Wet Sounds RECON 10 FA-XW-W 10" Free-Air Marine Subwoofer – White

Most Boat Audio Systems Have Weak Bass

A lot of boat stereos sound fine at the dock but lose bass once you get moving.

Wind noise, engine vibration, open-air sound loss, and water movement can make a standard system sound thin. Speakers may play loud, but without a proper marine subwoofer, the system usually lacks depth and impact.

The Wet Sounds RECON 10 FA-XW-W is built to solve that problem with clean, controlled bass in a simple free-air marine design.

Built for Free-Air Marine Installations

This is a 10 inch free-air marine subwoofer, which means it does not require a traditional subwoofer box.

That makes it ideal for boats where space matters.

Use it in:

• Pontoon panels
• Under-seat locations
• Helm compartments
• Center console walls
• Wake boat interiors
• Custom marine audio builds

This design helps add real bass without giving up valuable storage space.

Clean White Marine Styling

The XW white grille gives this subwoofer a clean marine look that works well with white fiberglass interiors and modern boat layouts.

It is a strong choice when you want the system to look factory-clean while still adding better low-frequency performance.

Designed for Marine Durability

The RECON 10 FA-XW-W is built for outdoor marine conditions.

It is designed for:

• Moisture exposure
• UV exposure
• Vibration
• Heat
• Humidity
• Freshwater and saltwater environments

This is not a standard car subwoofer being forced into a boat. It is made for marine audio systems.

Strong Bass Without a Large Box

The RECON 10 delivers 200 watts RMS and 400 watts peak power, giving your boat system stronger low-end response without overcomplicating the install.

It is best for boat owners who want:

• More bass at cruising speed
• Fuller sound on open water
• Better balance with marine speakers
• A clean subwoofer upgrade without a bulky enclosure
