Wind, waves, and engine noise can make ordinary speakers lose impact and sound thin once the boat is underway. The MRN-S88-LW is tuned for strong midbass, giving kick drums, bass lines, and lower vocals the weight and energy they need in open-air conditions. Its long-excursion woofer moves more air for greater impact, while 150 watts RMS of power handling helps the speaker stay composed and energetic as the volume rises. A pro-audio-style tweeter waveguide helps direct clear detail through open-air spaces. The result is full, high-output sound that carries across the boat and beyond, keeping the music clear and energetic whether cruising, anchored, or gathered nearby at the sandbar.
Built for Life on the Water
Marine speakers face far more than an occasional splash. The MRN-S88-LW features an IP66-certified construction which helps protect against dust and powerful water spray, along with salt, fog, and UV resistance for added protection in demanding coastal conditions. Marine-ready materials and waterproof speaker and LED connections help defend against moisture, corrosion, sun exposure, and fading. The result is lasting protection designed for real-world boating, repeated exposure, and dependable performance through season after season on the water.
Redefining the Standard for Marine Sound Performance
Designed to Be Seen
A distinctive white grille fives the MRN-S88-LW a clean, refined presence that complements white fiberglass, light interiors, and modern marine finishes. Integrated 4-pin RGB LED lighting shines through an optical-diffusion grille for a smooth, even glow after sunset, creating anything from subtle accent lighting to a more energetic atomosphere onboard.LED operation requires a compatible controller and remote, sold separately. Pair the speakers with Alpine's KTX-MRN-LED-RF LED Controller & Remote for convenient lighting control.
Clarity for Open-Air Listening
Marine sound has to project without becoming harsh or tiring. The MRN-S88-LW uses a reinforced polypropylene and carbon-fiber cone to keep midbass tight and controlled as the volume rises. A hydrophobic 33mm dome tweeter resists moisture, while its pro-audio-style waveguide helps direct high-frequency detail through open-air spaces. An integrated 2-way crossover blends both drivers for balanced Alpine Signature Sound, keeping vocals, instruments, and percussion distinct from the helm to the stern, even as wind and engine noise increase.
Build Your Ideal Alpine Marine System
Creating the ideal Alpine Marine system means bringing the source, amplification, speakers, and bass together around the way you listen on the water. Start with an Alpine Marine Receiver, then add amplification that matches your system goals. The M-A60F 4-Channel Marine Amplifier delivers dedicated power for four speakers, while the M-A110V 5-Channel Marine Amplifier can power four speakers and a subwoofer from one compact solution. For deeper, more commanding bass, pair the speakers with a 10-inch 12-inch Alpine Marine subwoofer and the dedicated M-A120M Mono Marine Amplifier. Together, each component contributes to clear, balanced Alpine Signature Sound bow to stern.
