How To Use the Kicker Tailgate Speaker System
One of the best things about modern pickup trucks is the fact that they can be used for anything and everything. Whether you need to move some friends, tow a boat, or host a tailgating party with friends, the GMC Sierra can handle all of it. With the addition of the MultiPro Tailgate and the accompanying Tailgate System by Kicker, the Sierra has become the perfect all-in-one lifestyle tool.
A Mobile Sound System in Your Tailgate
The Kicker system in the MultiPro Tailgate is a 100-watt speaker system that allows users to connect their phone, tablet, or laptop via Bluetooth, a 3.5mm auxiliary jack, or USB. Using USB, you can play WMA and MP3 files on your laptop, an old iPod, or some other type of music-playing device. The system has two 4-inch coaxial drivers and a compact amp to help provide excellent sound output and quality. The Bluetooth function even works up to 100 feet in good conditions.
How To Use Your Kicker System
When lowering the MultiPro Tailgate and popping down the step, you will notice the speaker system, which automatically turns it on. When looking at the unit, you will see a control panel on the right side. Using the Power button at the top right of the control panel, you can cycle through Bluetooth, Aux, or USB. You will notice that each icon lights up in blue as you switch between them. To pair your Bluetooth device with the Kicker system, you can long-press the Play/Pause button on the bottom right of the control panel, and the Bluetooth symbol will then flash blue. From there, open your device, find KICKER in your Bluetooth menu, and connect to it. It’s as simple as that. Remember, while the system has its own volume controls, the master volume is controlled by the device connected. So, make sure to turn the volume on your phone, tablet, laptop, etc., up first before turning up the volume on the Kicker.
Something To Remember
Keep in mind that the Kicker sound system is powered by the truck’s 12v car battery, so running the system for a long time could drain your battery. However, in testing by MotorAuthority.com, the system ran for over 6 hours, and their truck had no problems starting right up. But if you have an older battery, it could start to wear down quicker the more you use the sound system.
Turning The System Off
To turn the system off all you have to do is close the tailgate, or you can long press the Power button to turn it off with the tailgate down.
