Blending style and substance, the Apollo series has been redesigned to offer an exceptional audio experience with an attractive new look and feel that’s easy to customize and install,”
said Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales.
Unrivaled Audio Excellence at Sea
The Fusion Apollo speakers and subwoofers are specifically engineered to deliver premium audio at high volumes without compromising clarity. The new motor design and composite materials ensure rich, high-fidelity sound that resonates throughout the entire audio curve, providing a balanced listening experience no matter the environment.
The coaxial speakers feature precision-tuned drivers that generate superior sound reproduction, while the subwoofers offer deep, resonant bass that lets boaters not just hear their music but also feel it. Whether at anchor or on the move, the Apollo speakers and subwoofers are engineered to perform in the most demanding marine environments.
For those seeking the ultimate in sound performance, the Apollo series integrates seamlessly with Fusion stereos and amplifiers (sold separately). This optimized ecosystem delivers maximum volume with minimal distortion, ensuring that your music sounds crystal clear, even at full throttle. Users can control the system effortlessly via a Garmin smartwatch, smartphone, or the Fusion Audio App, allowing for convenient, intuitive control of their onboard audio system.
Customizable Style with Dual-Hue LED Lighting
Setting the Apollo series apart from other marine audio products is the inclusion of interchangeable grilles and dual-hue LED lighting rings, allowing for endless personalization. The grilles are available in sports white, sports gray, and optional shielded white or shielded gray (sold separately), giving boat owners the flexibility to match their speakers with the overall design of their vessel.
The dual-hue LED lighting offers a wide spectrum of colors, enabling boaters to set the perfect ambiance, whether they want vibrant hues for a party atmosphere or softer tones for a relaxing evening on the water. The Apollo speakers and subwoofers support traditional red, green, and blue LEDs, as well as cool white and warm white lighting. For those looking to take their lighting control to the next level, Garmin’s Spectra™ LED control modules enable full control of the illumination via a Garmin chartplotter or the ActiveCaptain app on a smartphone.
“The new LED lighting not only enhances the aesthetic of any boat but also allows users to create a mood that matches their music and environment,” Bartel said. “It’s a unique feature that adds both style and functionality to the Apollo speakers and subwoofers.”

Built to withstand the harsh conditions of marine environments, the Apollo series is constructed with superior marinized materials. Rated to IP66 and IP67 standards for dust and water protection, these speakers and subwoofers are engineered to endure exposure to salt fog, temperature extremes, vibration, and UV rays, making them ideal for long-term use in all weather conditions. Additionally, the series complies with ISO12216 standards for pressure and water tightness, ensuring durability and reliability even in rough waters.
Garmin’s Apollo speakers and subwoofers also feature embedded plug-and-play, water-resistant connectors, meeting ABYC industry standards for simplified installation, whether for aftermarket or OEM applications. The easy installation process is complemented by enhanced protection against the elements, ensuring that the system performs flawlessly year after year.
