Rockford Fosgate PM282H-B Punch Marine 8" 300W Speaker w/ Horn Tweeter - Black
Rockford Fosgate PM282H-B Punch Marine 8 Inch 2-Way Full-Range Speaker with Horn Tweeter in Black
A marine grade 8 inch 2-way full-range coaxial speaker in black, handling 150W RMS and 300W peak with 93dB sensitivity and an integrated 1 inch high-efficiency horn tweeter. Features a TPE surround, aramid fiber spider, neodymium motor with IDHS aluminium heat-sinking shorting ring, VAST surround technology, fully sealed 12dB/octave ICC crossover, and corrosion-resistant gold-plated polarised input terminals with spare expansion connections for the PM2T-S tweeter kit. True Marine Grade compliant and ASTM tested. Please note this product has been replaced by the M2-8HB.
Product Overview
The Rockford Fosgate PM282H-B is a Punch Marine series 8 inch 2-way full-range coaxial speaker in black with an integrated 1 inch (25mm) high-efficiency horn tweeter mounted inline with the midrange driver. The horn tweeter delivers high-efficiency, directional high-frequency output well suited to marine environments where audio needs to project clearly over ambient noise.
The mineral-filled polypropylene cone body features integrated UV inhibitors and is attached to the UV stable Centrex 814 injection-moulded plastic frame by a UV and salt-fog resistant TPE (Thermo-Plastic Elastomer) surround. The moisture, tear, and fatigue-resistant aramid fiber spider provides consistent excursion control. The neodymium matched motor structure features an Integrated Aluminum Heat Sinking Shorting Ring (IDHS) for maximum excursion and output capability. Rockford Fosgate's VAST (Vertical Attach Surround Technique) increases the effective radiating cone area by up to 25%.
The fully sealed 12dB/octave ICC (Integrated Concealed Crossover) is housed inside the basket for a clean installation. Gold-plated polarised input terminals are corrosion resistant, and an integrated spare terminal set supports the optional PM2T-S tweeter kit for further system expansion. Fully insulated flex lead wires are stitched under the spider. An 18 gauge stainless steel grille with Centrex plastic assembly is included, fastened with stainless steel hardware. The FlexFit slot-mounted frame pattern allows fine-tuning of the speaker mounting position during installation. CEA-2031 certified power handling. True Marine Grade compliant and ASTM tested throughout.

Features & Benefits
Integrated 1 Inch High-Efficiency Horn Tweeter: The inline-mounted 1 inch horn tweeter projects high-frequency sound with greater efficiency and directional accuracy than a conventional dome tweeter, delivering clear, far-reaching audio in the 63Hz-22kHz range suited to marine environments.
93dB Sensitivity - High Efficiency Output: At 93dB sensitivity (1W/1m), the PM282H-B produces more volume per watt than lower-sensitivity marine speakers, making it effective even when powered by a modest external marine amplifier or a source unit's internal amplifier.
VAST Surround Technology - Up to 25% More Cone Area: Rockford Fosgate's patented Vertical Attach Surround Technique attaches the TPE surround vertically to the cone, increasing the effective radiating cone area by up to 25% and delivering more bass and midrange output from the same 8 inch driver.
Neodymium Motor with IDHS Aluminium Heat-Sinking Shorting Ring: The neodymium matched motor structure incorporates an Integrated Aluminum Heat Sinking Shorting Ring (IDHS) that reduces distortion at high excursion levels and allows sustained high output without thermal failure.
12dB/Octave Fully Sealed ICC Crossover: The Integrated Concealed Crossover is fully sealed and hidden inside the basket, providing a precise 12dB/octave high-pass roll-off for the horn tweeter while protecting the crossover components from environmental exposure.
Spare Terminal Set for PM2T-S Tweeter Expansion: The gold-plated polarised input terminals include an integrated spare terminal set, allowing the optional PM2T-S tweeter kit to be added to the system for additional high-frequency coverage without modifying the existing wiring.
FlexFit Basket - Adjustable Mounting Position: The slot-mounted FlexFit frame pattern allows fine-tuning of the speaker's mounting position during installation, providing flexibility to achieve the best fit in different mounting locations without drilling new holes.
True Marine Grade Compliance - ASTM Tested: The PM282H-B carries True Marine Grade compliance and is tested to ASTM standards for resistance to UV radiation, salt fog, and other harsh marine environmental conditions.

- M2-8HB - Current replacement product for the PM282H-B with updated M2 series construction and Color Optix lighting
- PM2T-S - Rockford Fosgate Punch Marine add-on tweeter kit, compatible via the spare terminal set integrated into the PM282H-B
- M2-300X4 - M2 series 300W 4-channel marine amplifier for powering the PM282H-B pair in a full marine audio build
- M5-800X4 - M5 series 800W 4-channel marine amplifier for higher-output system builds
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PM282H-B still available or has it been replaced?
This product has been replaced by the M2-8HB, which is the current Rockford Fosgate Punch Marine 8 inch black horn speaker equivalent with updated M2 series construction and Color Optix LED lighting. Please contact us for current product availability and equivalent replacement options.
What is the difference between the PM282H-B and the M2-8HB?
The PM282H-B is from the previous Punch Marine PM2 series, featuring a 150W RMS rating, True Marine Grade compliance, VAST surround, and a fully sealed ICC crossover. The M2-8HB is the current M2 series replacement, adding Color Optix RGB LED lighting, Deutsch/Amphenol plug-and-play connectors, ASTM B117, G154 and ISO vibration test certifications, and higher power handling at 300W RMS. The M2-8HB is the recommended current alternative.
Can I add additional tweeters to the PM282H-B?
Yes. The PM282H-B includes an integrated spare terminal set on the gold-plated polarised input terminals, designed to accept the optional PM2T-S tweeter kit for additional high-frequency coverage. No wiring modification is required - the PM2T-S connects directly to the spare terminals.
What mounting depth does the PM282H-B require?
The PM282H-B requires a mounting depth of 3.42 inches (86.9mm). Measure the available depth behind the mounting surface before purchasing to confirm the speaker will fit without interference from hull structure or wiring.
Is the PM282H-B suitable for saltwater environments?
Yes. The PM282H-B carries True Marine Grade compliance and is tested to ASTM standards for UV and salt-fog resistance. The TPE surround is UV and salt-fog resistant, the aramid fiber spider is moisture and fatigue resistant, the frame is UV stable Centrex plastic, and all hardware is stainless steel throughout.
