About the Kicker iK100
Kicker knows how to pack a big punch into a compact audio system, and that's just what they did with the iKick100. Only about the size of a brick, this system pumps out some serious sound thanks to its innovative design.
Twin full-range speakers are positioned to create a spacious stereo sound field. A flared port built into the cabinet reinforces the low tones, ensuring your music sounds rich and full. And thanks to advanced amplifier circuitry, you can turn the volume all the way up and enjoy your music without distortion.
Want more? OK, how about a USB charging port in the back? Charge your PDA while your docked iPod cranks out the tunes. There's also an auxiliary input so you can even play songs from your PDA once it's charged.
From the review Kicker iK100 -- small system, surprisingly big sound
"The iK100... didn't take up much space on my desk, yet it performed better than I expected from a desktop speaker system that small. All in all I was very happy with the Kicker iK100. Regardless of what type of music I selected, it did a great job, and was a welcome addition to my work area."

The sound coming out of this device is very good. Emits out good bass tones but can be tiney when the volume goes up too high. Great of small areas or out on the patio when the weather is nice. I would recommend this product.
