What is the Kicker iK500 iPod Speaker System?
The easiest way for me to describe the Kicker iK500 is that it is a boom box for your iPod. If your iPod was Bill Bixby, the Kicker transforms it into the Incredible Hulk. It is incredibly simple to use, just plug the Kicker in, and place your iPod right onto the docking station in the front middle of the Kicker. The computer like slot accepts most iPods, and my iPod Nano plugged right in. One big knob above surrounded by a blue ring of light turns the machine on and adjusts the volume, bass and treble. You can select your songs via your iPod, or easier yet, use the credit card size remote control to navigate through your song list. The unit is easy enough to carry and it has a built in handle. In front are two medium sized speakers with 5″ woofer/midranges and small tweeters. On the back is a six inch square reflex subwoofer to assist with deep bass response. The PROS Sound I have to hand it to Kicker, this produces a nice clear sound from MP3s that has full sounding bass. For clarity
