Stage 1 Audio Package - RA210/M3-650

Complete Marine Audio Source Package: Fusion RA210 + JL Audio M3 Speakers

This package pairs the Fusion® MS-RA210 head unit with two pairs (four total) of JL Audio® M3-650X-S-Gw 6.5" coaxial speakers and JL Audio's Motorola-style hideaway AM/FM antenna — everything you need to put a real, marine-grade sound system on the helm in one order, with enough speaker coverage for both a helm zone and a cockpit or aft zone. No guessing on compatibility, no mismatched power handling, no separate antenna order after the fact. Just a source unit, four speakers built to run off it, and the antenna it needs to pull in AM/FM, boxed together and ready to install.

Why This Combo Works

The RA210 is a genuinely capable head unit for the price — built-in DSP, a 2.7" full-color display, and enough source flexibility (Bluetooth, AM/FM, SiriusXM-ready, USB, Aux, DAB+) to cover nearly any setup. Its Multi-Zone™ capability makes it a natural fit for running four speakers across two zones — helm and cockpit, for example — each with independent volume control. Its Class-D amp section is tuned to comfortably drive coaxials like the M3-650X without needing an external amplifier, which is exactly where the JL Audio M3 speakers live: 20W-capable at minimum, happiest in the 75-100W range, and built specifically for the marine environment rather than adapted from automotive parts. The antenna rounds it out — a hide-away Motorola-style AM/FM antenna built from marine-grade materials so you're not stuck buying reception hardware separately.

1. Fusion® MS-RA210 Stereo (010-02250-00)

A compact marine head unit built around Fusion's DSP platform, with a 2.7" optically bonded full-color LCD set into a black face for a clean look at the helm. It mounts flush or flat, and the display and controls stay legible in direct sun.

• Sources: AM/FM, Bluetooth, USB, Aux-in, SiriusXM-ready, DAB+
• DSP: Built-in Digital Signal Processing with feed-forward limiting for distortion-free output at any volume
• Zones: Multi-Zone™ — two independently controlled audio zones, ideal for splitting this package's four speakers across helm and cockpit
• Amplifier: Class-D, ~90% efficient, lower heat and power draw than traditional amp sections
• Connectivity: Fusion-Link™ app control (iOS/Android), Garmin watch control via Fusion-Link Lite, NMEA 2000® integration
• Water resistance: IPX6 & IPX7-rated front panel (properly mounted)
• Speed-based volume: Auto-adjusts volume vs. boat speed when paired with an NMEA 2000 speed source
• In the box: Mounting gasket, self-tapping screws, screw covers, power/speaker harness, Aux-in/line-out/sub-out harness, 6 ft NMEA 2000 drop cable

2. JL Audio® M3-650X-S-Gw 6.5" Coaxial Speakers — Two Pairs / Four Total (010-03063-00)

JL Audio's M3 line sits below the flagship M6 series but is still purpose-built for marine duty rather than repurposed car audio — long-excursion woofer, silk dome tweeter, and UV- and corrosion-resistant polymer construction throughout, finished with gloss white sport grilles. This package includes two pairs (four speakers total), enough to wire a full two-zone system off the RA210's Multi-Zone™ output.

• Configuration: 2-way coaxial, 6.5" woofer + 0.75" silk dome tweeter
• Woofer: Mica-filled IMPP cone, long-excursion design, rubber surround
• Power handling: 60W RMS / 225W peak per speaker
• Impedance: 4 ohms
• Sensitivity: 89.5 dB @ 1W
• Frequency response: 55 Hz – 25 kHz
• Recommended power: 20W minimum, 75–100W per channel for best performance
• Mounting: Wide flange, 6-hole pattern; cutout ~5", top-mount depth ~2.875"
• Air space: Free-air rated — needs at least 2 cu. ft. (57 L) of enclosed air volume behind each speaker for full low-frequency performance
• Finish: Gloss white, UV- and corrosion-resistant sport grille
• Quantity in this package: 4 speakers (2 pairs)

3. JL Audio® XMD-WHTANT-AM/FM Hideaway Antenna (010-13555-00)

A low-profile, hide-away AM/FM antenna built to withstand real saltwater exposure and wired to plug straight into the RA210's standard Motorola-style antenna input.

• Reception: AM/FM
• Connector: Standard Motorola®-type male plug
• Build: Marine-grade materials, engineered for saltwater environments
• Color: White
• Mount style: Hide-away / concealed mount

What's Included

• 1x Fusion MS-RA210 Stereo (010-02250-00) with mounting hardware, gasket, and wiring harnesses
• 4x JL Audio M3-650X-S-Gw 6.5" Coaxial Speakers (010-03063-00) — 2 pairs
• 1x JL Audio XMD-WHTANT-AM/FM Hideaway AM/FM Antenna (010-13555-00)

Note: Speaker wire, tinned marine-grade connectors, and mounting fasteners for non-standard dash cutouts are not included. Each speaker requires a minimum of 2 cu. ft. of enclosed air space for proper low-frequency performance — confirm cavity volume before installing in tight console or gunwale locations. With four speakers on a two-zone head unit, plan your zone wiring (helm pair vs. cockpit/aft pair) before running cable.
