Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Hydrive Kickback KB12 or Kickback KB15 Bass Combo
from Hartke! We know you don't like reading owners manuals, but you've just purchased
one of the finest bass combos around, and we want to tell you about it. So, before you plug
in and start playing, we'd like to suggest you take just a few moments to scan these pages.
The Kickback Series Combos feature a 500 watt, high-efficiency class-D amplifier. The
Kickback KB12 features a 12" Hydrive Series speaker with a neodymium magnet and
the Kickback KB15 has 15" Hydrive Series speaker with a neodymium magnet. Hartke
Hydrive transducers are a radical change, and improvement, in bass speaker technology.
The unique hybrid cone speaker is constructed using an outside paper cone, producing
deep and warm low frequencies, and an inside aluminum cone which produces mids that
cut, yet are still sweet. The specially designed cabinet which can be used either flat on
the floor or in its "Kickback" position for increased high-end clarity and directionality. The
amplifier design along with neodymium speaker magnets combines tremendous power in
a lightweight design.
In these pages, you'll find a description of the many features of your Kickback bass
amplifier combo, instructions for setting up and using the amp, plus full specifi-
cations. If you purchased the amplifier in the United States you will also find a war-
ranty card enclosed—please follow the instructions so that you can receive tech-
