About the Kicker 45KM654L

Colorful lights and awesome sound
Colorful lights and awesome sound
Kicker's 45KM654L 6-1/2" marine speakers sound terrific, and with built-in LED lighting and aggressive styling, they're pretty stylish, too. You can adjust the multi-color LEDs to suit your boat or your mood, so they'll add a lot to your evening cruise. The speakers come with charcoal and white grilles, so they'll look great in any boat.
Choose the lighting look you want
You can access twenty color options as well as 19 dynamic modes using the optional KMLC remote. The KMLC gives you multi-function control of the LED lighting by managing color and dynamic mode functions, including adjustable brightness, fade, speed/strobe, and auto save.
Rugged and versatile
These speakers are tough enough for marine duty, but they're gentle on your ears. The durable poly woofers and balanced dome titanium 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, these Kickers will make your day on the water just a little bit better than it was already.
Made for boating
Designed for life on the water, these powerful 4-ohm 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.

Features
Marine-Ready: The Kicker KM series marine coaxial speakers are engineered to meet or exceed ASTM B117 Salt Fog (200 hour test) and ASTM G154 Accelerated UV (400 hour test) industry standards. The speakers feature sealed motors, cones, and locking wire terminal covers.
LEDs: There are multi colored LEDs behind the tweeter casing, to create a glow on the woofer cone. Depending on what combination of the three LED wires is connected, they can light red, green, blue, lime green, magenta, aquamarine, or blue-white. A wireless remote (item number 20641KMLC, sold separately) is also available to control the backlighting. A 12 volt power supply is needed to turn the LEDs on.
Size: The 45KM654Ls fit into standard 6-1/2 and 6-3/4 openings (standard car speaker sizes). The frame is bigger than a typical 6-1/2 and the screw hole pattern matches 6-3/4 speakers. Because of the significant mounting height, they won't fit in most car applications.
Grilles: Two pair of grilles are included, charcoal and white.
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.

These speakers sound great. I am surprised how much bass they produce. I still have 2 KM60 speakers paired with these in the front of my boat all powered from a Pyle 400 watt amp. My boat ROCKS!!!!
