Exactly as ordered - my new review

Exactly as specified in the parts list, The closest thing to a complaint would be that it only has one rca cable, that might be an issue for folks installing a 4 channel amp

Pros
  • 17ft Soft Touch CCA Speaker Wire
Cons
  • Could result in a decrease in overall sound quality

Cheap is cheap for my opinion

Honest opinion from someone that's installed many stereos. If you want a cheap kit that will work then get this. If you want something quality that will last many years avoid this. Wiring strands are extremely thin and very hard to crimp and secure tightly. Coating is loose fitting yet thick. Overall nothing impressed me, from the thin wiring, bulky as crap fuse (that has no seal) and cheap coating I doubt this will last long.

Pros
  • The ideal choice for DIY audio upgrades with professional results
Cons
  • May require additional grounding for proper installation

Can't beat it for the price!

Got it all installed no problem. Cable seems to be good quality. No issues with the fuse housing. Was able to put a 12" subwoofer with a 500 watt monoblock amp in my 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. Came with plenty of wire for the power and ground. I didn't use the RCA cables but they seem to be good quality. The speaker wire with the kit was great and there was plenty of it. For the price, it's a solid kit for single sub installs like mine. If you're looking to install two or more, get a 4 gauge or 0…

Pros
  • Compatible with most car models
Cons
  • Could cause damage to vehicle interior if not installed properly

Good cheap kit . best in my review

Very good cheap amp kit. But remember this kit is not 100% copper keep that in mind. I purchased and put in my 98 Accord with my DTI 1200 watt amp it works great.

Pros
  • Great value for the high-quality materials
Cons
  • Could be difficult to install in newer cars with complex electrical systems

Best kit for the money

True 4 gauge decent speaker wire. Only complaint is the rubber on the remote turn on cable is a bit too soft. Very nice fusing !

Pros
  • Works good
Cons
  • Could void vehicle warranty if not installed properly

Great buy for small set up

Didnt expect this kit to have everything it came with. Prob could have gone with higher quality brand but the system Im installing is less than 1k so this will definitely do the trick. Overall definitely worth what I paid for it

Pros
  • Precision engineering and construction for accurate sound output
Cons
  • May not provide adequate power to sound system

Check the fuse, but ok wiring kit

Cheaper CCA, with "rubbery" insulation, but worth the price. The 50A fuse showed up in two pieces, but with a replacement works perfectly. I suggest careful installation with extra grommets because the outer insulation coating is easy to cut.

Pros
  • For the money not bad
Cons
  • May not be as durable as advertised

Good value: my feedback

I didn't need all of the items in the kit but the price point was worth buying the whole kit. Just what I needed to complete the job.

Pros
  • I like the quailty and performance doesnt get to hot and really easy to run even in small spaces
Cons
  • May not improve bass quality as expected

Paid for Prime 2-day, didn’t get it.

Prime 2-Day delivery NOT! If this happens more often I’m discontinuing Prime! Got the kit tho, worth the money! The OFC kits are even better!

Pros
  • High-quality wiring for improved sound clarity
Cons
  • Could be too expensive for budget-conscious buyers

You get what you pay for.

I bought two of these kits five years ago for an amp and subwoofer install. How has the kit held up?Not good.The RCA plugs at the subwoofer end are falling apart--the center conductors had come loose, and I had to solder in replacements. This is for removing them maybe once or twice a year. I only hate to think how the other end, behind the dashboard, will degrade over time.Also, the fuse holder is one of the worst types available--I had mine corrode inside, despite being sealed off with the…

Pros
  • Reduces noise interference for a cleaner sound
Cons
  • May not improve sound quality in all types of vehicles

Unbiased pro cable tech

It's descent. Not true copper by they don't hide that either, it's copper coated aluminum. Descent parts: power cable, ground cable, RCA cables and crimp ends. Bad parts: the remote cable breaks very easy after it's stripped, the wire loom included is pretty much trash but adds a nice look under the hood and the zip ties are tiny, if using these zip ties double them up. I wire professionally 5 days a week and have a lot of experience. Get a nice crimper that gets you some good pressure while…

Pros
  • Runs my 2500 watt amp with no issues
Cons
  • May not be compatible with aftermarket sound systems

True 8 Gauge! Great quality!

First and foremost when measuring the wire it is a true 4 gauge wire unlike other brands that say they are 4 gauge but have more rubber than wire going for them. The texture of the wires feels of premium quality and they are as well as they are smooth unlike other waxy textures. This is a nice complete kit and great value!

Pros
  • Selected components to minimize energy waste
Cons
  • May not be suitable for all types of amplifiers

This is a pretty good kit

This is a pretty good kit. The only thing I didn't like is the remote wire is way to little. It wouldn't stay in the amp. I had to buy another wire to replace it. Other than that, this is a great kit. The distribution blocks and fuse are really easy to use.

Pros
  • Fuse holder could be better, gets the job done, would buy again
Cons
  • Not suitable for larger sound systems

Bang for your buck: my feedback

Bought this amp kit to run with a Power Acoustic 2500.1 amp and a Kicker 15 C comp subwoofer in a ported box. This kit has everything you need to run your audio. Only downside is the quality of the wire insulation, it is soft compared to more expensive kits. Hasn't been a problem with my set up

Pros
  • Resists wear and tear for long-lasting use
Cons
  • Could interfere with other vehicle equipment if not installed carefully

Buy with caution good for me

Everything went well with this kit except for one thing the remote wire is crappy need to use a better wiring for the remote it will break

Pros
  • Offers a professional-grade installation without a professional's help
Cons
  • May not provide enough power for high-end systems

Mostly does the job.

I liked everything about this product.except the remote turn-on wire. That was so flimsy that any attempt to strip it caused the entire thing to break, I just ended up using some wire that I had lying around. Otherwise, everything was great. The fuse box is sturdy, power and negative wire were easy to work with but the insulation was not overly thick(companies love to say 4 gauge wire then you find it is 3/4 insulation), all of the termination hardware is solid, and it came with plenty of…

Pros
  • Suitable for both amplifier and subwoofer installation
Cons
  • Could be difficult to route through firewall

Great value, pretty good quality overall

Nice 1/0 wire, lacking in quality a little, but for the money you cant beat it. I think typically if youre running 1/0 gauge youre going to need some 8 gauge speaker wire but not a huge deal, like i said good value. Good quality RCA’s, pretty decent fuse, albeit only comes with a small 150amp, so i had to buy a 250amp for the Hifonics Brutus 3000d, which again, like i said for the value everything here is alright just be prepared to order some things to fit your system.

Pros
  • Beautiful and professional-looking installation
Cons
  • May require additional mounting hardware for installation

Don’t let the price to you

This is a very great deal for the price the material does not feel cheap it does the job in fact it looks expensive everything needed to install your amplifier and a good quality love it

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • May not be the right size for certain sound systems

Well worth the money!

Purchased this kit to replace I slightly cheaper Boss kit I originally purchased. This kit was 3 times the thickness of the Boss kit 8 gauge kit. Everything in the kit was quality and top notch for the price point.

Pros
  • 17ft Soft Touch 2-Channel RCA Cable
Cons
  • Could require additional connector pieces for installation

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great kit. Wire gauge was correct, as stated.

Arrived on time and had just about every item that I needed to install my amplifier. Could have used a butt connector to connect the remote wire to my car deck but not a big deal. The wires and cables were all long enough to wire up to my Acura Integra.

Pros
  • No no problems with the great product
Cons
  • May not be sufficient for high-powered sound systems
