I was wondering if there was an AC to DC converter that would work. I'd like to connect this soundbar outside at my hottub and to 110v regular house outlet for power. also how many watts does it draw? will this adapter handle all your soundbars if there is an adapter i might buy the more expensive upgraded soundbar from you.
We currently do not offer an AC to DC converter, but you can find suitable options on Amazon or in the local store. Our soundbar requires 100W, 12V, with a current of 20A. An adapter meeting these specifications should handle all our soundbars effectively.
Can I still hear the music clearly at 60 mph?
It depends on the type of music you’re listening to. If the music has more high frequencies, it will be clearer. However, our soundbar delivers superior high-frequency performance compared to other models on the market. Sound effect will be better if your vehicle has installed windshield and the soundbar is installed at around 1m near where you are sitting.
How does Party Mode connect?
Please note that the party mode for the soundbar is only supported by the Midnight 40, 60, and 80 models. Other models do not support this connection.
The operation method is to press the PARTY MODE button on each device, wait for 3 to 5 seconds, and it will announce TWS mode when the connection is successful.
Can I use the Kemimoto APP to play my Apple Music playlists?
You can use the Kemimoto APP to play music stored locally on your phone. If you’re looking to play songs directly from your phone’s native music player, like Apple Music, you might need to subscribe to those services or pay for the necessary media rights.
Could I add a subwoofer to it and how this could be done?
Yes, you could. Our speakers of Midnight series and B0117-03015-BK have auxout output function, which can be connected to your device’s auxin interface via an audio cable.
Check the Interface:
Confirm the AUX OUT port on the audio system and the input port type on the subwoofer (typically RCA or 3.5mm jack).

Yes, it can only be opened manually.
B0117-03002-BK40B: Can I use a USB-C or similar charger for my speaker?
Please use the DC-IN port for charging. Using the USB port for charging will damage the speaker.
B0117-03002-BK40: I recently had to change out my batteries to lithium in my golf cart but had not yet installed the speaker. Is there an easy conversation to be able to hook up to the lithium batteries or plug into the USB port? The lithium battery is a 51V 105 AH 5.3kwh
If it is still a DC 12-18V current≥6A lithium battery, you can connect the speaker’s power cable directly to the battery as before.
If the battery voltage is too high, our speaker can only operate within DC 12-18V. If you need to use it with a 51V lithium battery, you will need to connect an external voltage regulator to step the 51V down to 12-18V. It cannot be connected directly to the battery for operation if voltage is higher than 18V.
B0117-03002-BK40: Is there a 12-volt plug wire for the cigarette lighter?
No, it does not include cigarette lighter or 12-volt plug wire for the cigarette lighter. You need to purchase cable that has SAE connector and cigarette lighter like the one in the below photo.

B0117-03002-BK40B: How could I charge the battery of the soundbar? Could I charge it using my home electricity?
There are two methods to charge the B0117-03002-BK40B soundbar battery.
Method 1: Connect the + and – terminals of the cable directly to the vehicle’s 12V DC battery to charge the soundbar battery.
Method 2: If you want to charge the soundbar battery using household electricity, you will need to purchase a 12V power adapter with a cable that can be connected to a 120V outlet, as well as an alligator clip cable that matches the adapter’s connector. The wiring diagram is shown in the figure. (If you do not mind damaging the adapter cable, you could just cut off the connector end of the 12V power adapter cable and connect the + and – wires directly to the + and – terminals of the soundbar’s power cable.)
1) Connect the 12V power adapter in Part 1 to the port of adapter connector in Part 2.
2) Connect the + and – terminals of the alligator clip cable in Part 3 to the + and – terminals of the soundbar’s power cable in Part 4 (+ to +, – to -).
3) Connect the soundbar’s power cable connector in Part 5 to the DC IN port on the soundbar.

How do you connect an amplifier? Speaker doesn't have rca output.
If your amplifier supports AUX input: You simply need to purchase a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable. This will allow you to directly connect our speaker to the amplifier.
If your amplifier does not support AUX input but has RCA inputs (red and white ports): You will need a 3.5mm to RCA audio cable. This cable will allow you to connect the AUX output from our speaker to the RCA input on your amplifier.
How to Connect:
Using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable: Plug one end of the cable into the AUX output port of our speaker, and the other end into the AUX input port of your amplifier.
Using a 3.5mm to RCA cable: Plug the 3.5mm end into the AUX output port of our speaker, and connect the red and white RCA plugs to the corresponding RCA input ports on your amplifier (red to red, white to white).
