KM Marine 8" (200 mm) Horn-loaded Coaxial Speakers with White & Charcoal Grilles (48KMXL84)
The KMXL series builds on KICKER Marine Audio's KMTC and KMFC Horn-Loaded Tower Systems, which use HLCD (horn-loaded compression driver) tower-speaker design. The KMXL brings that same technology to a speaker shallow enough to fit traditional coaxial cut-outs, and robust enough for KM-Series Empty Enclosures.
A proprietary high-frequency horn design delivers smooth, detailed sound that remains easy to listen to even at very high volumes.
The speakers include integrated RGB LED lighting, expandable to 20 colours and 19 lighting modes with the addition of the KMLC LED remote (sold separately).

About the Kicker 48KMXL84
From our tech experts at CEN
Marine-grade 8 inch speakers handling 250w RMS, with UV-stable cones and corrosion-resistant hardware so they survive sun, salt and damp.

Our tech experts advise
Marine installs live or die on the wiring: corrosion protection at every joint and a properly fused feed. Mounting location does more for the sound than the speaker choice. get in touch and we will talk through the layout. See car audio installation.

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: What cut-out size does the Kicker 48KMXL84 need?
A: The 48KMXL84 needs a 16.8 cm mounting hole and 9.3 cm of mounting depth.
Q: Is the 48KMXL84 waterproof?
A: Yes. KMXL speakers are IP66 rated, which means they are protected from dust and from water jets and splashes. The woofer cones are UV-treated and waterproof.
Q: Does the 48KMXL84 have LED lighting?
A: Yes. KMXL speakers have integrated RGB LED lighting, which can be expanded to 20 colours and 19 lighting modes by adding the Kicker KMLC LED remote.
