Buying speakers is so subjective, everyone has a different sound quality they consider acceptable.
I first read all the negative reviews, and for the price i had to try them.
My boat was purchased used with a set of 5” Kenwood installed and no deck, so first year we had no tunes.
I installed JL Auddio 700/6 amp and Jl 50 m media center and connected the old speakers and was shocked, they actually sounded pretty good.
When out of the lake on windly rough day the 5” speakers just were not enough. It became quite clear to me how people can blow there speakers quite easily by over powering.
So added 2 of these 8 inch speakers to back of the boat, run slightly higher gain on amp to the 8” rear over the 5” fronts, and the sound output seems to have doubled and on rough windy days i still well bellow the -16 dB level i was playing the 5” at.
I use a recording device to record the speakers at high levels and then play it back with head phones at low levels to fun the Max volume there becomes audible distortion. Then i can find my max volume level without damaging the speakers.
The sound quality isn’t one of my fav as I’m very partial to silk tweeter and softer speakers like, boss, high end automotive jl audio. And in large spaces like my shop Klipsh.
But the bang for the buck on these is a bargain i would have lost money betting against these that they couldn’t or wouldn’t sound 1/2 as good as they do.
I really checked the tweeters good after the reviews said so many came loose or broken. I couldn’t get either of these to budge.
Add in.
There a little lacking in response at low levels so i would recommend paring them up with a 4-5.5” speakers to get better low volume responses and the ability to have beach party

Product Description
Kenwood KFC-2053MRW - 8" 2-way marine speakers with white grilles
Life on the water can be hard on speakers, but Kenwood's KFC-2053MRW 8" marine speakers deliver powerful sound in any conditions. These full-range speakers handle up to 100 watts RMS, so they'll rock your world when powered by a nice marine amp, but they're also efficient enough to extract maximum performance from your Kenwood marine receiver. They're a great option if you want full bass response in your boat but you don't want to install a separate sub.
Woofer
The woofers use water-resistant cones with Santoprene rubber surround.
Big speakers, big sound
Kenwood built these speakers to last, with rugged waterproof polypropylene cones and durable rubber surrounds that won't give in to high humidity and UV exposure. A sturdy plastic shell protects the basket and magnet against corrosion, while the stainless steel grille keeps debris away from the good stuff.
Balanced Dome Tweeter
Each speaker features a 1.0" balanced dome PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide) tweeter; PEI is a polymer film that produces a wide soundstage for superior imaging.

Loud and clear.
I have 8 of these kenwood 8s in my boat powered by 2 jbl marine amps. These speakers rock. Very loud and clear.
