About the Kicker KM42CW

Jon Paul

Small speakers, sweet sound

Kicker's KM42CW 4" marine speakers sound terrific and look great on any boat. Designed for life on the water, these speakers feature sealed motors, rubber cone surrounds, and locking terminal covers to keep spray away from the internal componentry. They'll also stand up to harsh sunlight, thanks to special UV treatments on the cones, surrounds, baskets, and grilles. Whether you're on fresh water or salt, these speakers will give you years of outstanding performance. And their 2-ohm impedance will draw a little extra power out of your marine amplifier.

Rugged and versatile

These 4" speakers are rugged enough for marine duty, but they're easy on your ears. The durable poly woofers and balanced dome tweeters cut through wind, waves, and engine roar to deliver great sound without annoying harshness. Whether you're mounting them in a bulkhead, or installing them in a set of Kicker's custom enclosures, Kicker KM42CW speakers will make your day on the water just a little bit better than it was already.

Absolutely. I installed two in a 1979 ski tique. These speakers produce great sound quality. Although I would recommend powering them with a compact amplifier for better and louder sound.

Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system.

Q
Will these work with a home theater receiver? I'd like to mount outside of travel trailer under awning.

They are a two ohm speaker , your home theater is probally 8 ohm , you could probably use the 4 ohm that they sell it will just pull a little more Power . But they are awesome and stand up to any water and weather conditions. I use a pair on my jet ski , salt water may I add , no problem s been over a year jumping waves. I highly recommend!
jeremy l  Jul 13, 2017
A
These are 4 ohm and most home receivers use 8 ohm speakers. These only work if your receiver will allow 4 ohm speakers
