Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I opted for the newer all white(re-designed) version of the Mac650's instead of the original teal and white ones that would have worked well with the color scheme of my mid-ninties boat because I was told that the newer ones had a much higher(93 Db, quite impressive, vs the original 88Db) sensitivity than the originals. I confirmed this with Bazooka and another reputible re-seller, as well. When my speakers shipped, the printing on the box for the newer speakers said 88 Db! Two other problems that I see with the design of these speakers are that the wires running along a brace on the back of the speaker are exposed and routed in a position that leaves them open to be cut or damaged during installation or possibly normal use/vibration, when they could have easily been integrated into the design of the brace and well insulated. Secondly, the screws provided for installation were just slightly too big for the holes in which they were meant to be located. My engineering background and just plain past experience tells me that the plastic these screws are forced into is going to crack come the first hot or freezing season these supposedly marine-grade speakers see. I used a dremel tool to increase the size of the pilot holes in the grills, but don't think anyone should have to do things like this. Based on these 3 design errors, I would not reccomend these speakers at this time. Yes, I do have a degree in Industrial design and would guess that the person who designed and packaged these speakers did not. They do sound good in combination with the Bazooka tube subwoolfer I also installed in my boat.
