51MSC8

Real Marine® Design: Part of Kicker's Real Marine design, the MSC8 (51MSC8) 2-way speakers are designed specifically for the marine environment and carry an IP66 waterproof rating. The marine speakers have gone through rigorous testing to ensure they meet or exceed marine industry standards, including ASTM B117, ASTM G154; ISO 12216:2002 D1.1-2.

Speaker Construction: The Kicker MSC8 coaxial speakers feature an 8" woofer cone made with polypropylene and carbon fiber, and a Santoprene rubber surround for splash and spray resistance. A bridge-mounted 1-1/8" dome tweeter is constructed of weather-resistant Teteron and features a neodymium magnet.

Free-Air Mounting: The MSC8 is designed to be mounted without the need for an enclosure or box space. The 2-way speakers can be mounted to a baffle or bulkhead in a free-air configuration.

Power: The 4-ohm MSC8 2-way speakers can handle 15-200 watts RMS (400 W peak).

RGBW Lighting: The MSC8 marine speakers are outfitted with a built-in 7 color LED lighting system on the back of the grille frame that will light up the woofer cone when activated. Both speakers include an 11" input harness with RGBW LED wiring. The harness is terminated in a watertight connector on one end and bare-ended wires on the other end. The Black wire gets connected to a +12 volt source while the Red, Green, Blue, and White wires are used to activate their corresponding color when a ground is applied. The optional Kicker KMLC Lighting Remote Control (sold separately) can provide a multitude of lighting modes.

Wiring: The Kicker MSC8 features two watertight connection ports for both the speaker and RGBW LED wiring. Two included 11" harnesses feature matching watertight connectors on one end, for plugging into the subwoofer, and bare-ended wires on the other end for attaching to your amplifier and LED lighting control.

Dual Speaker Grilles: The MSC8 speakers include two sets of spoke-style grilles, one pair charcoal and the other pair white.
