“The outdoor environment can be devastating on audio gear,” explained Jake Braaten, Rockford’s V.P. of Product Development & Engineering. “We’ve taken extreme measures to ensure optimum performance of our new Prime Series RM1652W-MB full-range, element-ready speaker enclosure. This true element-ready speaker has been loaded into a sealed, UV inhibitor infused, high density poly-ethylene enclosure which features an automotive grade paint and clear coat finish. The speaker features a 6.5-inch woofer and 1-inch grill mounted tweeter in its own high density poly-ethylene enclosure and protected by a luxury style grille. The RM1652W-MB is the ideal speaker enclosure for both marine and motorsports applications where traditional speaker mounts are not appropriate or possible. The 359 degree rotation is also perfect for aiming your music in virtually any direction while moving on the trail, or parked alongside the campfire.”

The RM1652W-MB speaker system comes with a surface mount bracket and all hardware is chrome plated or stainless steel. Security Torx hardware prevents theft while an included safety lanyard protects from loss or damage in the event the set screw assembly loosens over time. An optional tubular style mounting clamp assembly is also available (PM-CL2B) and can accommodate tube sizes from 1-inch to 2-inches. Both surface and tubular clamp mounting configurations allow the speaker to rotate up to 359 degrees.

The 75/150 Watt (RMS/Peak), 4-ohm Rockford Fosgate Prime Series RM1652B is a 2-way component system with a coaxially integrated tweeter featuring marine grade weather proofing technologies.
