Kicker is shipping its new KMA-Series marine amplifiers with higher power ratings and more versatility.
The five model line ranges in retail price from $179.95 to $449.95.
A six-channel KMA600.6 powers up to three independent zones simultaneously for delivering 600 watts to the deck, cabin and other zones.
The 800-watt KMA800.1 subwoofer amplifier is Kicker’s only true marine mono amplifier. It comes with a remote bass-level controller, and a fixed 25dB subsonic filter that filters out damaging ultra-low frequencies during playback.
Also in the new line are a pair of four-channel amps and a stereo amplifier.
All models include weather-ready speaker terminals, stainless-steel hardware, gasket-sealed input connectors, conformal-coated circuit boards and ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) / NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association)-compliant power connections.
They also include KickEQ™ 6dB of variable bass boost, as well as a 12dB crossover.
