Rockford Fosgate M2WL-8 M2 Series 8 Inch 2-Way Wake Tower Speakers in White - Pair
A pair of marine grade 8 inch 2-way wake tower speakers with Color Optix RGB LED lighting, 250W RMS handling, and a universal clamping system for bars from 1.5 to 3.0 inches in diameter. Loaded sealed enclosures in white with dual Deutsch/Amphenol 6-pin marine connectors, interchangeable grille options, and 360-degree rotating 3DIL rear logo. Sold as a pair. Backed by a 1 year warranty.
Product Overview
The Rockford Fosgate M2WL-8 is a pair of M2 series 8 inch 2-way loaded wake tower speaker enclosures in white, purpose-built for the marine environment. Each enclosure houses the M2-8 2-way full-range speaker and is constructed from high-density ASA material with IPX6 water intrusion rating and full Element Ready protection against dust, UV, temperature extremes, corrosion, and vibration.
The included universal clamp system mounts to wake tower bars from 1.5 to 3.0 inches in diameter and offers 360 degrees of rotation, allowing the speaker to be aimed in any direction. Direct mounting is also supported for bars with that capability. Dual integrated Deutsch/Amphenol 6-pin connectors provide True Marine Ecosystem plug-and-play connectivity with flexible installation options. The ICC (Integrated Concealed Crossover) is hidden inside the basket for a cleaner look and easier installation.
Color Optix RGB LED lighting is fully controllable via the PMX-RGB controller and RF Connect app (available on iOS and Android). The 3DIL (3D Illuminated Logo) technology allows the rear Rockford Fosgate emblem to rotate 365 degrees so it remains correctly oriented regardless of mounting angle. Both stainless steel and sport grilles are included, with additional grille options available separately for further customisation. The black version of these speakers is available as the M2WL-8B. Klippel Verified certification and VAST surround technology are applied throughout the M2 series.
Features & Benefits
Color Optix RGB LED Lighting - App Controlled: The Color Optix system delivers bright, wide-angle RGB illumination fully controllable via the PMX-RGB controller and RF Connect app on iOS and Android. Lighting colour, effects, and intensity can be customised to match your boat or personal style.
3DIL Technology - 365-Degree Rotating Rear Logo: The 3D Illuminated Logo (3DIL) rotates a full 365 degrees so the illuminated Rockford Fosgate rear emblem is always correctly oriented regardless of the angle at which the speaker is mounted to the tower.
Universal Clamping System - 1.5 to 3.0 Inch Bars: The included universal clamps fit wake tower bars from 1.5 to 3.0 inches in diameter and offer full 360-degree rotation, allowing the speakers to be pointed in any direction for optimal audio coverage. Rubber inserts for both 1.5-2.5 inch and 2.5-3.0 inch bars are included.
True Marine Ecosystem - Dual Deutsch/Amphenol 6-Pin Connectors: Dual integrated Deutsch and Amphenol 6-pin connectors provide industry-leading marine plug-and-play connectivity, enabling flexible installation and reliable waterproof signal and power connections throughout the system.
VAST Surround Technology - Up to 25% More Cone Area: Rockford Fosgate's Vertical Attach Surround Technique attaches the surround vertically to the cone, increasing the effective radiating cone area by up to 25% and delivering more output from the same physical speaker size.
ICC Crossover - Integrated and Concealed: The Integrated Concealed Crossover is hidden inside the basket, resulting in a cleaner external appearance and simplifying installation by eliminating the need for a separate crossover component.
Multiple Grille Options Included: Both stainless steel and sport grilles are included in the box, with additional grille options available separately to match the look and style of any boat or powersports vehicle.
Element Ready and IPX6 Rated: All components are protected against dust, UV radiation, temperature extremes, water, corrosion, and vibration. IPX6 rating confirms protection against powerful jets of water from any direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Color Optix lighting require a separate controller?
Yes. Color Optix RGB lighting requires the PMX-RGB controller and the RF Connect app (available on iOS and Android) to access full colour control, lighting effects, and brightness adjustment. The PMX-RGB controller is sold separately and is not included in the box.
What wake tower bar sizes are compatible with the included clamps?
The included universal clamps fit bars from 1.5 to 3.0 inches in diameter. Rubber inserts for 1.5-2.5 inch bars and 2.5-3.0 inch bars are both included in the box. The speakers can also be direct mounted to compatible tower bars that support that option.
What is 3DIL technology and why does it matter?
3DIL (3D Illuminated Logo) allows the illuminated Rockford Fosgate rear emblem to rotate a full 365 degrees independently of the speaker enclosure. This means the logo remains correctly oriented and readable regardless of the angle the speaker is mounted at on the tower, maintaining a clean and professional appearance from any viewing position.
What is the difference between the M2WL-8 and the M2WL-8B?
The M2WL-8 and M2WL-8B are identical in specifications and features. The only difference is the enclosure colour - the M2WL-8 is white and the M2WL-8B is black. Choose based on the colour scheme of your boat or wake tower setup.
Are additional grille styles available beyond what is included in the box?
Yes. The box includes both stainless steel and sport grilles. Rockford Fosgate offers additional grille options separately to further personalise the look of the M2WL-8 to match the style of your vessel or powersports vehicle.
