A LITTLE CRAZY – The owner of a new boat came to us looking for a “reasonable” system. His previous boat had a really high-end setup and, in his own words, he didn’t want to “go crazy” on this one. We listened to what he wanted and recommended a Kicker setup due to the price point he wanted. We went with a Sony DSXM80 marine radio with a Kicker controller for the rear of the boat. For speakers we used four 6.5-inch Kicker marine, two 8-inch Kicker marine, and two Kicker 10-inch marine subs. Power came from a Kicker 51KXMA15001 bass amp and a 48KSMA8008 8-channel amp for the highs. It sounded great, but the customer regretted not “going crazy” and decided to add more. He ended up bringing the boat back to add two more sets of 8-inch speakers, Kicker Pro audio horn tweeters, another four-channel amp, and a third sub. Now it sounds absolutely amazing, and looks great thanks to a great install by our talented team. Tell the Audio Express experts how crazy you want to go, and we’ll get you there.
