Don't listen to bad reviews.

So reading some of the reviews I almost had to laugh. People claim it was awful after trying 8 gauge wire for 1000 watts. A simple google search shows that 8 gauge shouldn't be more than 600 watts or so. I agree it's not exactly 8 gauge. But you get what you paid for. I hooked this up to a Kenwood speaker and combo amp and a Polk Audio speaker. The maximum power ranged from 350 to 400 watts. Works perfect. Everything installed according to the instructions with no problems. The fuse didn't…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Clarity

WARNING BEWARE OF UNSAFE ITEM!

Attention! This item is NOT AWG. I bought an 8 gauge set and upon inspection found that it is actually closer to 12 gauge. This company distorts their sensors on the wiring. I'm an electrician and if I were to use this on an amp that requires an 8 gauge primary wire it would probably set my car on fire because the fuse they supply is too high for the actual wire gauge. They measure the diameter of the entire wire, INCLUDING the plastic jacket, as you DO NOT measure the wire, and are AWG…

Avoid this kit! - Amplifier installation

I wish I had read the reviews before buying this kit. I bought without studying because of the high rating on Amazon. It was my mistake and I hope you don't make the same one! This set is complete junk. As I said, this is not real 4ga cabling! In addition, the quality of the items in this set is inferior and should not be used with amplifiers over 800W. The cinch cables also leave a lot to be desired. Now the most important thing - the fuse holder is not good. Super low quality. They do include

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

CABLE NOT 4 CAMERA: Amplifier Installation

This cable is not 4 gauge cable. The wire I received can be seen in the center of the image above. The wire on the left is 4 gauge Rockford Fosgate wire and the right wire is 8 gauge Rockford Fosgate wire. The wire that Boss sells is more like 6 gauge wire housed in a 4 gauge case. Admittedly a smart move by Boss, this is a scam and Revain should be ashamed to be the registered seller of such a poor attempt to mislead its consumers. Wire gauge is objective and not subject to interpretation…

Pros
  • Grand Prize
Cons
  • weak

ALL CUSTOMERS FIRE DAMAGE ALERT UPDATE

Very cheap quality wires. RCA broke up after a few plugs and plugs from the amp for testing. All cable connections are very bad. This is by far the worst amp kit I've ever bought (and I've installed hundreds of systems). UPDATE * May 2017 - So while driving I smelled burnt. Then I noticed that my amp was failing (the louder and heavier the bass, the more it went into protection mode). I thought the amp was just old (5 years+) so I bought a new one. Then the next day, while driving, the lights…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Discontinued

Buyer beware BOSS

ONE PIECE of junk! I bought this BOSS audio kit to install with a new stereo system. After spending several hours installing all new speakers, stereo, amp, subwoofer and wiring, it worked for a few minutes and then shorted out. I thought the radio was defective and sent it back. The manufacturer found one end of the BOSS RCA connection cable in the stereo and said it caused damage and the warranty will not be honored. wanted the old stereo destroyed by photos before giving me my money back. He…

Pros
  • Automotive Electronics Accessory
Cons
  • Not as thick as other kits

Poor quality car electronics accessory

Pros: Cables were long enough for my double cab with the battery on the left and the subwoofer on the right under the back seat, and enough cable if I wanted to move it to the back of the seat. Cons: Me dropped the fuse holder 2 feet and the bracket broke. There is a waterproof grommet where the cable enters the fuse holder, but it is too large for the size of the cable and leaves a gap for water to enter. There is a hex screw in the fuse holder to tighten the cable's bare wire, but when I did…

Pros
  • Car electronics
Cons
  • Not sure

BOSS is selling FRAUD SMALL copper-coated aluminum wire!

This was NOT copper and NOT 8 AWG but copper plated aluminum which is way too small. This must be disclosed and the maximum current must be stated for safety reasons! Amplifier AWG ratings are based on real copper sized to match diameter. See attached photos of genuine Rockford Fosgate 8 AWG pure copper wire (left) versus cheap BOSS copper clad aluminum wire (right). Both are marked 8 AWG, but note that the cross-sectional area of one of them is four or more times the cross-sectional area of…
