Ocean Breeze Marine Speaker Spacer f/FUSION FR7022 - 7" Speakers - .50" - Black

The Ocean Breeze Marine Speaker Spacer for FUSION FR7022 7" Speakers is a precision-engineered mounting solution designed to solve the most common installation constraint in marine audio systems: insufficient mounting depth. When factory or aftermarket dashboard, bulkhead, or panel cutouts lack the depth required for direct speaker installation, this half-inch spacer ring bridges that gap, enabling secure and properly-aligned speaker mounting without modification to the cabinet or mounting surface. Built for saltwater environments where corrosion and material degradation pose constant threats, this spacer supports the full weight and vibration load of marine-grade 7-inch speakers while maintaining acoustic integrity.

The spacer measures 0.50 inches in thickness with a 1/16-inch rounded edge to prevent sharp edges that could snag wiring or damage gaskets during installation. Its outer diameter of 7.69 inches accommodates the FUSION FR7022 mounting flange, while the 6.75-inch bolt-hole diameter ensures alignment with OEM fastening patterns. The 6.13-inch mounting hole diameter maintains compatibility with speaker cone clearance specifications, eliminating potential contact issues or acoustic interference. Black powder-coat finish resists corrosion in marine environments, a critical consideration for systems exposed to salt spray, moisture, and UV degradation common in offshore, coastal, and freshwater applications.

This spacer is essential for installers and boat owners upgrading or replacing marine audio systems on vessels where panel thickness or cabinet depth doesn't accommodate direct speaker mounting. Typical applications include center console speedboats, cabin cruisers, pontoons, and fishing platforms where factory or custom speaker locations require standoff mounting. Users integrating FUSION marine audio systems into retrofit or original-equipment installations rely on these spacers to maintain factory mounting patterns, waterproofing seals, and speaker geometry without fabricating custom brackets or drilling new mounting holes.

Marine-grade speaker spacers are utility items that receive minimal visibility but critical functional importance—improper depth accommodation leads to cone strike, gasket failure, water intrusion, and speaker damage. A purpose-built spacer engineered to FUSION specifications eliminates guesswork and ensures installation meets OEM standards, preserving warranty coverage and acoustic performance over the life of the system.
