Marine Tower Speakers And How To Maintain Them Properly

Keeping up with maintenance needs

Marine tower speakers are some of the best sound systems that you can have for boats. They’re easy to install and they offer incredible audio, letting you have amazing parties on the waves.

These speakers are also waterproof and super durable, making them an excellent choice for tough environments like the open sea. But even with this durability, you shouldn’t skimp on maintenance.

Marine speakers may be very hardy, but if you don’t keep up with the occasional maintenance requirements, they might not last long.

How can I maintain my marine tower speakers?

Here’s how you can take care of your boat’s tower speakers the right way:

Rinse with fresh water

Even for waterproof speakers, long-term exposure to salt water can cause damage due to corrosion. After every boat ride out on the sea, consider rinsing your speakers with fresh water. Also, make sure not to use a high-pressure hose to wash your speakers as this may cause physical damage.

Check the cables

The tower speakers are only as good as their cables, so you need to check the cable once every six months. Keep an eye out for signs of corrosion and other types of visible damage. Also, make sure to check the connection points for dirt and grime and clean them out using a Q-tip

Examine the installation

A poorly installed speaker may vibrate and move around, this can cause damage over time. Also, a poorly installed speaker could come off its mountings and turn into a safety hazard. Make sure to check the integrity of the installation for signs of rust, loose connections and impact damage.

Do a sound check

Make sure to regularly check your marine tower speaker’s audio. Listen to audio problems, like sound distortions, volume problems, issues with the bass and other sound anomalies. Also, keep an eye out for visible signs of damage on the speaker grilles, casing, subwoofer and connections.

Store them away

When you’re not out sailing, you should consider storing your speakers away. Carefully remove the speakers from their mounts but keep the wiring in place so that it’ll be easier to install them again. Make sure to store the speakers in an antistatic bag, away from any direct heat sources.

Get a professional inspection

Sometimes, your speaker may develop problems that may not be obvious to the untrained eye. Consider taking your speaker to a professional to check for problems that are hard to find on your own. Also, you should get your speakers serviced by a professional at least once every six months.

These speakers can use your boat's battery or get power from an amplifier. Some speakers also come with rechargeable batteries.

This depends on the model of the speaker. Also, replacing parts on your speakers could void the warranty so make sure to check with the manufacturer first.

While these speakers are waterproof to a certain degree, they should not be submerged in water for an extended period of time or at extensive depths.
