Kicker’s 45KMTC8 marine tower speakers combine exceptional sound quality with customizable LED lighting for an impressive audio and visual experience on the water. These 8″ wakeboard tower speakers are engineered to cut through wind, waves, and engine noise while providing dynamic, clear sound. The built-in multi-color LED lighting system can be adjusted to create the perfect ambiance for your boat and evening cruises.
These speakers feature a 359° swiveling clamp system that allows you to direct the sound exactly where you want it—aim them aft for waterskiing or wakeboarding, or rotate them inward when anchored. Available in classic White or a striking Charcoal/Black combination, these speakers will enhance the look of any vessel.
Designed specifically for marine environments, the 45KMTC8 speakers include sealed motors, rubber cone surrounds, and locking terminal covers to protect against water spray. UV treatments on the cones, surrounds, baskets, and grilles ensure these speakers will withstand harsh sunlight exposure. The durable stainless steel/ABS clamps fit tubing from 1-1/2″ to 3-1/4″, making them compatible with a wide range of boats.
