has it all
Kit has everything you need for a hassle free installation, I was thinking I wasn't going to need it, but was glad I had it after things got going.

Great Value!!!
If your looking for an amp install kit with all of the necessities that doesn't cost and arm and a leg this is it. The kit came with everything needed to get power to my amp the length was perfect for a extended cab pickup. The RCA's lack a little but I just used these single channel RCA's to run my sub amp and I bought some Streetwire 4 ch RCA's for the 4 ch amp and it's turned out great. I've always had good luck with Install Bay products!!! I would recommend to any one in search of a good Amp Install Kit!!!

2nd time with this install bay kit
its a great kit for the price. I bought it once for a buddys Suby and then for my father in laws econoline van. never had a problem with either. sonic can be slow at shipping. but if on a budget this kit kicks butt for the price....not much online can compare for a 4 gauge and price. never a problem with feed back or crappy rca. might have to get a few better connectors but hey its a given. anyways great kit. also great for a basic systems. I wouldn't run more then 100 amps of power max.

New amp kit
Not much to review, It works fine. The only issue is that the power cable doesn't fit into the fuse holder. The fuse glass and holder plastic actually cracked when trying to close it. I'm sure I'll have to replace them soon. Other then that, it's good enough to power my amp with no issues. Yes, I would recommend it to others, just be careful when connecting the fuse holder and power wire. Don't use force!

Decent Install Kit
This kit isn't too bad it does the job. The fuse holder seems a little bit cheap on the plastic material but it works. The power cable held up to my abuse when I ran it through my tight space trims in my vehicle and I had to really pull them hard to get through. The RCA cable is a bit thin but I used it for my subs anyways so no problems there.

Decent for the money
I originally bought and 8 gauge cuz that's what my amp called for, it was a joke so I returned it and got this 4. Easy return/ exchange. Sounds like it happens a lot...
I think these kits are measured on the outside including plastic diameter not the inside wire.
Anyways buy the next size down from what you need. Kit came with lots of little parts to make the install ez. Would buy again for a 200-400 watt amp

Good price. Nice sized wire, but not enough connectors for what it's supposed to do. Also not a very big fuse.

half decent for the price
The wire is not really 4 gauge its more like inbetween 6 and 4 gauge, but its good for hooking up an amp for up to about 1500 rms. Good little kit that comes with everything needed but a little heads up, it could have been a fluke with mine but the agu fuse that came with the fuse holder fell apart. literally the glass, fuse element, and end caps all seperated. Anyways its a good kit and would probably buy it again.

Does job for the money
This amp kit is decent, it does the job for the money paid. Only complaints would be that the speaker wire is very cheap and does not hold up very good. It rips easily. I have it powering an 800 watt mono block amp...For the money it does the job.

Nothing to complain, or rave about, basic kit that served its purpose. although the wire did not properly fit into the fuse holder(i upgraded to a kicker anl/afs 4/0 gauge).

You get what you pay for
I wouldn't try to pass more than 600 watss rms through this. The price is very cheap but the actual wire is 8ga. If you need the real power I would suggest saving extra and getting a real 4ga kit... it'll be worth it in the end.

Ok kit for the money.
I have had ok luck with the kit. The connectors for the big power wire and ground kind of suck to crimp and I've had a little bit of the copper strands come apart at the connections but I'm not sure if thats my fault or not. Im not an expert installer but i did take electrical in college so I'm not doing too much wrong.

Not bad
Overall it's a sick kit. The power/ground are 4awg, the rca's work great, fuse / fuse holder is great, the speaker wire was not sufficient for my application. Amp required min. 12 gauge and the speaker wire in this is a small 16 gauge.

A good cheap install kit.
Not sure what else to say. Wireing is all the actual guage, fuse/connectors are included. Wire is Aluminum coated with copper but your not going to find solid copper for this price. I dident use the RCA's but they look decent.
Very flexable and easy to run.

Gets the job done
All i can say is that this wire kit gets the job done i have it hooked up to 4800 watts of power and i have no problem with it. And it alo comes with speaker wires. No amp kit i ever bought came with speaker wires so it's a good deal.

i runing over 1000 watts througth this cable
Pros/Cons: All and all great wire and kit but this is not true 4 gauge but is very close. i have not had any problems with my system and my local audio shop only carrys this. this is great for the money. i have the 4 and 8 gauge kits. I recommend these but stay away from 2 and 0. Brands that are true are Kicker, Monster, and Street Wire. Stay away from Absolute. Tsunami i bought a 4 gauge ground wire and thats how i found out that its not true 4 gauge so i recommend these.

I bought this for an 1100 watt amp and it provides plenty of power for it, this wire is closer to a 4 gauge than others. Flexible wires but pretty small speaker wire, I'd recommend new speaker wire for subs. The fuse came apart when installing the fuse holder but those are cheap. I've recently bought this again for another amp and works perfect again.

Acceptable
This kit has just about everything you need, I would only make a couple minor changes.
The power/ground wire isn't true 4gauge, its closer to 6.
The kit comes with one black fork terminal, I needed to pick up another one for the positive hookup to my amp.
Other than that, there was a good amount of length for all the wiring and came with wireties that I didn't use due to how i hid the wires in the doorjam. Also came with grommets that I didn't use (I just pushed through a factory one).

the ak4 wiring kit
This is a great kit for systems under 2000 watts but any more you have a fire hazard and need to upgrade. The only con about this kit is that the fuse block is week and when I got my kit the fuse was busted so I bad to replace that fuse with a new one and I was missing a joining bolt so if you get this kit your best bet is to go get a different fuse block scosch has a fuse block that is far more durable.

Its good for the price i have to buy a second power wire
I have purchase this kit 2 times once for my subwoofer and amp setup and the second time for my speaker and amp setup. Only problems I have are that this kit is not sufficient enough for SUV owners there needs to be around 20 ft or more of amp wire.
Pro
- Amp wire and speaker wire very flexible
- Reliable kit
- Has 25ft of speaker wire even though i need like 60ft
- Zero issues with my system cutting in and out due to wire quality
Cons
- I ran out of speaker and amp wire cause I have a Cherokee XJ
- The Hitron amp wire i bought seemed to be a tad bit thicker in leading me to think this may be a little less than true 4gauge.

Great beginner's amp kit!
The wire size was adequate for my first amplifier install, and it works great. I do have a problem with the RCA cable that is included though, as it gives a high pitch sort of a buzz at all times; the one included with my BOSS amp kit (surprisingly) doesn't buzz at all. The speaker wire is OK, but pretty thin.
Overall I recommend this kit, but maybe get a new RCA if yours buzzes like mine.

Cheap. Misleading product.
I bought this because it was cheap so I was not expecting a lot. Just for a little 50x4 MB Quart amp. This is not a 4 gauge kit at all. Honestly it is a 7 gauge kit. The insulation is very thick making the small wire look much larger until you look at it in a cross view. It is awkward because if you use the terminals that come with the kit they are for a 4 gauge kit and really do not work with the small wire. And it is just slightly to large for 8 gauge terminals.

Great install kit for a first timer !!!
I used this kit to do my first install ever on my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It did great, I installed a Autotek 1000 street amp with 2 12" memphis subs. Kit had everything I needed to do the install and at a great price !!! The only thing I can recommend is to go to your local audio shop and get about a foot long piece of smaller power wire to downsize your ground wire or you will be fighting with it for a long while. (4 gauge is a little big to fit the little screw attachment on the amp)

Very Good Kit
This kit is a very good choice fo rsomeone that does not know too much about running wire though their vehicle. The cable itself is very soft and flexible which makes it easy to hide under carpets or behind kit panels. The only thing this kit lacks are the fork terminals you would use on certain amps. However this is not too big a deal where as most amplifier manufactures seem to be going to the allen scew down terminals so you wouldn't need the forks anyway.

Gets the job done but bad rca cables
I bought this because I didnt want to spend the money at the chain electronic stores that were selling these kits. The speaker wire felt sort of stiff but I didn't use it anyways. The power and ground were pretty thick and flexable. The rca cable went bad on me in about a month and a half so I'm going to buy some more expensive ones soon. Like mentioned before there is not enough connectors.

It works, sorta
Oh boy where to start, the RCAs are super cheap non twisted and I don't recommend them they have a tendency to induce noise into the system. The 4 gauge wire is more like a 5 gauge. The speaker wire is a joke as well. The only thing good about this is the fuse holder and the connectors. This is good for someone who is just starting out with a system, otherwise I recommend a kit of higher quality such as Kicker, Rockford Fosgate, or even Monster wire.

Not a professional in the car audio area but from what i do know these are great at least first time buyer wires. This kit comes with everything you need and the speaker wire is a bonus plus since its 25ft!. I used all 17ft of the power wire through out my ford ranger, very flexible too. Ground wire is a little to short but some say 3ft is about all you need to be safe. Good set of RCA cables too. Overall if your on a budget like i was then id go with this other than that if your looking for cheap stuff dont look for real real quality like this kit has without spending a little bit more than someones range of cheap 20$ wiring.

Don't believe these i----s. This is a great buy.
I bought this thing because it was cheap, so I was not expecting much, but this thing really did impress me. Everything I needed was included, and, most importantly, everything worked like it should've when I was done. I only had one problem with the install- the ring terminal they included was too small to fit on the 14 mm bolt I planned to use as a ground, so I had to drill it out, which took like 2 minutes.
Now, about the wiring (and this is the reason I'm writing this review): There are a number of reviews on here claiming that this isn't true 4 gauge. One dude even claimed it was 8 gauge. Whoever wrote those reviews has no idea what they're talking about. I seriously doubt that the guy who said it was 8 gauge has ever seen either 4 or 8 gauge wire in his entire life.
To make sure, I measured a piece with a pair of calipers and then compared it to the wiki page on AWG. Believe me, it's true 4 gauge. And in case you're wondering why I care so much, it's not because I'm affiliated with them in any way, it's because I liked their wiring so much, I actually ordered a 125 foot roll of it, and it upsets me when someone badmouths something I like for no reason.

great amp!
This is an impressive amp; loads of power. So far, I have had a subwoofer to match the power. First one was a 12" Infinity 1220W single 4 ohm, so the amp was at 475watts, the subwoofer was rated at 600-1200watts, it melted within a week. Then, a new 12" Kicker 07CVR122 dual 2 ohm wired at 1 ohm, the amp was at 1000 RMS; too much for that poor subwoofer. I recommend a high end subwoofer with over 1000 watts RMS, or two or more woofers for this amp. It can handle it with ease. Even though I was pushing it hard, it was cool to the touch and have never felt it heat up once. Best amp I've ever had for that price! I will be getting a 4 channel onyx amp to finish off my setup.

Compact and Powerful
This amp is a great buy. I'm running 2 10" MA Audio subs that peak at 1,000w and rms at 500w and it has a great punch to them. The power is very clean and the amp is so small attached to the back of my seat in the trunk. I would reccomend this amp to anyone. I had a 2,400w amp in my old car and it was way too much power. This amp is perfect for your everyday driving to working bumping some music.

Watch out! This amp is on fire!
Mb quart's speakers have gone down hill but their amps have stay strong as ever! This amp is pushing 1 RE Audio SEX10d4 (soon to be 3 sex10's). And powers it perfectly, makes it slamm hard! Never gets hot or goes into protect mode. Just an overall great amp and nice bang for your buck, with tons of adjustments to tune to your specific preferences. But the red light is cheesy and screws up the whole classy gloss black scheme. If you have reservations about this amp, forget them and buy it! You won't be disappointed!

best subs for sound quality if your #1 concern is SQ and you actually want to hear the mids and highs blend together seamlessly then this is the sub for you . if you want super high spl's and to blow the doors off your car then get a square kicker but I want my music to sound good in my car not to be heard 5 blocks away.

I have one of these in a custom ported enclosure tuned to 24hz for my GMC 2500 Crew Cab, and it hits deeper than any 10 I have heard! Even ported, it stays tight and accurate, and goes as loud as I need it to. I haven't metered it yet, but I am guessing that I can achieve well over 100db at nearly any audible frequency, which obviously isn't competition level, but is impressive for a single 10! I am running it off of a Hitron amp from here with a claimed 600 watt rms, and they seem well mated. I would highly recommend this sub for the price, or even triple the price.

I have one of these in a small sealed box 0.65 and running it with a Kicker zx 500.1 ran off an eclipse cd7200 mkII and it is the cleanest and best sound I have ever got out of any subs I have owned or heard that my friends have had not the loudest but if you truly enjoy a wide selection of different types of music you want it all to sound great. If all you listen to is rap and electronic then you may want to build a system that tailored to that type of music.I myself listen to everything from classical to rap to metal to electronic and this sub has great SQ for all.

Excellent Sub!! Outperforms higher priced subs!! Blows all the other subs away.
I have been an purchaser of high end car audio components for a long time. After almost thirty years of putting or having others put aftermarket stereos, amps, and higher quality speakers in my cars, I believe I have a feel for what is good and not good. I have always leaned towards the higher quality components. I can report that this Eclipse SW 6010 Sub passed all my tests. The basket is durable; the speaker is heavy, as expected but it feels solid as you lift it out of the box. The aluminum cone adds to the solid nature of the sub and offers more protection to the rigors of its life after installation. Connections were easy with the mounting lugs on the side.
The two subs are mounted in a PROBOX under the back seats of my 4-door truck; the box is down firing. I know they will be even more efficient if I spent time to build a better box, however with the time and money I invested in this install it all worked out perfect. I have it hooked up to a Alpine PDX-1000.1 mono-block. It plays loud although it is not the loudest (I am too old to break windows). It plays very clean and tight. There is no muddyness; each note hits extremely hard without distorting or hiss. It reproduces the exact note that the composer/artist intends. For that reason, I can play All types of Rock, R &B, Rap, Country or Classical music without changing my settings too much.
Consequently, I have turned down my sub output to less than 50% gain and it still shakes my Silverado 1500 Crew cab at one half volume. Turning it up beats in the back of my head and administers to me and my riders CPR.
Because of my history with MB Quart. MTX, Kicker, Orion, JL Audio and a few others, also ran's, I can say with confidence that these will not disappoint!! They work as well as the High end JL Audio 10" that I had in my last vehicle. Matching them to the proper size box or getting one built is key but once they are set in the proper hole --> they will perform beyond the expectation of a 800-1000W sub. Forget the Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer, JVC or the other commercial crap that is sold in Target . . . they can't strike a match . . . much less hold a candle to these subs.

Amazing
I have this sub and it pounds like crazy I'm using an mtx amp and pushing 700 watts rms into them and they pound very reliable and powerful deep and amazing I will use them as infinite baffle soon.

Decent product
To this point - I've only had the kit installed a short amount of time, the amp wiring kit is performing as expected. It included everything I needed and all parts appear to be of good quality. Of course, time will tell, but so far, so good.

Wow... it's just wow.
Wow, I used to use JL Audio W3, and I ended up purchasing 2 of these, and oh man... nice and clean... even in lower volume. Very very solid and clean base all over frequency and watts. Very impressive.. because I thought only high-end brands like JL Audio can generate nice & solid sounds, but I guess I was wrong.. these are very very well constructed subs all around. You'll be very x 10 happy with these.

Great value
The wire is decent, the fuse holder is average (you'll definitely want to zip tie the lid onto it), the RCA cable is average, and the installed terminals are average. I did have one issue with a set screw terminal shearing the 4 AWG wire. I simply tinned the end of the wire with a soldering iron and the problem was resolved. The price is below average, but the components are average or better, so it is still a great value. I would purchase this item again.

Install Bay 4 Gauge Amplifier Power Wiring Kit (AK4)
Not bad for a bargain amp kit. Does what it is suppose to do. Would Recommend.

Decent quality for the price
Does exactly what it was intended to do. If you have a low buck system it will do fine, but I don't think I would recommend it for anyone running a true 15-1600 watts. At 1500 watts the wires do get very warm after extended play time.

Absolutely nothing wrong with anything provided in this kit. Insulation is pliable and easy to run through the vehicle. Has lasted years with no signs of degradation.

Extremely Cheap 4ish Gauge Kit
The amp install kit came with all the materials stated on the website. The reason the kit is so inexpensive is that it isn't really 4 gauge. The wire its self is closer to 6-8 gauge and the jacket is actually 4 gauge. Being that the power wire is quite a bit smaller than true 4 gauge the fuse block barely works as the set screw isn't long enough to adequately pinch the wire without it falling through the hole. All together, if you are strapped for cash it's a good setup, but if you have the funds and quality is your concern, find a better product.

Not Bad For The Money
Bought this kit specifically to have some extra wires for my dual amp install and to run a big three upgrade in my Lancer. Worked perfect for that. Very flexible and easy to work with. Not a real 4awg wire, but it wasn't advertised as so and I already bought the install bay's dual amp kit so I wanted my wires to all sort of match. Perfect kit to upgrade my grounds a bit since I'm not running a high power system. Only con is the strand count seems a little low and the terminals provided with the kit seem cheaply made. Other than that, if you need a simple amp hookup, I would recommend this kit for the price!

Quality kit
I was happy with this kit, overall it worked fine. A few minor issues I noticed were. The true gauge of wire is 6, there is no speaker wire included so make sure you have enough to run from the amp to whatever your going to power and finally the gauge of the wire is just barely to small for the fuse holder the set screws run out of thread before the wire is held right. But all in all for the price it's good quality wire and the small issues can be resolved if your knowledgeable enough to find a couple things at your local parts house.

good sq not spl
Blew this sub with a 500 watt Kenwood amp, as you know Kenwood amps don't give a true rating as the box says, so this sub definitely is weak.
However the sub sounded pretty good for the time I had it, just don't push it hard and it won't blow.. I was EQing the sub so it was getting real low and hitting high, and it did a great job but my amp couldn't keep up.
Now I have a 800W Infinity Kappa one amp and the sub was already rattling from before and it finally gave up and started to burn the Voice coils

Eclpise SW6010
Love this sub 450 rms is good enough unless your looking for something a little bigger this sub is one of the best I own can't beat the price soon to be powered by a Hitron 1000.1 amp can't wait to test the full potential of the subwoofer but I think i'll break-in the sub a little more first don't know if its a myth but I rather be on the safe side overall love it if your looking for a subwoofer that sound and pound good with a great price you can't beat I would recommend the Eclpise SW6010!!!!!

Install Bay 4 Gauge Amplifier Power Wiring Kit (AK4)
Best deal on wire around, I would recommend this wire kit

Not 4 ga.
I bought this kit expecting the power wire to be a little smaller than actual 4 gauge. Which is ok because I didnt really need it. But I never imagined it would be as small as this. The actual wire is smaller than 8 gauge with a huge, thick insulation. If you're looking for a budget 4 gauge kit, go with the Belva kit. Its only an extra $5 but the wire is much thicker. I realize the Belva probably isn't standard gauge size either. But at least it is acceptable size for a budget kit. And certainly worth the $25. But this Install Bay kit is absolutely horrible

Great product for the price
Wasn't adding a huge system into my vehicle, but still wanted more then just a 8 gauge kit and this fit the bill. May not be true 4 gauge but seems plenty durable. Some say the fuse holder is flimsy and cheap but I have had no issues with it. Would definitely recommend to someone on a budget.

It's a decent amp kit for the price
I bought this kit because I was on a budget and didn't want to spend too much money. This kit is alright for the price you pay but I had trouble trying to connect the fuse, the screws it comes with the fuse wouldn't hold the power wire for some reason, so I ended up using a kicker fuse that my friend let me have, other than the fuse, every else was fine and this kit got the job done.

You get what U Pay 4
You get what you pay for, I knew I wasn't going to get a pro kit for @ $20 bucks but the description of the kit stated "4 Gauge " Power and Ground cables. I figured I would at least get a "6 Gauge " but according to the gauge chart it is an "8 Gauge ". And I know it isn't a 100% copper core it's is aluminum w/ copper coating but the kit will do is that I'm only running 500 watts on my amplifier, but if it would have been over that, the power cable will heat up and could cause damage. having said that kit is descent for small systems 500 watts or less but for higher systems I would recommend known brands with true gauge and solid copper core.

average amp
I have this powering a 12" alpine type r wired to 2 ohms so it should be getting ~750w rms from this amp. Decided to get this amp because i wanted to get more power to my sub so i switch from a 5 channel JL 500/5 to (2 amps) an MB Quart ONX4.80 and an MB Quart ONX1.1000D.
Don't get me wrong, this amp has power but what i find weird is that it doesn't sound that much more powerful than my JL Audio 500/5 amp that only puts 250wrms to the sub. Also, the JL definitely sounds cleaner and the mb quart is just slightly louder, like really slightly.
Also, i do like that the amp runs cool and has never shut off on me. That's always a plus. Overall decent.

Good budget amp
When I purchased this amp I was concerned about how well it would hold up in the heat as well as its general performance because it's so cheap. Also I've heard some negative attitudes about the parent company. So far it has exceeded my expectations. Its had no over heating issues and it seems to put out clean, rated power. I think we're at a point where technology has allowed companies to make a decent product at an affordable price. So far I have not heard anything regarding the longevity of these so I will keep my fingers crossed.

Great amp for the money
Very impressed with the accuracy and overall sound quality of this amp for the money. RMS power ratings seem to be accurate, runs for hours and stays cool, doesn't overrun my stock charging system. Very impressed for the money!

Not exactly pleased
Shipping was very fast, and the price was even better. I owned this amp for about a month working flawlessly before it started to give me problems. The amp started with cutting out intermittently. I would hit a bump and the subs would go off for a brief period of time. Over the next few days that delay increased until the amp would go on/off over every little bump I went over.
I had the amp mounted down to a board with soft rubber padding under each screw to help give some extra cushion but after a few weeks the amp just stopped working.
I gave Sonic a call and they told me to ship it in for Warranty Repair.

Great amp with lots of power
I have this amp running a single RE Audio SEX12D2 at 1ohm. I had my friend set it to 750 watts rms using his o-scope. Pushes the sub great. Just to see what the amp could do we use a 45hz tone and was able to get 1098 watts before it started to clip. This was at 14.4 volts using my friends power supply but it showed it will do rated. I definitely recommend this amp if you need 1000 watts on a budget.

Not too good to be true
This amp is the truth. I have the 1.1000D pushing 2 rockford fosgate p2's and the sound is awesome. I also have the 4 channel pushing factory speakers and it sounds great. Can't wait to hear how it will sound with my rockford fosgate 6.5 door speakers!! If you want great sound for an affordable price, this amp is the way to go.

Great Power
This amp puts out good power. I have it hooked up at 2ohms, pushing a single twelve and it certainly does its job.
I trust the MB Quart name.. especially after using this amp.

Excellent amp
The amp is an excellent it holds up very well with my 2 12" mb quart 800watt dual voice coil subs running at 2 ohms. I like the ability to control the amp bass from a plug in control box. I would purchase another one of these if i need because you cannot beat the price and you get excellent quality. VERY SATISFIED!!!

I've had this amp for 4 months now and WOW. This amp pushes my Alpine SWR-1223D effortlessly with no heat or protection issues. I have to keep the amp turned down a bit or the bass is just overwhelming in my zx3. I recommend this amp to anyone. Great bang for the buck.

Very Good Amp For The Price!
Bought this amp for the girlfriends car 5 months ago, for a used 1000 rms Fi Audio Q 12 i gave her. i knew the amp was not going to push the sub to its full potential, but to be honest i just wanted an amp that would just push the sub enough for it to sound good. When i hooked it up i must say it did surprise me. it pushes it pretty loud. Enough to where my girl has the bass knob below half way most of the time. For the price i dont think you can get a better (brand new) amp.

Good power for the money
I don’t believe this amp does it’s rated power at 1ohm. It only has an 80amp fuse. But I do believe it pushes close to 1k wattage. Around 8-900 maybe it can hit 1k dynamically. But if it was tested certified I bet it would only hit 800 watts. Anyway I have this amp hooked up to a 15 in skar sdr15 in kerf ported box. the sub is rated for 600 watts. I have my gain set about little under 3/4, (was the guy before who used to think gain was a volume knob and didn’t know you were matching voltage for head unit and always had it all the way up.) well after blowing an infinity kappa 10 and blowing 2 massive gtx 10’s I learned my lesson. I want to buy an smd clip detector or an audio scope so I can set my gains perfect. Anyway the amp is great for the price and the 15 I’m running now shakes my car. I can feel it hard in my chest. I’ve had this amp for several years now and it’s been flawless operation. It’s seen daily use and has been abused plenty and it’s still trucking hard! Mb quart still makes good amps!
