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.

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!!!

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.

By stormyknight on September 8, 2016 Verified purchase

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.

By Chad on February 17, 2020 Verified purchase

Surprised

I put 2 of the 43c104 10 inch subs in my avalanche and was not sure if they would sound good for such a low price. Well I'm glad I did these sub's sound really good and they are running free air mounted in the mid gate. I have always had a box but wanted to try a free air setup and was quite surprised they put out more bass than a lot of my sealed box's have. If you try a free air setup you have to separate the front bass wave from the rear wave not just under the seat.

so pros: great sub,low price,handles power well
cons: none yet

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.

Kicker 10 inch Subs

Kicker subs have never let me down. For the price these are the best subs out there.

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

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!

Sounds great

The bass sounds great and kicks! This is a really good sounding speaker.

By ken on June 14, 2020 Verified purchase

Better than expected

My friends and I are blown away by the abilities of these speakers. I would recommend to anyone. I blast metal and rap, great for all!

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

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!

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 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

Unbelievable!

I’ve had them: Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, JBL, CV, MTX, L7’s, and RF P3’s and P2’s...THIS little 10” mappatappa is the real deal! No joke. Built solidly and looks the part without being “cheesy” or “gadgety”, you know? I’ve not yet completely broken it in but it is quite impressive. I don’t miss the P3SD4-12 or 12” L7. And for $45? GET OUT!
It’s loud but not overbearing (as long as you adjust it properly). I’ve pushed it with an JL XD600/6 and an RF600X5. Shockingly, the RF sounds better. I think it as an appetite for power.
I’m sure it can get deep. I cross it over @160hz. I’ve not heard it drop hard and low LOW yet (not trying to kill it) but I’m sure it has the capability.
I think I’m a Kicker sub fan now!

Thanks for the hook-up, SonicElectronix. THEE premier source for mobile audio gear. Great prices, solid tech support (although hold times are ridiculous), and fast shipping. It’s ALL good.

By Sozo on January 11, 2018 Verified purchase

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

okay for the price!!!

I would reccomend this amplifier to anyone that is pushing no more than one subwoofer at a time. I had it hooked up to a 400 watt RMS Kenwood sub and it sounded very good. Pro's for this sub are that the ground and power cable weren't right beside each other. No cons and great amp for the money.

Everything ya need!

Plenty of product for use ..easy to wire everything up! Shipping was great as well!

By Dennis on December 25, 2023 Verified purchase

Dual's greatest kicks

So my dad got this amp at his work inside a crashed car. The amp is brand new, I have it connected to my pyramid 20 amp power supply with a pioneer headunit 2 12's in ported box 1 kicker 300 watts max 150 rms and a sony 1000 watts max and guys I swear it sounds like so damn nice and clean. 0 distortion and no dimming at all in my power supply. It doesn't even over heat :) I would highly recommend this amp :] can't go wrong.

great cheap amp

i bought this amp to power one 2nt orion sub its a 10 inch and it shakes my mirrors in my little s10 its hits hard

Great amp to add some bass

I bought this amp to add some bass to my system. It is bridged and paired with a single 12" Kicker Comp in a sealed box. I recommend this unit if you want to add some bass and get the full range of frequency for your music. I listen to alternative/rock music with some R&B and Pop. I don't want other people to hear my bass thumping. The music I play is just for me and people inside my car. This amp has not overheated because I only have my volume on my head unit halfway and it is already loud. This little amp works as promised and would recommend it to anyone. This is a CEA-2006 compliant amp that delivers the full 150 watt RMS it says in the box.

Not a bad little amp

I have it bridged running an 8" kicker comp in a sealed box I made, "a little less money on hand then when I bought my pioneer stuff", I have only good to say about it so far "2 weeks of listening", definately not as strong as my pioneer setup but my pioneer stuff was overkill since I don't want to be heard more than a block away, it hits clean and clear, and doesn't go protect at just over half volume on my Alpine head unit which is enough to feel at a half a block.
It's a great little amp for the price.

VERY NICE

I own this amp, have been using it for 6 months now, pushiing a 10" sealed box. Couldn't be happier. Never fails or over heats. Plenty of power if tuned correctly. Solid brand at a great price. You will not be let down.

Very good amp

I borrowed this amp off a friend. For only a 400 watt amp I'm impressed. This thing pushes my 12's about the same as my old Power Acoustik 2000 watt amp.

Good for Speakers

Hooked it up to my Four Rockford Fosgates, and it sounds decent. Not like a Rockford Fosgate Amp would, but hey, for 60 bux, it'll keep my content till i get a RF Amp.

dual amp

this amp is perfect i have it hooked up to a 12 inch sub and it pounds ppl can hear me a block away

Great

This amp is great. I'm new to car audio but this is so easy to set up and it sounds so good. for the price it's a must have

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.

Dual 400 Watt Amp

Pushing 2 ol skool rockford fosgate 12's perfectly, was skeptical at first but am pretty amazed by the performance.

ok

its a decent amp i just hooked it up in my jeep pushing 2 kicker comp 10's and i have it bridged, and it's beating pretty hard but the bad thing is it has already over heated on me 4 times in 38 degree weather... i dont recommend

Amazing for the price!

This may only be a small 2 channel amplifier but don't let it's small size decieve you, it packs a punch! I use it to drive my Kicker KS6930's and they are 5x louder and clearer than when I ran them off my HU. Bridged it has enough power to run a decent sub but it's not going to set off car alarms going through town. Overall a very good product for the price, I would definitely buy it again and I highly recommend for anyone looking for more volume and clarity out of their speakers

Quality

I have no idea what this guy above me is talking about I have a kicker comp. 12 and as long as u bridge it which he didn't it will hit as hard as u want it with the kicker being at 150w rms the amp puta out exactly 150rms which I why I bout it and I cant complain one bit it's also paired with a pioneer avh4200 and alpine spr 61/2 components and spr51/4 so he might not have all that but it's a great amp for anything running 150w rms or below bridges of course....

ehh....

not really the best for subs. i had one Kicker comp 300w max power and this barely ran it at 400w. i guess it would b ok for your mids/highs but not for subs

great quality and works as designed

By RICK on October 29, 2024 Verified purchase

By Anonymous on July 13, 2019 Verified purchase

Great deal on an entry level amp.

This little amp is plenty powerful to push a 10 or an 8. It will push a lower powered 12 too, but I’d recommend a ported box as they tend to require less power to move the sub. I think it’s perfect for someone who just wants to add a decent bit of low end but not shake the windows loose. I have to say, it did make a huge difference in my buddy’s Nissan Pathfinder. He was pleased with the sound, as was I. You won’t win competitions with this amp but you will make your low end drastically better.

Best BANG for your buck

I have this amp bridged to a single 10" pioneer champion and i swear it hits harder then my brother in laws 2 12" sony explods. i had the amp pushing two sundown 10's and it pushed them with no problem. i perfer to use it over my kicker 500 amp

cheap but good

CEA compliant measures to what it sayd good stuff lol only at Sonic.

Great value

Did what it was supposed to do.

By Jack on March 2, 2025 Verified purchase

Nice

I would recommend this amp for a smaller single sub or for some 6.5. I bought it for my son to push a single 12 and it does the job for now. Don't know if I want him to have one much bigger. I can hear him coming up the road as it is!

By Thomas on August 3, 2020 Verified purchase

Dyno proven - makes CEA-rated power and a little more

I put this little 2/1 channel amp to my bench dyno using an SMD AMM-1 and a Shiruken 100-amp, 1400-watt max power supply. Real-world stuff, no battery bank or crazy setup. A consistent 13.4 volts under load.

I hooked it up to a 4-ohm Boston Acoustics G2. This little amp peaked at 156 watts at 3.1 ohms on a 40Hz test tone. On a music track, it pegged 177 watts at the same 3.1 ohms before clipping.

So, I'd say it does rate power at 4-ohms mono in a real-world situation. Kudos for a budget mainstream amp to put out the power it says it will.
And for $40? Pair it up with an efficient 10" or 12" sub in the right box and you're all set.



Keep bumping, my friends.

Really good for the money

Needed to replace an old amp in a boat. I cant believe how good this amp is for only $30.

Good but not Great

I run my Alpine Type S speakers off this and they work well but I get too much bass from the amp and have to turn it almost all the way down to listen to it loud. Overall it works well and im content with it. It makes my speakers sound much better then without the amp but I know they could sound much better

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. The lengths were sufficient for my install and everything looks to be of great quality. Shipping was extremely quick and well packaged.
