Protect your tower speakers

Life on the water can be hard on speakers — especially tower speakers. These durable, weatherproof enclosures will protect your Kicker 6-1/2" marine speakers (not included) from salt, spray, dust, and damage under even the toughest conditions.

Rugged ABS plastic shells

Designed specifically for marine and powersports applications, these bold black enclosures are built to take whatever your active outdoor lifestyle can dish out. With rugged ABS plastic shells and an acoustic polyfill lining, you get long-lasting durability and outstanding performance. The package includes 2-5/8" aluminum tower-pipe clamps and mounting adapters for three popular pipe diameters.

Whether you're mounting your Kicker speakers on a boat, an SUV, or even a Jeep, you want your music to sound great. These enclosures rotate nine degrees in either direction, so you can aim the speaker to achieve maximum coverage. Slotted mounting holes accommodate different speaker bolt patterns, while stainless-steel speaker terminals ensure quick and easy wiring connections.

Kicker also makes enclosures for their 8" and 4" marine speakers.

Features

Overview: The Kicker KMTES is a pair of unloaded enclosures designed for 6-1/2" Kicker marine speakers. The tough ABS, weather-proof enclosures have eight slotted mounting holes for different bolt patterns. Because the mounting brackets are bolted to slotted holes in the enclosures, the speakers can be rotated up to 9° left or right. Acoustic poly-fill is included to deliver the best possible sound quality.

Mounting: Mounting hardware is included to fit tubing sizes 2-1/4", 2-3/8", 2-1/2", and 2-5/8 (without adapters). The brackets are bolted to the top (or bottom if you flip them over) of the speakers, so they could be used for unique applications.

Terminals: The screw terminals will accept bare wire up to 8-gauge.

Wiring: Eleven inch speaker wires are attached to the terminals inside the enclosures (bare wire on the speaker end).

Cutout Diameter: 5.625"

Do these have an opening to put the led wire through?

Not sure as there are only two wire connections. I did not realize there is a third for LED. Another reason I would expend money for LED speakers

stephen Jan 17, 2021

They do not, but you can drill a small hole and push the wire through. Fill the hole with silicone and you are good to go.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
