Compact Marine Audio Kit

The Kenwood eXcelon KMR-XM500 kit delivers a complete sound system for open-water vessels. It combines a gauge-style digital media receiver, a four-channel Class D amplifier, two 6.5-inch coaxial speakers and a pair of matching tower speakers. Every component carries a waterproof rating suitable for direct exposure to spray and wash-downs. The package targets boat owners who want a single-box upgrade without mixing separate brands.

IP66 and IPX6 Environmental Limits

The receiver meets IP66 while the tower speakers meet IPX6, meaning both resist powerful water jets but are not rated for continuous submersion. Bluetooth streaming and the rear USB port provide 1.5 A charging, yet the USB connection is not waterproof when a cable is plugged in. The 2.7-inch LCD remains readable in sunlight, though the 3-inch gauge mount requires a compatible dash cut-out. SiriusXM reception needs an external antenna and active subscription, neither of which are included.

Replaces Fragmented Component Builds

This kit replaces the piecemeal approach of buying a head unit, amplifier, coaxial speakers and tower speakers separately, saving installation time and ensuring matched impedance and power handling. The amplifier supplies 50 W RMS per channel at 4 Ω, 75 W at 2 Ω and 150 W bridged, aligning with the 75 W RMS rating of the tower speakers and the 50 W x 4 output of the receiver. Buyers who need more zones, higher SPL or a larger display should look beyond this all-in-one solution.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the coaxial speakers or the tower speakers for my boat?

The kit includes both: two 6.5" coaxial speakers rated at 75W RMS and two 6.5" tower speakers also rated at 75W RMS, so you install all four for full coverage.

What does the 50W x 4 rating mean once the receiver is installed?

The KMR-XM500 delivers 50 watts RMS per channel into four ohms, matching the 50W x 4 RMS output of the included XM302-4 amplifier for consistent power.

How does the IP66 rating on the receiver limit real-world exposure?

IP66 means the receiver is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, suitable for open-cockpit marine use but not for submersion.
