They combine full-range audio playback with integrated Color Optix RGB lighting in a white speaker and grille design. The system is intended for owners who need sound equipment built to handle sun, water exposure, and marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach M2-65 uses a 4-ohm design with a 150-watt RMS power rating and a 40 Hz to 24 kHz frequency response. A 1-inch laminated PXNX dome tweeter is integrated into the speaker assembly, while the concealed crossover network manages the transition between the woofer and tweeter. This creates a compact full-range speaker solution without requiring separately mounted tweeters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe speaker uses an injection-molded mineral-filled polypropylene cone, a UV- and salt-fog-resistant TPE surround, and a high-temperature PA66 glass-filled frame. Its vented motor includes a water-repelling nano-coated mesh screen, and the speaker uses corrosion-resistant marine-grade connection hardware. The M2-65 is IP67 certified as part of Rockford Fosgate's Element Ready design approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntegrated RGB LEDs can be connected through the speaker's Color Optix wiring system. When used with the separately sold Rockford Fosgate PMX-RGB Color Optix controller, lighting can be managed through the RF Connect app. Integrated Deutsch and Amphenol-style connection provisions help support organized speaker and lighting connections in compatible systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M2-65 fits a 5.36-inch cutout and requires 2.49 inches of mounting depth, making it suitable for many marine speaker locations with adequate rear clearance. It includes a removable sport grille, stainless-steel grille inserts, stainless mounting screws, RGB harnesses, and driver bits. It can be used as a direct replacement for compatible 6.5-inch marine speakers or as part of a larger Color Optix audio and lighting system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-Way Coaxial Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines the woofer and 1-inch tweeter in each speaker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e150-Watt RMS Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports amplification matched to its continuous power capability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Optix RGB Lighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds integrated selectable RGB illumination to the installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP67 Element Ready Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built for water, UV, salt, and fog exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcealed Crossover Network:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrates tweeter filtering within the speaker assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Grille Styling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes sport grilles and stainless-steel grille inserts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M2-65 pairs a mineral-filled polypropylene cone with a co-molded TPE surround and a UV-stable Centrex plastic grille. Its PA66 frame contains 30% glass fill and UV inhibitors, while gold-plated marine-grade brass terminals and stainless-steel mounting hardware are intended to support durable outdoor installations. The integrated tweeter uses a dual-neodymium motor, and the crossover network is fully sealed within the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm a 5.36-inch mounting cutout, 2.49 inches of rear mounting depth, and clearance for the 7.05-inch overall speaker diameter before installation. The speakers can be connected using the included spade connectors or an optional Deutsch-style speaker connector; observe positive and negative speaker polarity. For Color Optix lighting, use the supplied RGB harnesses and either a PMX-RGB controller or a properly fused switched 12-volt setup; Rockford Fosgate recommends at least 20-gauge wire for hard-wired lighting connections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rockford Fosgate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45633815576646,"sku":"M2-65","price":479.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/710jqOB6JcL.jpg?v=1784425487","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/rockford-fosgate-m2-65-6-5-color-optix-marine-speakers","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
