A proprietary high-frequency horn design gives the KMXL series sonic performance and provides incredibly smooth and easy listening, even at extremely high volumes. Dad deserves to control the tunes – even if it’s only on Father’s Day – and these new speakers help him make the most out of that opportunity.
The KMXL series builds upon the success of KICKER Marine Audio’s KMTC and KMFC horn-loaded tower speakers and brings much of this same technology to smaller 6.5-inch, 6×9, and 8-inch loudspeakers that start at $649.99 and can be installed in traditional coaxial speaker mounting locations.
The UV-treated grilles come in both charcoal and white and like all KICKER Marine Audio products, the KICKER KMXL series’ cones, baskets and grills, are UV and salt fog tested and certified to withstand the marine environment. The speakers incorporate RGB LED lighting and dad can get up to 20 colors and 19 lighting modes by adding ($49.99) the small and lightweight KMLC lighting remote. (www.kicker.com)
Building off of the success of Costa’s hybrid category – frames that blend performance features with everyday style – Mainsail (for dad) and Aleta (for mom) are built with the same high-quality materials and features you want from the beach to the big blue.
Inspired by the watery world Costa is synonymous with, Mainsail gets its name from the mainsail on a sailboat, and Aleta, from the Spanish word for “fin.” Staying true to their roots, Mainsail and Aleta maintain a relaxed look and feel, while their technical features are ready for anything the water throws at you.
Mainsail and Aleta (starting at $182) come with Costa’s polarized, color-enhancing 580 lens technology for next-level clarity. The scratch-resistant lens cuts haze and blur and enhances key colors for superior clarity and definition. (www.costasunglasses.com)
