KICKER Marine Audio Showcases M-Class System In Intrepid Flagship

Headquartered in Stillwater, Okla., KICKER Marine Audio does most of its business through authorized dealers/professional installers rather boat-builders. That means most often—even in new boats—KICKER sound systems are aftermarket installations.

But for the formal introduction of its new M-Class line of components at the Miami International Boat Show this week, the company partnered with Intrepid Boats to showcase a new M-Class audio system in a new 51 Panacea, which is the flagship of the Dania, Fla., builder’s center-console line.

The 51 Panacea center console is an ideal showcase for the new KICKER Marine Audio system.

“The 51 Panacea is a beautiful boat, and we are so grateful to debut our premium product on it,” said Jeremy Bale, KICKER Marine Audio’s national brand manager, during a press conference showcasing the boat-and-audio-system combo. “Too often in the industry, ‘volume’ is used to define the quality of a product. We don’t think that should be the case—volume should be a minimum expectation.

The M-Class system installation included several amplifiers.

“From there, you need quality of volume, performance and durability.” he added.

According to Alex Rizo, the vice-president of sales for Intrepid, the team at the company is equally delighted with the partnership.

“I cannot tell you how happy I am with the way the KICKER system sounds and the quality of the product,” he said. “I am very, very happy we went forward with this because we plan to do many audio-system projects with KICKER.”
