Customer Ratings & Reviews

BAK 82

Nice package, quality wire but could more end connectors for the larger wire.

Good product

It's exactly what you need for your car amp installation. I bought this kit with Kenwood KAC-1502S amp for 75 bucks. Good deal from Sonic Electronix.

Great kit for the cost

Very nice kit for $18.
Wire seems adequately thick. Good quality fuse (not AGU) and fuse holder. RCA's feel durable. Decent assortment of accessories. All together a solid budget kit IMO.

Don't know what the other guy is talking about.

This kit was awesome and included with my package that I bought. In comparison to others for the same price, there is simply not a comparison and the other review is just wrong on so many levels I felt compelled to write this.

The reality is there are a lot of real shoddy amp kits and wire as a whole being used in car audio in terms of cheap amp kits that have over-insulating wires and fake gauge ratings, huge amounts of aluminum, lousy RCA cables, fuse holders and other accessories. BUT and a BIG BUT, this kit excels in those areas where others fall flat on their face. I have bought a few inexpensive 8 gauge kits in my day and XScorpion, Raptor, Install Bay and others haven't even given me the 8 gauge of wire that I paid for, and in some cases gave me wire that heated up to a dangerous level due to the actual make up of the wire.

I also literally laughed when I see that the other reviewer was intending to use spade terminals to connect his amp power and ground wire... It is for the SPEAKER wire knucklehead :-). I am an installer and the smaller accessories work just fine when you use them correctly. Most amps will still work with them when used with the speaker wire. Of course one can be used for the remote wire connection to the amp and the other end with the butt connector being used to connect to the stereo. The funny thing is, if you do not need them, who cares? It is like ordering this kit for a compact car or single cab pickup. You will not use all of the power wire for these applications, so do you complain that the manufacturer gave you extra wire? That just made me laugh.

Now, onto the other accessories. The AFS fuse and holder that are included are so far superior to others in this price range and the amount of copper (albeit CCA) is much better than others in the price range. Lastly, the RCAs included are awesome for the price. I cannot find ANYTHING to complain about here for $21.99.

All in all, you will not get a better value for the money.

Good product for the price

Good wiring package, good quality fuse holder and wires, I would like more connectors on it and maybe some tube for the power wire, but overall is a good kit.

Good Purchase

I used this kit to install a 2 channel Boss amp. The quality of the pieces in this kit is five stars, but I'm giving it 4 because it is my belief that to do a clean install you need (4) 8 gauge terminals (one at the batt, one at the amp, one at ground, one at the amp), not just two. I had to spend an extra six bucks at Orchard for the extra terminals, but since the cost of the kit here at Sonic was only $20 at the time, it was still a good deal.

Good kit

Good kit for basic setups. Using it right now in my mothers system powering a simple 12. Could handle more if needed.

Pros: Handles power, Wires are HQ, More copper than rubber, Wires are good length, Fuse is HQ, Comes with lots of ties and rubbers.

Cons: None

I would recommend this kit to anyone who has a simple system. All around good kit.

Great wiring kit

works great on my MB Quart 2x100 watt amp.

Good Kit

Great kit for the price. the price is good. Long wires.

Belva BAK82

Worked very well for the money, great value for my system! Only thing that kept me from giving this 5 stars across the board is the design of the fuse holder and how you have to change/connect the fuse, minimal complaint.

great wiring package

Great wiring package for the price, everything you need is included. Sonic has the best prices that I could find anywhere.

Worth it

This one is good try the four gauge amp kit

Price is right

This wiring kit is very good quality. Although this was my first subwoofer install, I consider myself an expert when it come any kind of stereo hookup. This kit comes with everything you will need for a professional install. I installed a MTX self contained in the rear of my 1999 Explorer Sport. This kit made eazy.

Exactly what you need

Comes with everything you need, literally. Ring terminals are good quality, insulation is very good quality on the wires, fuse is good quality, currently connected 2x 600 watt Pioneer 6x9 speakers to a 450 watt amp (250RMS) with this wiring kit. Plenty of length to get from the battery to the back of my car. For 21$ this is a steal! Does its job, does it well. Highly recommend this, you won't beat this price for everything you get.

get's the job done

This amp wiring kit did the job. Fortunately there was just enough wire to make it from the trunk to the battery in our honda civic sedan. A larger vehicle may have been a problem. The kit came with almost everything I need to install a self powered subwoofer/ amp.

Belva BAK82

The quality is good and everything I needed was there. All of the fittings were good. More than I needed. I would recommend this product because it delivers as claimed.

Cheap - And it is

The wire is fine, the RCA cables are fine, but the terminals they give you are worthless, not enough of the 8GA size for both ends of the wire, and there are a bunch of small ones that werent even needed.

Excellent product for the price

I'm not running a sub or crazy rms wattage. This kit is more than adequate for my set up. 60 watt rms fronts and 80 watt rms rear speakers. The amp is 75watt rms X4. I would definitely buy this kit again for any similar set up. Plenty of length for all wires except the ground. If you are mounting the amp to the back of your rear seat and it folds down, make sure the ground is connected as close as possible the seat. Other wise the wire will prevent the seat from going all the way down. Wasn't paying attention to this. Bent the ground terminal on the amp when I folded the seat down and it hung up on the ground wire.

Cheap and does the trick.

I bought this for my gf trying to save money, it handles power fine and doesn't distort. Very happy.

good quality

Used it in my truck for a small amp came quick and easy to use would recommend it for anything from daily to comp use

easy as

Bought this kit with the Pioneer TS-SWX251 sub/enclosure and the Kenwood KAC-1502S amp it includes more than enough cabling to run the length of the car and looks to be good quality cables.

Good deal for the price

this wiring kit comes with all of the nessary components to put in a small amplifier. great value.

Belva install kit 900 Watts

look like quality wires nice and heavy!! more rubber coted than plastic may last longer??

amp kit

Nice amp kit for the money. I have used this kit on about 4 installs and will keep using it.

Came free with Kenwood amp, works fine.

This wiring kit was included for free with my Kenwood KAC-1502S amp that I use bridged to drive my Pioneer TS-SWX251 sub. It is a decent kit. The speaker/power wires are copper-coated aluminum which is just so-so. But it does include everything I needed to wire up my amp (fuse kit, zip ties, wire terminals, etc) and it works totally fine and I doubt I'll ever have a problem with it. So while theorhetically the wires could be higher quality, practically speaking I doubt I could ever tell.

did the job

Had all the wiring needed and a little more. wiring feels flimsy but it works !!

Great wires a pain to cut

The length of all the wires was perfect for my VW gti to set up an amp. However they are a pain to cute and strip. The rubber coating is very stretchy. But they work great. I do recommend these for the price. The connectors for the ground and power wire are crap. They do not like to stay though. Once you get it then they are good.

Good enough

Overall, this is a decent enough kit for an amp install. Fairly run-of-the-mill kit - my main gripe is that some of the prong connectors are incorrectly sized (amp connection for ground and power wire), but all other connectors are good. Zip-ties are garbage, but that's pretty much expected as well.

Wiring 101

Pretty basic kit, I would recommend it but based on my application I needed some larger capacity connectors than what were provided.

Boa qualidade

Muito boa qualidade, e muito barato vale a pena, a qualidade é incrível

It Works!

Everything worked as it should and this kit had lots of wire to get the job done!

Install Kit

Very impressed with this kit, had everything I needed for a clean install. Glad I purchased it.

Good Product

This kit seemed to me to be a good value kit. I felt that the connectors and one of the cables was of a cheaper grade than what I would prefer. But I feel that it was priced accordingly. The product met my needs, except for me using a better quality crimp-on connectors.

Great Value!

I ordered these items for my grandson, to go along with other items. He loves the system.

good deal

everything you need is in this kit and for me there was more then what i needed.

perfect kit

Made the install happen much faster. Everything was easy to work with . Very good quality. Real happy

Decent kit

This is a decent kit for a budget stereo system. Only one issue though, I was hooking this up in a Ford expedition and wires were too short to put the amp were I wanted it. Will pay more attention to wire length next time.

Nice and inexpensive

Good little amp kit for the money. Wires are flexible and it comes with everything you need to get an amp going.

By Kenneth on August 13, 2015 Verified purchase

Good starter kit.

This wiring kit is good enough for the basics if you don't want to spend more money or chase around assembling the wires you need for a basic system hookup.

Well Built, As Advertised

This kit was included with a MTX package that I ordered. It was as described and is a well made wiring kit. Installation was quite easy and delivers adequate power to my system with proper grounding.

My only complain, I drive a 1997 Buick Park Avenue, and the 17' of cable for the power line wasn't nearly long enough for my installation. As my amplifier is currently mounted in my trunk due to limited options for locating it elsewhere, I had to go to a local electronics store and purchase another length of 8ga wire, an in line fuse block to splice the connection, as well as an additional fuse to ensure the line is properly protected.

For those of you will small cars, or who chose to mount the amplifier somewhere in the cab of the vehicle, this will be more than adequate. For those with larger cars, or luxury vehicles who are mounting their amplifier on the box or in their trunk, be advised you will need more power cable.

By Jeromy on July 23, 2016 Verified purchase

Good Product

Good Product it could be better if it included ground , power , and turn on connectors for better connection to amp.

By Jency on January 17, 2016 Verified purchase

Great place to buy

Awesome system easy to set up and ridiculously cheap! I love it

Awesome Value

I bought this to hook up amp, everything I needed came with this kit
Worked great!!!

good power

great price small and compact, no problems so far. pushing 2 10s and 6.5 door speakers sounds great

Came with bundle rated too high for these cables

I bought a bundle that included these cables (1kw) along with an amp (1.5kw) and 2 subs (1.3kw). Didn't make sense to include these cables, since their recommended throughput is much lower than the other components, so I never used them. They look nice, though.

By Ken on April 19, 2018 Verified purchase

Good deal for the price!

Kit has what it says. Most of the wires are of good quality, but the remote wire could have been a tad thicker. It broke every time I tried to attach it to anything. I ended up using some leftover speaker wire to complete the job. Overall though, you can't beat the value.

autotek ata1200.2

Awesome product. No issues at all, have had it for a little over a month now. Very powerful and easy uhh install. Very underrated for power. Rising brand guys!

Great Price

This amp kit works as needed, it has everything needed for a basic amp install, I would recommend it for anyone needing a lower priced kit. Just make sure you get the correct gauge wire kit for your install.

2nd Kit I have Purchased, Still Can't Find a Better Deal

I had a 500 Watt amp and sub installed in my old car, and sold it with most of the wiring in it for the new owner.
I installed a new 500 watt amp in my new car with a new sub, and bought this same wiring kit as I still could not find a better deal anywhere else.
It's a simple kit, has everything you need, and makes installation of an amp/sub a breeze. Tonnes of wire length, I still have lots leftover thanks to a trunk-mounted battery. My previous car had a battery in the hood, and this kit still have plenty of length.
The RCA's are very nice, and all insulation is great quality especially for the power/ground. Ring terminals are easy to crimp, and were the perfect size for my battery terminals/main grounding junction.

By Vincent on March 6, 2016 Verified purchase

Everything you need

This is a basic kit that has everything you need and is pretty straight forward. No issues so far for the price who can complain

Outstanding kit

Loved it. Nice flexible kit. Good clean power! I would buy again soon.

By Sound dogg on November 8, 2020 Verified purchase

Awesome product

True 8 gauge wire and the flexible insulator is awesome when dealing with tight installs. Great product!

Great wiring kit

This kid has everything you need to wire the unit great value

Great price for product!!

It's tiny and portable but yet it packs the punch it says! I had seen how small it really was, and i was second guessing, but when i hooked it up, it blew me away honestly. it does get alittle hotter than wanting.

Nice kit..all u need

Was pleasantly surprised this quality of wire.The price was very good for the level of quality. Had everything you could imagine for install..love sonic electronics..

Great product for price!

Plenty of wire, all connectors were there. The flexible wire makes running it easy.

By Colt on March 16, 2020 Verified purchase

Good Quality

Very good quality items in this package. Thicker than average insulation on all wires. Well worth the price.

Belva BAK82

This kit is great! Everything you need to hook up an audio system.

By Anonymous on April 11, 2019 Verified purchase

Great product!!

I like the products i ordered because they are tough wires and high quality

Very Nice Kit

Sonic recommended this kit online to use when I bought a Kenwood Amp. At the time this kit was on sale at 50% off. Glad they did. It would have cost me much more to buy the wire and connectors and fuse separately. It came with plenty of everything to hook up my Amp.
Thanks Sonic!

By Troy on September 8, 2016 Verified purchase

Complete kit

This kit contains everything to connect your amp, good quality.

By Figment on July 18, 2022 Verified purchase

Amp kit

I have bought different amp kits from other brands and wasn't satisfied with there products because of certain things.1 was price and 2 was the power amp wire where the fuse goes. The plastic part where the amp goes was crap and fell apart over time. I like the sonics amp kit because of both awesome quality wire amp the red power amp wire was awesome quality as well. I would recommend this product to anyone who buys this!

By Gary on March 12, 2020 Verified purchase

Better than I expected.

I got this amp to push two ten inch shallow mount sub woofers I got for my truck. The smo is small enough to actually fit under the seat, all the knobs on the amp are clearly marked to help with adjustments to the gain, bass boost, low pass filter, etc. Overall, I would recommend this amplifier.

Walmart Quality

Walmart Quality.. It works for what it needs to do but quality seems about what you would get at walmart.

By Jonathan on April 5, 2022 Verified purchase

Great buy!

Really good sound quality. Definitely worth the money! This was the first sub woofer and amp I had ever bought and it worked great. I know have 2 kicker L7's so I stepped up a few levels but for the price this package is great! I had this exact package for 2 years and gave it to my brother just this morning. Never failed on me, very easy to install and works great in a sealed box!

Great value

This kit is much nicer than most in its price range. Even though the wire is CCA, it looks to be full 8 gauge. The fuse holder and RCAs look to be of decent quality, and the separate remote wire and extra speaker wire are nice.

Amp Kit

The amplifier kit is real good quality….
But didn’t need it in the bundle. Good price for both though!!

By Donnie on September 14, 2022 Verified purchase

Solid amp for the price

Fairly compact design (fits under the pass seat in my Ranger), and has plenty of power to drive my single Kenwood KFC-W3013PS (bridged). Crossover/level adjustments seem to be adequate to get the sound that I want.

Not too bad

I got this to go along with a pair of soundqubed hdc 8's and it doesn't give them near enough power but works ok in this situation i guess. Only puts out around 250-300 each channel.

Would by Belva Bak82 again

This 8GA kit came with exactly everything I needed for my Basslink powered subwoofer. In fact it even saved my car battery when the fuse holder blew. Would buy again.

By Anthony on November 3, 2023 Verified purchase

Great Subs

These Subs are the Best great sound and loud bass on my sealed box and for the price was a great deal to buy I do recommend for anyone to get this I got mine on sonic electronix

Loud... clear... and low low low

sealed box 1.25 cu ft... 1lb poly.... powered by jl audio 500/1....
i also have jl audio 12w3... used this to compare....
loudness are equal...
jl audio bass notes sound more pure perfect...
sound quality overall are pretty much equal...
but the kenwood sub drops down much lower than the jl audio...
overall a great buy for 65 bucks...

Autotek ATA1200.2

i bought this amp to temporary push 4 -12"s i waznt expecting much ,but to my surprise it is pushing the pretty good,i got them wired @ 2 ohm in stereo the subs are 4 ohm each and are rockville subs ,wich are cea rated so the are the watts it say they are,but here is the thing,my subabs came out of a powered sub box
ROCKVILLE RVB 12.1A POWERED SUBWOOFER

By BASSREBEL78 on June 12, 2015 Verified purchase

Bang hard

I recommend this amp, small but powerful, doesn't get extremely hot so this is a awesome amp. It hits my sub hard and i have the autotek sub 300rms pair 12" . Buy and u want be disappointed

very good!

Very good amp especially ifvyour just gettin into car audio like i was! I was skepticle when i purchesed it butvi have to say it really exceeded my expectations!

Great Value!!

These speakers are the best. The sound is more than what i expected. They sound better the alpines i had a few years ago. I can literally feel the bass in my chest lol. The shipping was fast and the product came new in its box. I would buy again from this site.

It's a cable. It works.

Cables all work and ties keep everything tidy. Plenty of extra length in a Mazda 3. My 5ch amp RMS power draw with volume all the way up should be under 360w (realistically under 250 when not trying to go deaf) so this should be more than sufficient.

Pros:
Cables all sufficiently long for my installation.
Everything included made the install quick and easy.
Only 8ga so the wires aren't super stiff allowing for easy routing.

Cons:
None so far.

Other:
Hopefully never need to test the fuse 60A rating.

By RICK on October 29, 2024 Verified purchase

Quality kit

Wiring is nice, not too much or too little insulation and the kit contained basically everything needed for the job aside from the hex key tool which would've been a nice little bonus tool to include in there. Would overall recommend

By Alexander on July 1, 2024 Verified purchase

awesome sound

these kenwood 12 s hit very hard and clear i have a 1000 watt kenwood amp on them they sound great

Very good deal

I bought this sub because I have a ported box at about the recommended specs and it pounds! Great deal for $40, although the only downside is that the cut out for it is a pain in the ass, it's not like a normal 12". I have about 400 watts rms going to it, sometimes I'm worried I push it too hard but it's been rattling everything in my car for about 3 months now and the bass is still clean. Easy to hook up to a lil4 ohm amp!

Great amp

I bought this product and was hoping it would be as good as the amp I lost . I now think it does a great job and has the power it says it does in love this amp it is well priced and I know you will be very happy too.

Great value

Did what it was supposed to do.

stuck with kenwood subs for years for many reasons.long lasting, quality sound,good prices. no point in tossing out big bucks for JLs or DC when you are not beating down the block 24/7.. with a quality amp these guys do the job just fine!

By Jo-D-Jo on December 25, 2016 Verified purchase

A great bargain

I was going to get a different amp install kit but this one was 50% off with my purchase so I decided to try it out. The kit comes supplied with everything needed to install most amplifiers.

Workhorse Subwoofer

I do a ton of research on a product before I make a purchase. I read all the reviews, look at the specs, compare prices. I chose this product based on perceived value. I owned the KFC-W3012 before this. That subwoofer was fine too. In comparison, it could get slightly louder and was just as crisp in its detail. When powered by an Alpine MRP-M500 in a sealed box, sounded amazing in my Lexus. I currently have this sub in sealed box, powered by a Kenwood KAC-9106D amplifier. This subwoofer does require ample power to get it going, considering its 82db sensitivity rating. With that said, I really can't nitpick. What can I reasonably complain about with this product? It moves air. It gets loud, but not too loud. (A fact that shows in the low sensitivity rating) The sound quality is fine. I don't know how it is compared to, let's say, a JL Audio, Alpine, Pioneer, or Kicker. This Kenwood Performance Series is just flat out a workhorse subwoofer. How can you knock it? It costs $50. It's well made, and you can tell by the build quality based on looks. I would highly recommend this product if you want easy and cheap bass. I would definitely consider upgrading my subwoofer and amplifier in the future, in the pursuit of better sound quality. But for now, I'm content with what I have. Just keep in mind there are better products out there, and the competition's higher prices will reflect that.

By Riley on January 29, 2020 Verified purchase

Great value

It's kenwood the sound is clear crisp and powerful in my trunk

Great

The sub hits great for a cheapie sub.
It hits good in my extended cab truck.

Great Value and great bass!

These subs are amazing! I upgraded from the Belva brand but kept the same box my Belva subs came in. They are wonderful and great for anyone looking for a lot of bass and thump in their chest while driving. Was satisfied with my kenwood head unit so I went with these, will keep going with Kenwood from now on.

Great Quality Sub, Bang for Your Buck

Installed this in my 2007 Saturn Ion. Wired to a 500 Watt amp and bumps very hard, has a great range of sound. I still only have my volume for my sub set to about 50% to 75% and never go any louder.
The low frequency range is very impressive, I have no complaints. The side mount supports are flexible and very tough, made installation very easy when putting into a single 12" box. Would definitely recommend this especially for the price. The 2000 watt peak allows this sub to fulfill a very wide range of applications.

By Vincent on March 6, 2016 Verified purchase

these are bad..

my friend bought this and let me use it.. i hooked one of these up to my dc 5k and the dude at the store told my friend it would handle the power no problem and guess what... i gotta buy my friend a new sub.... lol bad subs guess now i go back to my dc level 5

Bought 2, only used 1, works amazing!

I've been buying Kenwood products since I was 19. My first pair of Kenwood subs were the KFC-W3012 in a sealed box. Over a year I broke the spider on them, never was sure if it was manufacture defect or me being a dumb teenager and not running them correctly. After breaking the spider, bought the same model subs and still have them today and love them. Spider is still in contact, gasket was a little worn but silicone fixed that, but let me tell you they hit hard and are loud. I've had kicker comps, JL W3's and there is a big difference between all. Always went back to my Kenwood's though.

Kicker's - sounded muddy
JL's - clear, couldn't get the punch I wanted
Kenwood's - in between the 2

To get to the point with the Kenwood KFC-W3016PS subs, I must say for only using 1 it sounds pretty good so far. I'm not a big fan of ported boxes especially when it's moldy and smells like cat pee. My friend gave me one he had sitting in his barn. I wasn't ready to drop money on a nice box unless I was getting the sound I wanted. Well with this one Kenwood KFC-W3016PS in a ported box in my 1990 Accord Sedan it's pretty loud. I would have to say it's as loud as my other 2 Kenwoods when I had them in my Sedan. Although the clarity doesn't sound as good as my other 2 Kenwood's but that could be due to them being a seal box. Over all I bought 2 of these Kenwood KFC-W3016PS just in case I was looking for more punch. I ended up giving the other one to my sister for a Christmas Gift. I felt like just 1 was enough for my car. This Kenwood sub is just awesome!

Now don't go buying one of these subs based off my comment, research around, read more comments and figure out what "YOU" want. The sound all depends on your Vehicle, and hardware you are running. Like I said, my old Kenwood's sound a lot better but they are in my 1991 Accord Wagon, it's an open cab and they are in a seal box. I'm sure if I switched the new sub in my wagon the sound would be different and could be better. Put a lot of thought into what you are going to buy before you jump into buying your sub or even a setup.

kenwood 12 su

kenwood delivers a solid product at a great value. the w3016ps really thumps

Great Subs for the $$$$

Bought these and put them in a standard cab Chevy. Its a great sub for the price. Bangs decent.
