I just picked up 3 sets of JL MX650 from West Marine. I noticed that one of the boxes were a different color but didn't thnk too much about them. They all rang up for $199 plus tax. Installing them I noticed one pair is different from the other. It looks like I may have received the M650 for the price of the MX650. Let me know if I am correct. Also if so where should I place it. I am running 4 of them inside the boat with the other 2 behind the swim platform cushions. Should I put the M650s behind the cushions? I am running them off 2 Clarion XC1410.

Whats the difference between the two?
Yeah, put the two odd ones in the back swim deck if it's all about looks.
If the two odd ones are a better speaker put them in the cabin rear as that's where most passengers will be.
 
They look exactly alike except the backs of them. Not sure of the difference between the two. It's a substantial difference since the M650s are $200 more. Good point on location.
