Customer Reviews

Perfect for the BOSS Audio Compact Sub
I used this kit with a BOSS compact sub. It installed perfectly into a 2000 Jeep Cherokee. I would definitely buy this item again, even if I wasn't installing a BOSS sub. Its pretty flexible and provided me with plenty of wiring. I would recommend it without hesitation.

A little below average
The cabling is strictly average for the power and ground, nothing exciting. They are NOT 8 gauge however, they closer to 10. I have plenty examples of 8 gauge wires and this isn't it.

The rca cable that comes with the kit isn't bad. The remote turn on is a little thin with the copper for my taste. The speaker wire is AWFUL. It may have the jacket of a 16 gauge speaker wire, but it has the copper of a 20 gauge. It is WAY to thin on the copper. I had a spool of RCA 14 gauge I ended up using instead.

The MO for this kit is use thick jackets to make it LOOK like the right size, then use less copper. I guess the extra jacket helps with shielding if nothing else.

Does the job it is made to do.
If you don't want to shop around for the items to connect your amp or amp/sub combination then go ahead and drop the extra $20. I do have to agree with the other reviewers about the wire size though. The conductor portion of the main wire is somewhere between a #12 and a #10 AWG. However, the supplied fuse is 30 amps which is about right for the wire size. The trigger wire to turn on your amp is smaller than the specs for the amp calls for but since it only has to turn on a relay I doubt it will ever cause any problems. As far as the lengths of the cables are concerned unless your putting your equipment into a stretch limo you will have plenty.
