Audiopipe APSW62GM 6.5 Marine Speaker Box - Under-Gunnel Fiberglass

Our review of the Audiopipe APSW62GM 6.5 Marine Speaker Box focuses on boat owners and marine audio installers who need a durable, finished enclosure to house 6.5 in speakers under a gunnel. The bottom line: this is a well built, white fiberglass box that offers a polished finish and sturdy construction, making it a smart option when appearance and longevity matter. It is best for installations where depth is limited but some width is available, and for buyers who value a retail-ready product with a 30-day manufacturer warranty.

Key Features

• White Fiberglass Construction: The fiberglass shell provides a durable, water-resistant housing that holds up in marine environments and cleans easily after a day on the water.
• Fits 6.5 in Speakers: Purpose-built to accept most 6.5 in speakers, so you can use a wide range of marine drivers without the need for a separate custom box.
• Under-Gunnel Design: Low-profile shape and dimensions make it suitable to mount under many gunnels where traditional round enclosures might not fit.
• Retail Condition with Warranty: Ships new for retail with a 30-day manufacturer warranty, giving buyers short-term protection against defects out of the box.
• Finished Appearance: The smooth white finish is ready to match many boat interiors and requires little to no additional painting or trimming for a clean install.

Who It's For

Boat owners upgrading their on-water sound system and marine installers who need a ready-made enclosure for 6.5 in speakers will find real value here; the fiberglass build and finished surface eliminate the need for a custom box or extensive finishing work. It suits owners of boats with accessible gunnel cavities where a low-height enclosure is required.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers with very tight mounting envelopes where the box width or depth will interfere with other components, and anyone expecting a precision-matched fit for every 6.5 in driver without verifying speaker depth and bezel size first, since a few customers reported it can seem large with some speaker models.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid, overbuilt fiberglass construction that feels durable and long lasting in marine environments.
• Clean white finish that matches many boats and can eliminate the need for additional finishing.
• Designed specifically to fit under gunnels, making it useful where vertical space is limited.

Cons

• Some customers report the internal space or external size seems large for certain 6.5 in speakers, so check dimensions against your drivers before buying.
