🔌 InstallGear True Spec Soft Touch Power/Ground Wire - 8 Gauge, 25ft Black and 25ft Red Cable Review

I found that some of the cheaper installation 'kits' included wires advertised as 8 gauge wire but when you actually get them you find that to be the case something like 14 gauge wire with a lot of thicker insulation. This wire is 8 gauge thin copper wire with good insulation. It is easy to use, behaves very well and seems to meet the advertised specifications. I installed an aftermarket subwoofer/woofer combo in my new car in addition to the existing factory radio which is pretty good on its…

Purchased wire made a huge installation in a friends van. The van is always in the garage, never seen rain or snow. Halfway there was a trip to Texas. The generator and battery were blown up. They replaced both, the next day they blew up the generator and battery. When I ripped it apart I discovered that the wire (on the bottom side) had literally turned to powder. $1,500 in pipes. I've been in the car audio industry for 25 years. NEVER seen anything like this. Just a crappy wire. LESSON…

I installed the InstallGear cable in the car where it goes from the battery pack to the amp. After about 18 months the plastic insulation (casing, whatever) broke at various exposed spots in the engine compartment exposing the copper conductor. I have no idea why the case failed - I suspect the plastics just don't hold up well to the heat/time in the car's environment. The sheathing of the exposed cable in the trunk appears intact, and presumably the same goes for the patches hidden under the…

Good deal Just want to help a little with the cable size really needed. And I installed the 4th gauge first, and it seemed inconvenient to install and hide it. But the wires were always freezing, so I know they weren't stressed at all. I then researched further on the metric required for the number of watts used and found out by reading the work of two different engineers - real geeks who understand this and are not trying to boost sales or overprotect the product - that really 8 meter is very…
