JL Audio M6-880ETXv3: 8.8-inch enclosed tower speaker system
The M6-880ETXv3 is the ETXv3 enclosed system in the JL Audio M6 series: a 8.8-inch coaxial already fitted in its pod, made for wake towers and other tubular structures. It carries powerful, clear sound even to people in the water, away from the boat.
There are three versions: Classic Gloss White and Sport Gloss White with a gloss white pod, Sport Gunmetal Titanium with a satin black pod. Both Sport versions can also be ordered with RGB LED lighting. Sold as a pair; mounting fixtures sold separately. The price is for a pair.
Key features
- 8.8-inch enclosed coaxial system, 4 ohm nominal impedance
- 125 W RMS continuous power; suggested amplifier 50 to 250 W RMS per channel
- Frequency response 38 Hz-20 kHz (+/- 3 dB)
- Sensitivity 90.5 dB (1 W/1 m)
- 32 mm silk dome tweeter
- 16 AWG connection lead, 3 metres long
Open-air sound
The system is designed to give energetic midbass in open-air setups, where there are no walls to help. The woofer is optimised with DMA, the proprietary JL Audio technology that acts on the motor, the suspension and the cone profile to lower distortion and deliver clean, well controlled bass.
Tweeter and filter
The silk tweeter is matched to the woofer diameter and keeps a good response off axis. A true two-way crossover, calculated for this size, sits in the woofer structure, with an electronic circuit protecting the tweeter. The M6 series is made to benefit from a quality amplifier and stays clear at any volume.
RGB LED lighting
On the With RGB versions the patented Transflective system spreads light evenly. The LEDs run on 10 to 14.4 V DC, draw 486 mA at most at 14.4 V and have their own four-conductor 20 AWG lead, 3 metres long.
Mounting
The pod is 224 mm in diameter and 374 mm deep in the Classic version, 376 mm in the Sport ones. Besides tubes, with the right fixture it can also go on flat panels or other surfaces. Neoprene covers, which protect it when idle or during towing, and light caps exist as separate accessories. Like the rest of the series, this model is made to live at sea and to cope with salt water in the long run.
