About the Kicker Amphitheater
That name is no accident. Kicker calls this powered speaker system the Amphitheater because it resembles the shape of one — and because it delivers big, spacious sound, too. Built-in Bluetooth means you can pair most smartphones and tablets, as well as Bluetooth-compatible Mac® and PC laptops. You'll enjoy big sound with your music, videos, and games.
Big sound — Kicker style
The Amphitheater houses two 5" woofers for clear mids and midbass, while , and two silk dome 3/4" tweeters ensure crystal-clear highs. The rear-mounted 6" square passive radiator in the back reinforces the lows, giving you big, beefy bass. Put it all together and you've got a system that can really deliver the audio goods.
KICKSTART app adds options
Download the free KICKSTART app to your Android™ or Apple portable to expand the capabilities of the Amphitheater. Through the app you can adjust the treble and bass or choose from eight EQ settings, four of which are customizable.
Digging the track you're playing at the moment? The app lets you share it through Facebook with your friends. KICKSTART also automatically connects your smartphone or tablet to the Amphitheater — no messing about with settings. And if you were interrupted in your last session, the Auto Play feature will start the song up when you reconnect, right at the point where it stopped.

Very Impressed With This Unit From Kicker. Fully Adjustable Eq, Amazing Highs And Very Responsive Bass. It Gets So Loud It Rattles My Floor And Almost No Distortion At That Sound Level. Way Better Then Beats And Bose.
