Kicker Marine Audio Florida Keys
Nowhere in Florida is tougher on boat audio than the Keys: strong sun, constant salt air, long runs from Key Largo to Islamorada and sandbar days that last into the night. As South Florida's Kicker marine boat speaker specialist, Ocean Rock Audio recommends Kicker gear designed and tested for exactly this kind of exposure.
Built for Keys conditions
Kicker's marine speakers and subs meet or exceed ASTM B117 200-hour salt fog and ASTM G154 400-hour UV standards. Look for these features: - UV-treated polypropylene cones and Santoprene surrounds - UV-resistant polymer baskets that won't rust - 316L stainless mounting hardware - Sealed terminals and gaskets
A Keys-ready Kicker system
- Speakers: KM 6.5" coaxials for factory cutouts, or the KM654L RGB LED for night runs. See all 6.5" marine speakers.
- Sub: the KMF12 free-air sub needs no enclosure, which is ideal on flats boats and center consoles where storage space matters.
- Amp: the KMA360.4 has a conformal-coated circuit board and ABYC/NMMA-compliant connections. For multi-zone boats, choose the KMA600.6.
- Stereo: the KMC2 is IP67-rated and fits a 3" gauge hole on compact consoles.
- Wiring: the KMPK4 4-gauge marine amp kit.
Salt-care tips from South Florida
- Rinse speaker grilles with fresh water after every saltwater trip.
- Mount amplifiers high and dry, away from bilge spray.
- Use tinned marine wire and heat-shrink connections.
- Cover helm electronics when the boat is stored outdoors.

Flats boats and backcountry skiffs
On a flats boat every inch of storage counts, and noise can spook fish. A pair of compact KM44 4" speakers at the console, fed straight from a KMC2, gives you music on the run without a bulky amp. Turn it down when you pole onto the flat.

FAQ
Will my speakers fade in the Keys sun? Kicker marine speakers are UV-tested to ASTM G154. Covering the boat between trips extends the life of any electronics.
What's the best sub for a flats boat or small center console? A free-air sub like the KMF10 or KMF12 saves space because it doesn't need a box.
Can one amp run my whole boat? Many boats run fine on a single KMA360.4 or KMA600.6, depending on speaker count and whether you add a sub.
