Marine audio speakers are purpose-built to survive harsh environments. They are significantly more robust than car speakers, featuring UV-resistant components to prevent fading and cracking, and rust-proof hardware to fight corrosion from salt and humidity. Most importantly, they carry a high IP (Ingress Protection) rating (like IPX6 or higher), certifying them as waterproof and dust-tight to handle heavy spray, wash-downs, and dirt.

The IP rating (Ingress Protection) is an international standard that measures a product's resistance to dust and liquids. For marine and powersports audio, this rating is critical. A rating like IP67 means the gear is completely dustproof (the '6') and can withstand temporary submersion up to one meter (the '7'). Choosing gear with high IP ratings ensures your system will maintain performance and integrity after a wave washes over the deck or a mud puddle splashes your UTV.The Compustar anti-theft solution directly counters this threat with Secure Push-to-Start (SPTS) technology. When your Compustar security system is armed, it physically disables the push-to-start button on your dash. This means that even if a thief successfully uses a relay device to open your door, they cannot start the engine and drive away without first disarming the system using your authorized Compustar remote or the DroneMobile app. It's the ultimate barrier against relay attack car theft.

We highly recommend using dedicated marine amplifiers over standard car amps. Marine amplifiers feature corrosion-resistant internal components and exterior chassis, often with conformal-coated circuit boards. Standard car amps will fail quickly when exposed to humidity, salt, or moisture. Using the correct powersports audio amplifier ensures reliable power delivery and system longevity, protecting your investment for years of outdoor use.
