PYLE PLMR53 5.25-Inch 150 Watt Two-Way Shielded Marine Water Proof Speakers Reviews | Marine Electronics

Fortunately, these speakers don't cost too much because you essentially get what you pay for - average quality and average sound.

Although advertised as marine speakers, they aren't really built robust enough for active boats. For example, the mount for the speakers is a simple threaded insert in the rear. OK for non-marine use, but quite unsuitable for a moving vehicle since they won't stay in position and they rotate around that single point.

And the threaded screw mount? They both pushed into the speaker as soon as I tried to thread anything into them. Ended up taking both speakers apart to glue that mount back in position.

The spring wire insertions aren't the best choice for a boat either. The jostling around of wires would be better served by a strong screw post.

Sound quality is also lacking. The highs can be piercing, but the lows are not accurately produced. Listening to classic rock brought out severe distortions (mostly buzzing) to voices of Buffalo Springfield, CSN, and Elton John. Since I'm only driving these 150W speakers with a 50W amp, there should be no distortion from overdriving. They simply don't produce a clean, low distortion sound.

Although the product description and package claim the speakers come with mounting hardware, they don't. You're left on your own to figure out how to mount these things.

Just mounted these in the boat and will post an update after I get some 'mileage' on them on the water.

Overall the construction of the speakers appears to be fairly good. As others have stated, there is no mounting hardware even though on the box they come packaged in it clearly states "Spring Loaded Mounting Brackets Included". I contacted the manufacturer and they apologized for the manufacturing mistake and were unable to produce any sort of bracket that might even work with these speakers. So it looks like it is time to get creative. I would have hoped that the manufacturer had a better answer than "We do not have anything of the sort for your item. Sorry for the misleading information on the box."

You win some, you lose some.

The speakers are good they sound great but they have no mounting hardware. If you read the discription it is written in a way that makes you think there is mounting hardware. The mounting hardware that is written in the discription is the hardware to mount the wires to the speaker. Glad they put that in the discription and worded it to make me think the speakers came with a way to mount them to the boat. I had to make my own mounts :(
