KXM Marine 800W 8 Channel Class D Full-Range Amplifier (48KXMA8008)
The KXMA 800W 8-channel amplifier is a flexible marine power solution, delivering up to 100W into eight full-range channels or 200W into four bridged channel pairs.
Kicker's Real Marine standard means this amplifier is purpose-built for use on the water. Every KXMA and KMA Series amp includes anti-corrosive speaker, power and RCA terminals, stainless-steel screws, conformal-coated circuit boards and ABYC/NMMA-compliant power connections. All units are tested to meet or exceed marine industry standards for UV, humidity and saltwater exposure.
Gain, crossover and bass-boost controls sit behind a gasket-sealed panel for water resistance. KickEQ™ provides up to 6dB of bass boost with a single knob. The variable 24dB crossover lets you tune your system quickly, and a full-range RCA output lets you add a second amplifier without running new signal cable to your KICKER KMC Media Center.

About the Kicker 48KXMA8008
From our tech experts at CEN
A marine-rated amplifier, 8 channel, rated at 800w 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.
