It looks like Cobalt now offers three tiers of speakers in many boats - the Rockford Fosgate speakers as a "base" speaker, the JL Audio speakers as a step up, and Roswell as the top end. I was thinking about JL Audio speakers for my boat this summer, but now feel like I should check out Roswell as well, which I have not heard.

I know they're made by Focal, so are probably pretty solid, but has anybody heard them? If so, what are your thoughts?

They sound great, and I'm sure this is a carry over from the Malibu acquisition as most of their wake boats have them. Pricey unless you really push your stereo system. I ran RFs in my last boat and they sounded fine for moderately loud listening, and had Wetsounds housings with Sony Xplode speakers on the tower, on a separate amp so I could adjust the tower speaker volume independently from the cabin speakers. If you're a hard core audiophile the Roswells are the way to go.

Ak and JON I disagree JL speakers and JL digital amps with upgraded wiring has the clearest highs and mega lows . Roswells on the high end tend to distort when you start to push the amps. Just saying!! Wish like YT and others that have listened to my Liquid Lounge stereo on my R7 can't believe the crisp highs and low low's on my JL upgrade on mega power!

Ha! It is one of the best systems I've ever heard! But it might have something to do with 10,000 watts and the generator barge you tow behind you gdane!

Oh man what a day! This needs to happen again in 2019!

That's such a great pic, YT. Hope to do the same with samuri33 in Erie next year.

TBH at this point I just look for good mid-range at listening volume that can be heard while cruising (with the CC closed). When we anchor up for the day we have a Bluetooth speaker we put on the transom to listen to.

AK Prolly why I went a little over board on my stereo upgrade. I loce to listen to both the CC and the tunes. Gets my motor running and my mind in a great place.

I will start a thread later. But wish I could do a meet up this year but I really don't think it's going to happen.
So I'm going to start a 2020 meet up there on TR. I've already started rounding up a few members so I think this could get pretty big. Again I think members from both coast will show up.

Yea but how do the resorts fill up then that week. I really just want our group together. Sorry I'm spoiled. I like bond with this group. I'm going to get a hold of Dooleys just Down from you to see if they have the whole resort open one week. They have 20 private slips to rent for 8 bucks a day. I stayed their last time and it was great.
