Overview
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
PROLONGED CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER, OR
SUBWOOFER IN A DISTORTED, CLIPPED OR OVER-POWERED MANNER
CAN CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM TO OVERHEAT, POSSIBLY CATCHING
FIRE AND RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPONENTS
AND/OR VEHICLE. AMPLIFIERS REQUIRE UP TO 4 INCHES (10CM) OPEN
VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1
INCH (2.5CM) CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER AND
ANY SURFACE. KICKER PRODUCTS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOUND
LEVELS THAT CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR HEARING! TURNING UP A
SYSTEM TO A LEVEL THAT HAS AUDIBLE DISTORTION IS MORE DAMAGING
TO YOUR EARS THAN LISTENING TO AN UNDISTORTED SYSTEM AT THE
SAME VOLUME LEVEL. THE THRESHOLD OF PAIN IS ALWAYS AN INDICATOR
THAT THE SOUND LEVEL IS TOO LOUD AND MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE
YOUR HEARING. PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE WHEN CONTROLLING
VOLUME.
The PowerCans are the next generation in mobile
audio systems, combining the innovations of new
transfer protocols with KICKER’s finest speaker and
amp performance. This audio system has everything
you need ready to roll right out of the box. Bluetooth
5.0 and AUX Input, integrated amplifier, RGB lighting,
line output, and a wired remote control built to mount
in a standard marine panel. And at its heart, the high-
powered amp and 6.5” speakers pack a punch with
KICKER signature quality audio.
Use the following instructions to install and operate
your PowerCan and PowerCan Remote.

Installation
Power & Auxiliary Wiring
Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to avoid an electrical
short. Run the black ground wire to a paint-and-
corrosion-free, solid, metal area of the vehicle’s
chassis or the negative battery terminal. Crimp the
provided 5/16” ring terminal to the ground wire. The
ring terminals have been left off so that power and
ground wires may be run through vehicle tubing. Do
not install the ring terminals until all wires have been
run to their final location.
Run the yellow +12V constant wire to the battery
location. Crimp the provided 15A ATC fuse to
the yellow wire, which includes a heat-shrink butt
connector. Once mechanically crimped, apply
heat to the connector to create a secure, insulated
connection. Then securely connect the fuse’s 5/16”
ring terminal to the positive battery terminal. Note that
while the ring terminals can be cut off if necessary,
the fuse should always be kept within 18 inches of
the battery.

Mounting
The PowerCans mount out-of-the-box to round bars
with the included 1.5”, 1.75”, and 2” diameter Bar
Clamps. Use the KPB Square Clamps (47KPBSQ),
sold separately, to mount your PowerCans to square
bars. Choose a structurally sound location to mount
the PowerCans. The Mounting Base may be rotated
±30° to accommodate some curved bars. Make sure
there are no items interfering with the route of the
wiring. Installation tools are not provided. 5mm and
6mm Allen Wrenches are required. Using mounting
hardware, including clamps and screws, not
provided by KICKER will result in a voided
warranty.

power terminal (should read +12V to +16V) Check for reversed power
and ground connections Check Ground terminal for proper conductivity.
Check fuses. Check that red & yellow ignition wire both have +12V.
Power on, no signal? Check the following: AUX In/Out connections
and cables Test audio source signal, either with a “known good” output
device or other means. Audio source volume & PowerCan output volume
are increased.
Bluetooth device will not connect? On your mobile device: Turn
Bluetooth off, then on again. Remove ‘BT CANS KICKER’ from the

Warranty
When purchased from an Authorized KICKER Dealer, KICKER
warrants this product to be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use for a period of TWO (2) YEARS from
date of original purchase with receipt. If this product is identified as
“Refurbished” or “B Goods”, the warranty is limited to a period of
THREE (3) MONTHS from the date of original purchase. In all cases
you must have the original receipt. Should service be necessary
under this warranty for any reason due to manufacturing defect
or malfunction during the warranty period, KICKER will repair or
replace (at its discretion) the defective merchandise with equivalent
merchandise. Warranty replacements may have cosmetic scratches
and blemishes. Discontinued products may be replaced with more
current equivalent products. This warranty is valid only for the original
purchaser and is not extended to owners of the product subsequent
to the original purchaser. Any applicable implied warranties are limited
in duration to a period of the express warranty as provided herein
beginning with the date of the original purchase at retail, and no
warranties, whether express or implied, shall apply to this product
thereafter. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties;
therefore, these exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights; however you may have other rights that vary
from state to state.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU NEED WARRANTY OR SERVICE:
Defective merchandise should be returned to your local Authorized
Stillwater Designs (KICKER) Dealer for warranty service. Assistance
in locating an Authorized Dealer can be found at www.KICKER.com
or by contacting Stillwater Designs directly. You can confirm that
a dealer is authorized by asking to see a current authorized dealer
window decal.
If it becomes necessary for you to return defective merchandise
directly to Stillwater Designs (KICKER), call the KICKER Customer

package. Please return only defective components. The return
of functioning items increases your return freight charges. Non-
defective items will be returned freight-collect to you. For example,
if a subwoofer is defective, only return the defective subwoofer, not
the entire enclosure. Include a copy of the original receipt with the
purchase date clearly visible, and a “proof-of-purchase” statement
listing the Customer’s name, Dealer’s name and invoice number, and
product purchased. Warranty expiration on items without proof-of-
purchase will be determined from the type of sale and manufacturing
date code. Freight must be prepaid; items sent freight-collect, or
Cash-On-Demand, will be refused.

all electronics (amplifiers, crossovers, equalizers, etc.) returns.
Delays may be incurred if lack of replacement inventory or parts is
encountered. Failure to follow these steps may void your warranty.
Any questions can be directed to the KICKER Customer Service
Department at [phone]. Contact your International KICKER
dealer or distributor concerning specific procedures for your country’s
warranty policies.
