Speaker Color Matching

So the original to the boat SubWoofer finally died this weekend. I originally thought it was an amp issue, and it took forever to figure out what was really going on b/c the sub would work intermediately. Finally pulled the sub out and found this:

So its time to upgrade, and Katie and I are stressing about subwoofer color of all things. The interior of the boat is brown, and we will most likely replace all the speakers in the coming off seasons. I love the look of the black sub, and think it would look awesome against the white interior of the boat. The problem is nothing on the boat is black, and I think the black would look bad against the brown? But then again the white speaker on the white boat interior is just going to blend in I think.
So since the Nauti's cant figure this out we turn to you cobalt chat. What should we order?

You and your wetsounds....my dreams of an all JL system may be crushed though, I dont think I have enough depth to mount the JL sub in our boat.

It sits in front of the passenger seat below the glove box just like yours. That JL isn't a marine sub, since ours sits right in front of my designated seat it does get wet. I would something at least water resistant. The WetSounds are much narrower, may just have to go /w that.

I installed the JL gray speakers 6 x 6-1/2" including the 10"sub. Mine look great with the tan interior. They come with different colored tabs (red included) to change out the JL audio. I left mine black because they didn't have blue.

Thanks Driller - that does look really good - could sway us to going grey. I am still a little conflicted, I don't want to like wet sounds, but I do like the specs on their 10in sub - 2ohm/300 watts - beats the comparable JL.
I am going to have to get to the boat and get some measurements to see if I can make the JL fit before we make a decision.
