Polk MM UM! had three sets in my little jet boat, and am gonna put three more in my Velocity at some point. I've been a professional installer for the last decade of my life, and hands down the best sounding marine speakers I have had the opportunity to listen to. I even had a pair in my transom(on a 16ft Sugar Sand), and never had an issue. I have also heard good things about the DcGold, but never personally listened to any. JL is nice but overpriced, and not as detailed midrange vocals. Kicker marine... Good stuff but again, not near the sound quality of the Polks.

Dc gold are worth the money! Unlike most of the marine speakers that are "weather proof", DC Gold are "water proof". Part of their maintenance (if you boat in salt water) is to remove them from the boat and submerge in clean water periodically. I have kicker 6.5s in my cockpit and they are nice, but the dc gold 6x9s I have mounted in my transom are much clearer and much more efficient. I had a set of polks back there and they only lasted a few months. The tweeters blew while in use during a rain shower......... I listen to my DC gold speakers while washing the transom, so they get fully soaked with soap and water and keep on jamming.
