Review on NVX Copper Single Speaker XAPK8 by Amy Perry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality Amplifier Installation Kit

This is an oxygen free copper wire. Don't be fooled by the silver plating on the copper. I tried tinning the wires for installation as I didn't have tips and the wire didn't heat up with a soldering iron. I figured it wasn't strong enough for 8 gauge wire. So I pulled out my flashlight, which worked, but it actually melted some of the tin and you can see the bare copper strands underneath. The fuse box is high quality and well made. The cables were long enough to connect an amp behind the back seat of an F150 supercrew. It's quite a long run. The speaker cable was also of good quality. They give you all the connections you need to hook up a single amp. One weird issue I had was that the nice braided end of the cord had a ring connector, which was fine, but you can't use it on a fuse box. I had to cut it about a foot off the end, strip both ends of the wire to fit the fuse box, and then connect the ring terminal to the battery. I think it would be much better if they included a short braid with a ring connector and a long braided cable with a straight end with a ferrule. The braided section was long enough to go through the bulkhead and into the cockpit. Very pretty. I would buy this set again if needed. I don't think you will find a better set for the price. If you do this a lot and buy a lot of cables and connectors then you obviously don't need it, but for a one off DIY install this was perfect.
