KM Marine 150W 2 Channel Class A/B Full-Range Amplifier (48KMA1502)
A marine-grade 2-channel amplifier built to handle harsh on-water conditions without sacrificing sound quality.
Running Class A/B power, the 48KMA1502 delivers clean, reliable output across two channels with bridging capability for added flexibility. The built-in KickEQ™ variable bass boost adds up to 6dB of extra low-end, while the variable 12dB crossover lets you tune the system to suit your setup.
Every component is chosen with marine use in mind. The conformal-coated circuit board resists moisture and corrosion. ABYC/NMMA-compliant power connections meet marine safety standards, and 316L stainless-steel hardware is included to prevent rust in wet environments.

About the Kicker 48KMA1502
From our tech experts at CEN
A marine-rated amplifier, 2 channel, rated at 150w RMS, coated to cope with damp and salt air where a car amplifier would corrode.
Who it suits
Boats, ribs and open builds, and anywhere an amplifier is mounted somewhere it will get damp. Campers with outdoor speakers are an increasingly common use.
Our tech experts advise
Mount it somewhere ventilated and as dry as the boat allows, and fuse the feed at the battery. Marine wiring wants tinned cable and sealed joints. get in touch to talk through the install. See car audio installation.
