PREACT™ Current Averaging Technology
PREACT™ (Responsive Energy Amplification Current Technology) is patented current-averaging technology developed for modern electric vehicles and power-conscious applications. The system reduces peak current demand while improving efficiency and minimizing power waste.
- Reduced current requirements compared to conventional high-power amplifiers
- Reduced I²R losses through averaged current draw
- Compatible with 9V–58V electrical systems
- Designed for marine, golf cart, EV, and powersports applications
- Supports reduced power wire requirements and simplified installation
ACTEQ™ Intelligent Protection
ACTEQ™ (Audio Clipping & Thermal Equalization) continuously monitors amplifier operating conditions and dynamically adjusts output through an intelligent feedback system designed to reduce clipping and thermal stress.
- Real-time power delivery adaptation
- 0.8dB step gain adjustment capability
- Designed to prevent clipping without waveform compression
- Active protection for connected speakers and amplifiers
- Smooth performance consistency across varying source material
Integration & Installation
The MZA-8M supports a wide operating voltage range, allowing integration into 12V, 16V, 24V, 36V, and 48V electrical systems without modification.
Sealed Deutsch-style connectors and lockable controls help protect system settings and connections in marine and outdoor installations.

8x M6-650X-L-GwSw-Single 6.5-inch (165 mm) Marine Coaxial Speaker, White Trim Ring, White Luxe Grille (M6-650X-L-GwSw-Single)
M6 Luxe speakers are purpose-built to deliver top-flight audio performance and durability in luxury marine installations. Each model is outfitted with a low-profile mounting bezel with integrated tweeter bridge and a fine mesh grille for minimal protrusion into cabin space. The result is a discreet visual appearance able to blend in with the finest vessel surroundings.
A DMA-optimized, long excursion woofer design ensures excellent power handling and a 0.8-inch pure silk dome tweeter, specially treated to withstand harsh salt-water environments, produces clean, articulate high-frequency response, especially at higher volume levels.
A multi-order, true 2-way passive crossover is concealed within the woofer chassis, shielded from vibration and corrosion. Also included, is an automatic, solid-state tweeter protection circuit to minimize the possibility of tweeter failure.
Although M6-650X Coaxial Systems can be used with as little as 25 W per channel, for best audio performance we recommend amplifiers capable of between 75-150 W of continuous power per channel.
Production of all M6 loudspeakers takes place in JL Audio’s Miramar, Florida factory, using global components and materials.
