About the Kicker 46KMC2
From our tech experts at CEN
The Kicker 46KMC2 is a marine gauge-style digital media receiver that drops into a standard 3-inch (7.6cm) round gauge opening on a boat. It delivers 25W x 4 at 4 ohm (100W total) and carries an IP67 weatherproof rating. Sources include Bluetooth, AM/FM, USB and RCA input, with RCA preamp outputs; black and chrome bezels are both supplied.
Who it suits
Boat owners who want a compact, weatherproof source unit without cutting a new DIN recess will find the KMC2 a practical fit. Those needing more power or features can step up to the Kicker 46KMC5 from the same range.
Our tech experts advise
Before fitting, confirm you have at least 4.7 inches (11.84cm) of mounting depth behind the dash to allow for wiring. The RCA outputs pair naturally with the Kicker KEY200.4 smart amplifier if you want more volume on the water. The optional KRC12 Remote Commander is worth considering if the unit will be mounted away from the helm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need an amplifier to run these speakers?
A: Not always. Most speakers will run from a standard head unit, but a dedicated amplifier lets them perform at their best, particularly for component sets and higher power handling models. The RMS figure in the Specification tab is the guide to how much clean power they can use.
Q: What is the difference between coaxial and component speakers?
A: Coaxial speakers combine the tweeter and woofer in one unit for a simple like-for-like upgrade. Component sets separate the tweeter and woofer with a crossover for better imaging and detail, and suit installs where sound quality is the priority.
Q: Do these come as a pair?
A: Unless stated otherwise, car speakers are sold in pairs. Check the product title and What's Included tab, which lists exactly what is in the box.
Q: Can CEN fit these speakers for me?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises. Contact us to book an installation slot or ask for a fitting quote.
Q: Are the Kicker MSC65 speakers waterproof?
A: They are IP66 certified and meet or exceed ASTM standards for UV and salt/fog exposure, with corrosion-resistant waterproof connectors and 316L stainless mounting hardware.
Q: Do the MSC65 speakers have lights?
A: Yes. Integrated RGBW LED lighting is standard, letting you choose from a wide range of colours.
Q: Which grille colours come with the Kicker 51MSC65?
A: Both white and charcoal grilles are included in the box.
