Kicker HLCD Speaker - KM6500.2

Kicker leaked out this week that a new HLCD tower speaker will be released, and we have got one of the first pics to share. There is only limited information on them at this time, but I will share with you what I know.

STILLWATER, USA - The KICKER HCLD Tower Component Speaker System offers boaters and wakesports riders the ultimate musical experience as the world's first horn-loaded, compression-driver component system.

The KM6500.2 consists of two 6.5-inch, high-efficiency midrange speakers with lightweight, dual neo-magnet technology and cast-aluminum baskets with heat-sinking properties, delivering maximum sound quality. Included is a pair of 2-inch, horn-loaded compression drivers with titanium diaphragms and phase plugs coupled to 60-degree vertical by 90-degree horizontal dispersion horns to help push music out to the skier, wakeboarder or wakesurfer. Integral crossovers complete the package.

KICKER KM6500.2 component speakers are engineered with the highest design standards. They are built to fit standard 6.5-inch speaker cans, making it easy for practically any boater with an existing tower can to replace with little effort. What sets the KM6500.2 apart from the crowd is the horn, which also fits the same existing tower can with the same hole diameter and bolt pattern as the KM6500.2 midrange speaker.

UV treatments on the midranges' injection-molded cones, Santoprene^{^TM} surrounds, baskets, and grilles help them to last in freshwater or saltwater environments. These speakers endure most any weather conditions with UV-resistant treatments and splash- and spray-resisting, sealed midrange motors and cones.

Water-resistant, bolt-thru grilles offer added speaker protection, and all hardware is made from rustproof, 316L stainless-steel. All KICKER Marine Components meet or exceed industry standards for environmental humidity and corrosion* and for material degradation due to UV exposure.**

The midrange-driver pair is also available separately as the KM6500 Midrange System, providing another weapon for those seeking the superior musical quality and extreme performance of a six-driver system.
