KICKER Marine Audio Wins Best in Entertainment In Bonnier Best Marine Electronics and Technology Awards 2023

Stillwater, OK – KICKER Marine Audio is proud to announce that its new series of KMXL marine speakers took the 2023 Best in Entertainment award in Bonnier Corp’s third annual Best Marine Electronics and Technology competition. While five other marine companies like KVH, Simrad, Garmin, Lowrance and Furuno won the other seven awards for various types of navigation, radar, imaging and satellite equipment, KICKER Marine Audio brought premium performance, Real Marine™ durability and immersive sound to the awards competition.

The “Best Elex” awards selections are reviewed by a panel of eight judges from Bonnier Corp’s editorial team, including Boating, Yachting, Saltwater Sportsman and Cruising World and are evaluated based on innovative technology.

Designed for use in the most demanding marine audio installations where ultimate power and performance are required, while building upon KICKER’s Real Marine TM design ethics and standards, the new KMXL horn-loaded coaxial loudspeakers incorporate several unique features that set them apart from traditional marine speakers.

A proprietary high-frequency horn design gives the KMXL series superior sonic performance, providing incredibly smooth and easy listening, even at extremely high volumes. This proprietary horn geometry prevents acoustic resonances and standing waves, for fatigue-free, long-term enjoyment. Super-efficient, lightweight midrange cone assemblies and advanced built-in crossover networks round out the KMXL designs for unrivaled sound performance and ease of installation.

Like all KICKER Marine Audio speakers, the KMXL series comes with UV treated grilles in both charcoal and white while its cones, baskets and grills are UV and salt fog tested and certified to withstand the marine environment. Speaker hardware is forged from rustproof 316L stainless steel for years of enjoyable use. Neodymium magnets in the motor assembly provide tremendous power, while being extremely light weight. The KMXL speakers come in 3 sizes: KMXL65 (6.5”) KMXL8 (8”) and the KMXL69 (6×9”). While the smaller speakers have a Recommended Amplifier Power (RMS) of 15-150 watts, the 8” speakers have been tested to run all day from 15-250 watts. And like most of the KICKER Marine Audio speaker lines, they incorporate RGB LED lighting. $649.99-869.99 UMAP

“KICKER Marine Audio is proud to have received this award from such a prestigious group of publications who know and understand the intricacies of marine audio,” said Jeremy Bale, KICKER Brand Manager, “We thank Bonnier for recognizing our design, engineering and top-quality sound.”
