About the Kicker KM6LW
Subtle blue hue, powerful sound
Subtle blue hue, powerful sound
Add a little light to your marine audio experience with these LED-enhanced speakers from Kicker. These classic white speakers blend beautifully into your boat's interior, but subtle blue LED lighting gives them a little something extra. The soft light adds safety, not to mention a certain ambiance, to any evening cruise.
Kicker builds these speakers to last, with sealed motors, cones, and locking terminal covers that keep the water away from the important stuff inside. A special UV treatment on the cones, surrounds, baskets, and grilles helps protect the exterior from punishing sunlight. Whether you're cruising in fresh water or salt, these speakers will sound — and look — great for years to come.
You'll be impressed by the sound, too, as Kicker's MAXBasket Geometry packs an oversized woofer into a compact basket for an easy fit into tight bulkheads. Durable 3/4" balanced dome tweeters mounted flush in the grilles give you clear highs that slice through the ambient noise that's part of a day on the water.
Note: Kicker describes this model as a 6" speaker. Most manufacturers designate this same frame size as a 6-1/2" speaker. For simplicity's sake, we list it as a 6-1/2" speaker.

Features
Marine-Ready: The Kicker KM6LW Marine Coaxial Speakers are engineered to meet or exceed industry standards for environmental humidity and corrosion, and for material degradation due to UV exposure. The speakers feature sealed motors, cones, and locking wire terminal covers. UV treatments on the cones, surrounds, baskets, and grilles help them last in freshwater or saltwater environments.
LEDs: Six blue LEDs on the back of the grille give the illusion of a glowing speaker cone. Switched 12 volt and ground wires (in addition to the speaker wire) are necessary to turn the LEDs on.
MAXBasket Geometry: The speakers are engineered using Kicker's MAXBasket Geometry, meaning an oversized, louder 6.5" cone performs in a speaker basket designed for a smaller 5" cutout.
Woofer Cone: The injection-molded polypropylene cones have UV, pollution, and moisture resistance. For increased durability, they use Santoprene rubber surrounds.
Integrated Grilles: The KM6LWs come with a water-resistant, bolt-through, high-impact plastic grille with the 1/2" PEI (Polyetherimide) dome tweeter permanently mounted in the center of the grille. Note: The grilles are not designed to be removed.
Magnetic Shielding: The motor structures are magnetically shielded, minimizing compass and gauge deviation in your dash.
Terminal Cover: The speakers feature splash and spray resistant, locking terminal covers. These covers have water-resistant gaskets to prevent terminal corrosion and electrical shorting.
Stainless Steel Hardware: The provided hardware is forged from corrosion-proof 316L stainless steel.

Put these in with clarian amp- they handle the power well- very loud-.the led lights are nice touch. be prepared to run power and ground to each for the led deal. thought they would cast more light-not but still look good.
