Yes, the KickAss 12V Soundbar supports Bluetooth V5.2 and can connect to any Bluetooth-enabled device within a range of up to 20 metres. This means you can easily pair your smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth audio sources and enjoy wireless music streaming or hands-free calls from a comfortable distance without losing connection quality.

The soundbar requires connection to an external 12V/10A DC power supply via the included SAE to cigarette lighter socket cable. Simply connect the red SAE plug to the soundbar’s 12V power input, then plug the cigarette lighter end into a 12V power source, ensuring the power supply is off during connection. Once connected, turn on the power supply and the soundbar will be ready to use. This straightforward setup makes it ideal for vehicle or battery pack use on your adventures.

The soundbar is rated IP66 waterproof, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, but it should not be submerged underwater or used constantly in wet conditions. This robust waterproofing ensures reliable performance outdoors, even in dusty or rainy environments, making it a durable and dependable choice for camping, boating, or off-grid activities.

To pair, turn on the soundbar and press the Bluetooth button on the control panel to enter pairing mode; the indicator light will turn blue. Then, select “KAXSNDBAR” from your phone’s Bluetooth settings. When connected successfully, the soundbar will announce “Bluetooth Connected.” This easy pairing process ensures quick and hassle-free wireless connection every time.

Yes, the soundbar supports True Wireless Stereo (TWS) mode. To activate, turn on both soundbars in Bluetooth mode, then long press the Bluetooth button on one soundbar for 3 seconds until the purple LED appears. Once paired, both soundbars play simultaneously, delivering a wider, immersive stereo audio experience perfect for larger spaces or group settings.

The soundbar must only be connected to a 12V external power supply to avoid damage, and the included remote control contains a lithium button battery that should be kept out of reach of children. These safety measures protect both the user and the product, while the soundbar’s IP66 rating and secure mounting options ensure safe, reliable operation in rugged outdoor environments.

The soundbar includes front speaker and back strip LED lights with multiple colour modes such as bright white, red, green, blue, purple, and breathing effects. You can control the lights directly on the soundbar or via the remote control, including turning them on/off, changing colours, and syncing or unsyncing front and back lights. This adds a fun, customisable visual element to your audio setup for night-time use.
