Review on Maximize Your Car Audio with Skar Audio ๐Ÿ”Š 4 Gauge OFC Complete Amp Wiring Kit - SKAR4ANL-OFC by Johnathan Cash

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not cheap and not enough

I am so upset and disappointed in my amp kit that you think for the $100 you spend on it you get everything you need , and good quality. The terminal ends you get aren't even worth the time to crimp them as they won't hold up and fall off shortly after the wires are installed. The remote cable is so cheap and tiny that you'll snap the cable if you just pull it through the dash, and I'm talking about enough tension that it should never break like it does. It doesn't even say it's true 20 gauge wire, if not smaller, and the outside makes up the size of the wires and can be stripped with your fingers, that's how thin and cheap it is. You generally don't have enough ground or positive wires to install it in a vehicle. Metal fasteners are not strong enough to tighten the nut firmly as the ends have to snap off each time. Also good luck crimping the other ends of the positive and negative wires because they are not crimped at all. If you look at the wire it looks like that but they're coming loose from the wire and have been crimped or whatever because they don't come back at the end of the wire after trying to install them because they are pre-crimped just enough to render them useless but not good enough. They're permanently attached to the cable when you get them so you'll have to buy more connectors for all ends of the wire, and it's not cheap for good quality connectors, so expect to spend about another $50, or actually about $130, after you buy the connectors and the 1/0 gauge crimping tool you will need and generally install the wire. Note the poor quality of the supplied distribution fuse box. Once the wire is installed you will need to break it in half to get the wires tight enough that the wire doesn't come straight out. . The metal is attached to the plastic base of the cheap plastic fuse box and will bend as soon as you start tightening the alan screw which tightens to prevent the wire from falling out and even if you touch the base to something strong first fastened it will then be backed up like It will break, yours is now stuck without a built in fuse box and this is a must have no matter what other person with lots of cash comes out of their pocket to buy something you already paid $100 for , but now you already have the original 100 for the kit and 130 for the connectors and crimping tool, now about another 25 for the new fuse box, and then another about 20 for the new remote cable, so you'll have about $275 out of your pocket for that Amplifier kit that you're stuck with right now isn't worth the cost you're going to spend on it and you only have to pay about half that spend that amount and buy a good product. best quality from a well known audio brand like JL Audio or Rockford Fostgate Amplifier. kits
