KICKER Marine Audio has reached an agreement to supply audio systems as standard equipment in Caymas DV Series boats, according to Speed on the Water's November 3, 2026 report.
The first focus is freshwater
The report cites a KICKER announcement and comments from OEM Marine Sales Manager Will Cherry. He says the initial work covers Caymas freshwater boats from 18 to 22 feet, with equipment ranging from entry-level to premium depending on boat size and customer or dealer preference.
That makes the specific boat and audio package worth checking. Standard equipment across a series does not necessarily mean every model receives the same speakers, amplifier or controls.
More audio planning at the factory
OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer. In this case, it means supplying the boat builder for factory installation.
KICKER's official marine OEM program describes direct relationships with boat manufacturers, with an emphasis on collaboration and matching audio systems to individual boat lines. The Caymas agreement is another step in that builder-focused approach.
What boat buyers should ask
Before ordering, get the audio specification for the exact model and model year. Ask which components are standard, which upgrades are optional, and what controls are included. Those details are more useful than assuming that a brand name describes the entire system.
The November 3 report does not provide a complete component list or a model-by-model rollout timetable. Confirm those details with Caymas or the selling dealer when comparing boats.
