Congratulations!

Thank you for choosing this Wet Sounds™ product!

Wet Sounds is synonymous with live, loud, and clear audio solutions, built to serve the needs of the marine and powersports enthusiast. The ZERO Series is a first of its kind innovation for Wet Sounds, taking the legendary REV tower speaker performance and re-imagining it for optimal use in more confined spaces.

The high output in small, sealed enclosures means ZERO Series allows for ZERO compromises. These speakers can also be used with or without a twist-lock grille, making them ideal for both custom and OEM replacement applications. The ZERO Series speakers and subwoofers utilize materials such as Nylas, a composite of nylon and fiberglass, providing improved stability and superior strength versus conventional speaker materials.

Please take a moment to read the instruction manual before starting your installation. The guide will explain the benefits of the technologies developed by Wet Sounds and will help you understand the correct installation methods and use of this product. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact a certified Wet Sounds dealer. You may also contact Wet Sounds technical support by dialing 1-877-WET-SPKR (1-877-938-7757).
