Wow
I just got 2 of these an I was thinking that they wouldn't be all that great but Ive owned kicker 12's and SPL 10's but these are the best. I've never had speakers over heat a 1000 watt amp but these did their a great sub for a cheap price but my advice is get a amp that can push them

WoW
I bought two of these bad boys and threw em in a ported box. WOW
I have seen some bad reviews for BOSS subs. I was very worried about how they would sound once i got them.
Don't be fooled!
These subs are amazing! No need to go spend 400 bucks on some alpine subs when you can get these from Sonic for $64.
I am using a P8002 Fosgate amp running 2ohm at just under 600rms, they hit so hard i am afraid to turn it up all they way with my doors shut for fear of shattering a window in my 96' Honda civic.
Thank you Sonic Electronix
I will be a return customer.

I have these 2 babies hooked up to a 3000w phantom boss amp and with these you have to get glass windows that can handle the bass and not shatter. These subs are what you want to get. They're cheep and powerful. Boss is a great product!!

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

I bought these speakers put them in a sealed box to specs. With a 1800 watt RMS mono amp wired to 1 ohm the amp was turned not even half way up and they both blew in 2 weeks tops. So if you have a great amp get a different speaker. I don't believe Boss is telling the truth about their rms. My not so great p2's hit harder and thats bull.

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.

Worried from reviews...
Well basically i was doing a system on a budget, who wouldn't try this sub? but with reading some reviews i was worried about it just going bad on me. To be honest, i bet the people that it didnt work properly for underpowered it. I purposely waited 6 months to write a review to make it an honest one. Ive been pounding this sub with a 3000 watt amp, just under max, so roughly 2500 watts max to this thing. it kept pounding away. It actually still is, im just waiting on getting my amp back because my amp went before this sub did. So power it like it says, because its been taking it for 6 months for me.

Give it a try
Boss products seem to me to be a gamble everytime you buy them. You could get an awesome, cool looking product or something that will find its way to the trash in 4-6 months. I gambled and lost the hand but im not very good at gambling. I dont think im gonna invest in boss products in the future but that doesnt mean you shouldnt. It's your gamble.

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.

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.

Not understanding
I had one of these subs wired up how a guy that runs in stereo competitions recommended me to to my amp that was rated half of one of these subs, and its been in for about a week and the coils are starting go. If these subs are rated at what they are or somewhere close I don't understand how this amp is pushing them hard enough to fry the voice coils. My amp is rated 1200 watts max and 500 watts X 1 RMS into 4 ohms.

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.

I've recently bought this again for another amp and works perfect again.

not too bad
I bought this sub because I was on a tight budget. I didn't expect much but I put this thing in a 1.3 cubic foot box ported tuned to 38 hz and it pounds. the sound quality is awful but hey its only 65 bucks. it is definitely not even close to the rms it says it can handle. I can smell the voice coils burning with about 450 RMS. Good sub for the price tho. in a trunk i think this would sound fine but not so much in an suv like i have the sound quality just isnt there. if your looking for some bass and dont have much money buy this thing but i dont recomend running over 500 rms to it.

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).

Terrible Sub
when i ordered this sub i figured that it would be great, once the installation was complete, they sounded great, they are for sure not gonna hold 1150 RMS. wayyy over rated. they got hot on me alot and i was only pushing 450 watts to each one. after about 2 weeks of playing them, they finally started smoking really bad and burnt them. the warranty replaced them but the next set did the exact same thing. looking at the price, i should of known that it wasnt worth it.

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.

Unreal - Had for 6 months
I wrote a review on the day I got the subwoofer installed so this is my follow up. I am still astonished by this sub every day that I use it. The bass is clear and unbelievably loud. There is zero rattle within the unit itself, and the trunk is dynamatted so that is quiet as well. I definitely recommend this sub to the average person who wants a head turning system. Obviously there are reviews about them blowing, overheating, etc. I've used my sub at a setting of - 4 on my head unit, and it is still unreal. Don't doubt Boss, it's worth it.

I think this is definately the best sub that Boss makes! I've had a couple other Boss subs which quickly blew up. This sub sounds nice but I don't think is near 1150 RMS. Around 500 RMS it sounds close to maxed out. I think it's worth the money though and it looks cool inside out.

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.

best buy i ever made
these speakers are the best, not only do they look sexy but they hit. for all of those idiot who said they smoked and blew soon afer hooking them up dont know what they are talking about. high quality speakers like these need time to break in before you go all out with them. they need a minimum of at least 3 weeks at half power or less or they will blow. if you give them time to break in, you'll have them rattling every house on the block for years to come. these are great speakers and i highly recommend them,

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.

Not quite 4ga but it's money well spent, works great with my amp and it came with everything i needed. Sonic Electronix has never given me trouble either, everything ships quickly and arrives undamaged.

Boom for buck
Slaps hard, no doubt, but after about 6 months one of the dual voice coils in one of the two that I own, 100% gave out. But it's under warranty :D

Great little sub...
This must be a hidden gem among folks who want a boom in their system. Why spend 400 dollars on a sub when you can have this sub at 65 bucks. NO one is going know the difference when your on the road with these hitting vs the so called "higher name brands" like most folks have said they know people who spend 4k on subwoofers alone and then you put the same subs such as these in another friends car and they hit just as loud if not louder NO ONE knows the difference. I need to buy more of these....

not bad
i got this kit for GMC Sierra, i have a kicker comp to it, going to a dual amp, i didn't want to much power, but this kit can handle about 700 watts, the RCA's are OK, and my truck does seem to be electrically stable, everything fit well, the terminals sucked though, it wasn't a true 4 gauge but for what i paid for it i was impressed... liked it, if you are on budget go for it!!

Good price for a decent kit.
Short and sweet: Great kit, has everything most people need.
Pros: All pieces seem to be high quality.
Cons: Had to go buy a couple terminals because the ones in the kit weren't big enough to fit the bolts / connectors I have in my vehicle.

Great for the price!
Medium grade kit, not true 4gauge in my eyes but it has worked fine for systems up to 1500 watts for me. I have used this exact kit in about 6 of my installs in the last couple months. Cheap but effective and good for the price!!

I bought 2 of these not sure how nice they really would be. I'll tell you I owned some Sony Xplods, and these subs hit a 1000 times harder than the Sony ones, there definitely worth the money, you cant go wrong, just buy them and see how much you like them!!

this wire kit is ok. is not a 4 gauge.
this is not a 4 gauge wire this is good for a 400 watts amp. this wire would run hot if you connect to a 800 watts or more.
good feature is the kit is complete and wire is flexible.

50/50
I had bought 2 12's dvc at 4 ohms. I had them running at 2000watts at 2 ohms. They ran strong after I broke them in good. Nothing but bass mekanik for those real bass heads!! They held there own for 2 years, then one of them blew. The remaining one is still going strong ! They are more than capable, they can hit well below 25 hz playing bass mekanik. Great value at the working mans price!!

Good wires for the price
The wires are actually pretty good. The only problem I have is the RCA wires. They are pretty cheap looking and I recommend you crimp the ends a little before u install them, they tend to unplug from the amp. All in all good wiring for the price.

Great Subs
I love boss products. I have never had any problems with it. These 2 subs is just way awesome you don't have too spend top dollar amounts to have a good system. If you know what you are doing and hook it up right you will never have a problem. Boss products are just by far the best and I will continue to buy them and always recommend them. I look forward to buying more in the future great subs a must buy...

I have 2 of these. They are both in the same box with a divider. Each has 1.2 cubic feet of space. And the port for each is tuned to 25hz. I have them paralleled so they are at 2 ohms. I am using the Boss phantom 4000 watt class d mono block. I had to have dynamat installed to control the vibrations lol. It will vibrate people's windows and walls as i drive by.

Recommend to anyone subs!
I had 2 MA 1000w subs with a 1000w 2/1 channel Sony amp and i didnt think it could get any louder. I decided i needed to get some new subs due to the MA's wear and tear. I spent over a week looking at these subs and looking up reviews for them because boss doesnt have the best reputation, there were more good reviews then bad. I finally decided to take a chance and get them. Just installed them and have a brand new JVC stereo with 6 jenson speakers inside. I can't tell you how amazed I am with these subs they kick harder then both my MA's! Would recommend to anyone. Fantastic subs beats the expensive ones. Why need to get subs that cost an arm and a leg when you can get these and they are just as good! Hopefully this helps!

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.

I have one sub with a Kenwood KAC-8105D + Amplifier Kit
1000W Max, Class D Monoblock Performance Series Power Amplifier w/ 4 Gauge Amp Kit and I love my system. I have a Hyundai Tiburon and since it is a small vehicle you can feel the base. I have my base on negative 6 and my side mirrors move everytime a beat drops. People hear me coming down the block with my music not even loud. Word of advice, give it time to break it in!!! I am still breaking mine in and I had it for a month in a half, that is why my base is still set at negative 6.

Needs Power!
This subwoofer is a GREAT SUB!!! I was very skeptical because of the mixed reviews but im glad i stuck it out. This sub slams at 2ohm. I have a 2.0 cubic foot ported box and a 780 watt max pioneer amp and the amp can't even stably push this sub at 2 ohm it just kept cuttin out at high levels. So now I have it wired to 4 ohm. Which is still good. but from the short time I heard (and Felt!!) Her pound on 2 ohm it was amazing...My next investment will be a 1000 or 2000 watt amp. I'd say this subs sweet spot would be about 1000 or so watts at 2ohm for sure. Thats what I'm going for. Buy this sub you won't be let down for price it just cant be beat. Get her 1000 watts at 2ohms, a ported box, and you'll be set.

Boss P126DVC
Installed the Phantom P126DVC in my car yesterday and it is amazing. The construction feels top notch and it sounds great. I have it paired with a Kenwood KAC9301D amp and have it wired at 2 ohms. 72% power and it blows away my old Audiobahn 10in subs. I can't wait to upgrade my amp to something that will really make it pound. I very highly recommend this subwoofer to anyone.

Skeptical at first but...
I was a little hesitant buying these subs at first due to the fact that I was unable to find any T/S parameters for the subs and because there were very few reviews online. A sub with this high of a power rating for $50 usually means poor build quality and lots of distortion, but not so with these bad boys! The T/S parameters are listed in the manual that comes with the subs for system optimization, btw.
I decided to take a chance and purchase 2 of these subs to use in transmission line enclosures in my home theater system. Each of the lines uses a Crown amp (600W), a single sub driver (P126DVC), has an effective length of 12' and is tuned to 16hz. The heavy hitting (I mean HEAVY) power of these subs combined with the clarity and tuning of the transmission lines is utterly terrifying. These subwoofers generate so much slam, its unearthly.
I haven't tried these subs in a standard sealed or ported box, or in any auto application for that matter, but I can certainly speak for their ability to hit hard and command authority, even at low listening levels. I've also pushed these subs with 1000W RMS to test there power ratings, and if you have a well constructed box (and ears that can handle it), the P126DVC will keep up without issues.
Long story short, if you're feeling timid because of the low price and lack of reviews, rest assured. These drivers will not let you down.

It works for what it is
If you need an amp kit to get you by till you can afford a better OFC kit, this works pretty good. Is it true 4 gauge, no, but not to far off. The only other thing is the remote wire is way to small. I had to use some other wire I had for that. Over all its an OK kit.

Nice for the price!
I ran 2 of these subs in 2 sealed hatchback boxes in my ext cab chevy (rear firing behind each seat) running both off a phantom 5000 amp at 1ohm and they sound great! I ran the amp 1/4 of the way up and they pounded for over 6 months until i sold the system to my friend. He fried both subs by turning the amp up too high. If you are running a high quality amp like rockford, JL, etc, i would say each sub will really only handle about 500 rms. If im ever looking for another cheap set up, i will be buying these subs again. Sonic Electronix rocks!. buy these subs here you wont regret it. I only shop for audio here. Shipping is super fast, and you just cant beat the prices!

i am not sure what went wrong. I hooked up this sub to a 1200.1 brutus amp. after 30 sec to 1min of the sub going, somthing started to burn. smoke came out of the port and i have never used the sub since. i got an alpine swx12 and swapped the two just to see if its as Boss as people make it out to be....it wasnt. lol. oh well.

Suprised
I have used 12in MA Audio xl's in my first car and my current car after the most recent MA audios finally blew. I was looking for something cheap until the new MA lineup comes out this summer. I'm using a Powerbass ASA1000D amplifier w/1000rms at 1ohm. Just wired them in yesterday and I'm suprised how hard they hit and it actually isn't just loud but it sounds good. These are perfect until I can get a hold of the new MA's. Oh and I've been using Sonicelectronix for 7 years and have never had a problem. They always have the cheapest prices and every product I've bought has been great.

What!? Let me turn down the subs!!!
Have two of these bad boys wired to 1 BOSS AR3000D... the amp can only power one sub at full strength. TRUST me one sub is enough don't buy two unless you are an ABSOLUTE bass head. just one sub and the amp mentioned above, bounced my rear view mirror off. I really want to buy another amp and run each sub separate to sees how much 2 can truly put out running full strength
2 months of constant pounding, no problems besides the amp turning off due to overheating, again not meant to run 2 subs though.
I WISH i could show you how much they physically move in between each bass drop.

Sounded good - for a little while
First of all, like you are, I read the reviews. I was skeptical for those that said they blew them, but wanted to believe those that said they were good. I also wanted to give Boss a chance. I've never bought cheap brands. I've always had Pioneer and Rockford Fosgate. I bought two of these. In two weeks, one is blown and the other is smoking on its last leg. I hooked them up to a Boss Phantom PH5000d. If you look the amp up, you'll probably think I overpowered them. Not the case. I had each speaker in series (gives 8 ohm) and the pair in parallel (gives 4 ohm). At 4 ohms, the amp puts out 1800 watts RMS total to the two speakers that should be able to handle 2300 watts RMS total - together (1150 each). Nonetheless, they are smoking and one is unresponsive.
For the three weeks that I had them, the sound was comparable to anything out there, and they hit hard! I custom built a single enclosure for each of these (1.8 cu ft ported and tuned to 38 Hz). I wish they would have lasted. If you want to blow money this month on nothing, buy two of these.

Just a quick couple of words about this product. First off, for the price you can't go wrong. These things will rattle the hell out of anything. But if your going for good sound quality and real deep bass, spend the money and get something worth while. Also get a ported box with these and an amp that RMS around 800 because these bad boys can't really handle over that

This sub surprised me so much! I have it powered by a Soundstorm EV1500M 1500W amp in a custom-built carbon fiber box. I originally put it in a cheap box that wasn't a good fit for the sub, but once I built my own box with a friend that was made specifically to the exact air volume and tuned properly to the sub, my life changed. For how inexpensive this sub is, it hits extremely hard! My friend even got one after I purchased mine, because he was so impressed! It hits the deep lows well, and sounds extremely good with bass rolls. Great sub!

Yea they sound great but in my opinion the rms is not true or they're not so durable. I will give them one more try cause they sounded great!! Maybe I should only turn my amp up a quarter way till they break in....lol

Great Kit!! Not to cheap Not to expensive
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.

Decent subs, definitely a gamble
Let me just say, the subs are way overrated. They will not hold 1150 RMS a piece. Pushing a pair of these at the max power will burn them out. I have 2 of these subs and they were great at first, sounded good, I was running a 1000W Class-D Interfire Amp on them and with the amp pushing 1000W to them, they could not hold the wattage, they sounded like they were gonna blow, but now running them around 600 RMS will be plenty of power. They distort really badly if u push them any harder than that. They are a gamble, what you pay for, is what you get.

This is a great sub to have if you play it right. When you first start playing the sub keep it easy for a few weeks until you burn the coils enough. After that you can play these babies all day long. They hit very hard and for the price they are unbeatable. I have 2 of these in my dodge truck and they make my roof flex and my toolbox rattle!!!

Good but over rated
I had 2 of these in a sealed box for about one month running on a Power Acoustik OVN1-4000D they were pretty loud but they were not getting the 1000rms each ther suppose.to handle. So I bought a Hifonics Brutus 2000d which actually produces true 2000w at 1 ohm off C******* and these subs blew in under 5 mins. They are extremely overrated and should only be given about 700rms each Max .

First Day Installed!
This is the first day that I've had my Boss sub installed in my car, and I must say, this thing POUNDS. I read mostly positive with some not so positive reviews about this subwoofer, but I will be a positive one, because this sub blew my mind... literally. I had 3 10" JL subs that cost a pretty penny, and this subwoofer beats them for shear loudness. I will write again if something goes wrong, but so far, so AWESOME.

Amazing Product
I was a little skeptical about the quality of this product due to the price, but I have one of these wired up to a 1800 watt max boss onyx amp, and it hits hard. This one is comparable to my friends 2 Kicker comps. I deff recommend this to anybody, A BIG BOOM FOR YOUR BUCK

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.

Lie about wattage
Oh my gosh! This sub sound so very well for about 10 minutes! Then the coils burnt out!!!
The sound that came out of it in a 1 square foot encloser was great.
I would recommend it IF your not going to push more then maybe 250 watts.

the enclosure makes this sub
What type of enclosure you put this sub in makes it. Loud deep sound: L ported, full low bass: semi-seald, full bass no a lot of mid bass: sealed. This sub does not produce any great souding, mid bass

Not true 4 gauge
First of I knew it would be a stretch for this to be true 4 gauge but I gave it a try what I got was 8 gauge with a thick rubber coating, but besides that it has everything a typical single amp kit has

Decent sub
I have this sub hooked to a Kenwood KAC-8105D w/ 500 watts @ 2 ohms. Played a bass intensive song for three minutes and could smell the voice coils getting hot. There is no way this sub is 1150RMS when I am not even putting half of that to it and it's getting hot! It does hit hard at 500 watts though, but I would guess this sub is closer to 400 watts RMS. But hey, you get what you pay for.

Good Cheap Sub
I got two of these in a ported box tuned to 42Hz, and they are amazing (a lot better than my expectations,) and I haven't even pushed them to their limit yet. For a budget build, you can't beat these.
(I've only had them hooked up for a few days, so hope they don't blow any time soon.)

Unbeatable for the price
This sub hits hard as hell!! I have to remember sometimes that I didn't pay much for it because it sounds so good. I have it in an absolute ported box with an ssl 2500w max amp powering it with everything cranked up on the amp, and it sounds amazing. The sub lacks the ability to hit really low notes, but it rocks everything else. I think the sub is really hard to beat for the price.

Poor Sub Woffer
Over rated 2300 watt, 1150 rms..... More like 800 watts, 400 rms, i bought 2 of these "new" and hook them up to a 1200 watt hifonics brutus and in 10 minuets of play both subs blew.... Worst subs to date.... I'll keep my kicker CVX.

Great for the price!
To be perfectly honest, this speaker surprised me. I heard this and that about Boss products not good and being junk. I saw the watts and price of this speaker and decided to try. This sub sounds great in my SUV. I would recommend this sub for someone with a hatchback or a car. I wouldn't put this speaker in close proximity because when it's turned up the cone makes a weird sound like the cone isn't thick enough. Kind of a ( boy nnggggg) noise. But a perfect sub for truck or hatchback for the price!

Ehhh...
Way overrated, these subs cant take but maybe a little over a quarter of their RMS.. Sound decent if your just looking to get by with some bass but nothing spectacular.. You get what you pay for.
But honestly, save a little more money & get a better woofer.. You'll really see a quality change, you get what you pay for..

Please don't buy this unless you don't like to play your bass that loud. I blew two of these in 2 days. They suck idk if i didn't wire them up right or you just can't play them that loud but either way they suck. They look bad ass and i will say that they did bump good but you know for 2 days thats not good enough.

Bang for the $
I bought this to replace the Boss 1500 watt sub (which in my opinion is junk! I fried it trying to tune it!!!!!!!! lol) So I bought this sub, Good deal at 65 bucks free ship. I recommend researching your box before you buy one. I bought a box that had an air space that was within the 'range' listed on the subwoofer and it sounded ok in my ext truck. I think this sub would probably be more suited in an SUV, I sold it to a friend whos ext was slightly bigger than myne and it sounded pretty good.

They are great but...
They lasted few month because they cannot handle my monoblock that has 3200 rms. It's all about you need to tune the sound properly they will last more. They really blast all f**king neighbors every time you turn the sound on piss them off all you want but they will last less if you keep abuse that bad. They are great for whose keep it down and go easy on it. Thats it. Great price for max sound but wont last you more than 3 month. If you want max the number, keep look.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Good amp
I would defintly recommend this amp. I have it hooked up to two 12" dual voice coil subs at 1 ohm and this amp supplys the watts. sounds great. pros are the remote gain control is very slick. very easy to set up and understand. it can run the full 1600 rms, i can feel my neck vibrating and every mirror in the car shakes like crazy. and this is in a car with a trunk not an open hatchback or suv. its rated that wattage at 14.4 volts so get a cap if u want all the watts u can :). Cons are one time when it was 90 degrees plus and humid it stopped due because it was to hot but it had been on for a good hour plus. but i didnt have any cooling fans like i do now and that never happend again. Overall great amp and for the price you cant go wrong.

Not recommended.
This amplifier is not as good as claimed by the manufacturer. I have it hooked up to a 15" RE Audio SEX-15D2 sub. It actually powers this sub decently because the sub is only (under-rated) 600W rms woofer. I do not believe the amp is 1600W rms at all. For example, it only has 50 amps worth of fuses, which indicates a true power rating of less than 500W rms.
After an hour drive this amp was almost scalding hot to the touch, and would periodically shut itself off. The gain was set very low during this time.
I am returning this amp and buying a more expensive one, because you get what you pay for with this one. The only reason to buy this amp is if you are okay with it performing a third as good as it claims to be.

No complaints here. I have it pushing 1 15" RF punch in a custom sealed box, and it powers it very well, my rearview mirror really shakes when it's turned up. I haven't had any trouble with it overheating even with the gain turned up, but I honestly only checked it a few times right after install. Guess we'll see how it does in the summer when it heats up. The remote is a nice touch too.
