This is a quality kit with true 8 AWG wire. Has a high strand count and very flexible. The only con i have with the kit is they give you a ring terminal and spade for the ground wire but only a single ring terminal for the power wire but no spade to connect to your amp. I don't understand that but it's not a big deal. I would buy this again.

This is an all round good kit for the value. It serves the purchase well. Clean sound and plenty of current for your amp. I have run this on several amps now and never had an issue.

Highly recommend to anyone for a system under 500 watts RMS

This is a great amp power kit! I've bought three of them for different cars that I have owned. The cables are excellent quality and easy to route.
