good highs and lows on those. And then if you get to the dual cone design that does have the tweeter and this woofer in there, and those do separate those sounds, however it's going through the same signals.

So it can get a little bit crunchy when they go together and you can hear it spike a little bit. Then there's the coaxial one and that's the one we have installed today. And that's a cleaner sound it's way crisper because it's got two separate signals going to the highs and the lows, so that's the tweeters and the woofers. These speakers come in a quantity of one and they do accept grills on there. You can see how it's exposed, it doesn't really have a built in one.

These are the ones that go on there. I just left 'em off for the video so you can have a better look at the speaker. The speaker's gonna be six and three quarters of an inch diameter. So match that up with the holes in your boat. Make sure that's gonna fit. So we went over how it sounds, and now it's time to see how it installs. It's not that bad, especially if you're replacing old speakers. You have two wires in there you're gonna connect and you'll have to run the hardware in to secure it. Now it doesn't come with its own hardware so you have to find that yourself. We managed to only use three screws in there. So you don't have to use every hole. There's eight all around the speaker to help you find that right spot to go ahead and secure it. Let's check out how I installed it. We're gonna install our speakers and remove our old ones. So, we're going to have the wires already run. We're gonna look at the back of the speaker, usually it indicates positive or negative. You can see on the inside there, there's a little plus sign and a minus sign. The bigger tab is gonna be the positive. The little one's gonna be the negative. And that's the case most of the time, and with the wires, usually the copper one's positive and the silver one's negative. So, it's gonna match those up, get those attached. With those attached, now we're gonna line up the holes with the existing holes in there, so we can fasten the speaker. Now it doesn't come with its own hardware, so you have to get your own. Luckily, we have something left over from the last speaker so that's gonna work just fine. And this happens to line up with those holes exactly where we need them. Overall, I do like these speakers. They are a better sound than the full range. The coaxial sounds really good. Now, they're only 50 Watts so they don't get as loud as I want. I want it to be loud enough that we're gonna hear it over the engine, while driving around in the lake. And these just don't quite get there. There's some Jensen speakers that are about 75 Watts that we're real loud and you could hear them over the engine, even covers up the sound of the engine. And that's what I was looking for on my boat. So if that's what you're looking for, I was looking for those as well. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and hope this helped..
