Wet Sounds ZERO Series 8 XY-W – 8" High-Output Marine Coaxial Speakers with Yacht Grilles
Wet Sounds ZERO Series 8 XY-W extends the ZERO Series concept into an 8" format, offering a high-output coaxial option for larger cutouts and more demanding marine systems. Inspired by the performance of Wet Sounds REV tower speakers and adapted for more confined mounting spaces, ZERO Series 8 XY-W blends shallow-mount flexibility with yacht-style aesthetics.
Shallow-Mount 8" Coaxials for Modern Marine Installs
ZERO Series 8 XY-W is designed for boats that can benefit from an 8" speaker but still have limited depth behind the panel. With a mounting depth of 3.32" (84.32mm), these coaxials aim to fit into tighter factory or custom locations while delivering full-range marine performance.
- 8" shallow-mount marine coaxial speakers
- Mounting depth: 3.32" (84.32mm)
- Hole cutout: 7.36" (186.94mm)
Nylas™ Composite Frame & PMGS Composite Cone
At the core of ZERO Series 8 XY-W is a high-strength Nylas™ composite frame, a nylon and fiberglass blend chosen for stability and strength, paired with a rigid PMGS composite cone. The suspension system is designed around a TPR surround and a reinforced Nomex aramid spider.
