Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good buy

This kit made it very easy to install the radio. The instructions weren't the best but it was pretty self explanitory. Overall good investment

good product

Good product for hooking up a small amplifier.. has everything you need..

Great!

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

Nice install kit!

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

good product

All necessary items needed and wanted to install a low to moderate power amplifier.. priced right as well..

Great kit for the money

This was the least expensive kit I could find to install my sub. It worked fine and had all the bits and pieces needed. Didn't really want blue wire but I wire-loomed everything anyway so it doesn't show up. Recommended!

Great value..

there was enough wire to run from my battery to the trunk in my 2001 Civic.

Good kit

RCA cables are thin and cheap. Other than that it is a good kit with everything you could need.

It's an amp kit

Has all wires needed to install a smaller amplifier. Power, ground, RCAs, speaker wires, fuse holder, and even has various connectors included

Great produ Great price

Product was well above average in quality and looks. Up there with the big boys like tsunami and streetwire at a third of the price.

First timers

Learned alot from this kit but i would go with 0g for best results.

good kit

got this kit because of the price. was surprised because it was decent. Has everything you need and a few leftovers. For the price its well worth it.

amp kit

nice amp kit for the money not sure if its a true 8 ga but for the price what can you say it works

Bang for the buck!

This is by no means Kicker quality... But it is also by no means Kicker price. You get what you pay for. For a CHEAP entry level system, this is sufficient. Wouldn't push it all that hard though.

Awesome install kit

I'm running four 8" subs off of two 175watt RMS amps, and the cables don't even get hot, even at very high levels.

1.5 years after install, they are holding up just fine.

Comes with good quality gold plated connectors that don't fall off.

If you are resourceful, this has enough cables do do an install on two cars.

What more could I ask for?

Good quality, could've been longer.

Very good quality cable with high quality insulation. The hardware that came with it was of high quality too... better than most generic electronic connections.

I wish the power cable was a bit longer, though... ended up using it and the ground cable just for the positive line. Finding more wire isn't hard, but it was an inconvenience.

A+

This kit is awesome for the $. quality product.

works just fine

Not the nicest cables however for my budget the work wonderfully

cheapish

The ground and power wires are coated with thin plastic instead of the red or blue braided heavier coating. If you get a tiny slit or cut in them you will lose the amp for awhile and have to get another $30 install kit so be careful with those two wires.

good kit

Comes with everything you need.

these kits rock

Price was right and the quality was just as good.

very nice kit

Overall this kit was very nice and of good quality. It does include connectors, grommets, 1 single spade connector, 1 butt connector etc. However those little accessories are very low quality and I would suggest buying your own from the local hardware store.

However, the wires and fuse themselves were very good quality and I would buy again.

it works well

My friend has this kit and it works fine for him. It is powering a 1200 watt amp and it is working after 4 months of use.

Great Value!

More value in this than the price you pay!

great product

good quality cables, their nice & flexible so it's easy when wiring them in the car. only downfall is the ground cable is really short, but oh well. great overall

Thinner than I thought it would be

Just ordered the exact same product in 8 gauge from a different site. when it arrive I compared it to othe pieces of 8 gauge wire I had and appeared to be about half as much metal/wire as the other pieces I had. Im not sure if this is low quality or not I havnt hooked it up to any amp yet but it just seems more like 10 gauge wire than 8 gauge wire

AK8 install kit

I would definitely recommend this install kit!

The InstallBay AK8

This is an all round good kit for the value. It serves the purchase well. Clean sound and plenty of current for your amp. I have run this on several amps now and never had an issue.
Highly recommend to anyone for a system under 500 watts RMS

Perfect for the application

This kit is perfect for smaller powered systems
Quality is good I recommend it nothing fancy but it does the job and it works well I recommend this for systems between 100-1000 watts

Great product for the price

It definitely did the job. The lengths of the power wires and the remote wires are more than enough. good buy

Tiny

These wires are tiny in thick insulation, just a warning.

Not bad

I bought this box about 6 months ago, and it's not a bad box, but it could have been built a little better and cleaner looking. The edges of the carpet where they cut out for the sub was starting to come up after I took it out of the box.

Good for starting out

This is a good box for a less powerful sub. It gets the job done.

Great affordable kit

Does the job, exactly as advertised, for a low price. If you need a an amp wiring kit for

nice sound great bass

this looks almost exactly like the one that i recently bought from sonicelectronix so i wanted to post a review to let everyone know how it does. To start off i went with this and the pioneer champion series pro sub because im limited on space but the box does perform very well with the sub but i do think it would sound alittle better in a slightly bigger box but dont let size fool you because this little box bangs trust me if your limited on space then this is the one for your small compact and awesome sound and bass pros:great sound awesome bass cons:none

Dont hesitate, Just Buy!

This box was a great product. One of the best systems that I've ever owned! Dont bother trying to make your own - this saves you time and money.

Does the job

Havent had any issues. Gives the boom i need.

Not totally sealed, but a definite win.

Easy to connect, quality materials and decent looks make this a win. I can hear air moving out of it with my 2500 Watt peak nx12d Boss sub.

Best Amp Kit Around

Great amp kit, this will be the third car i've bought this for including a hybrid and i've seen it go through two iterations and them changing the fuse holder so you know they're listening to complaints. My only complaint still is you have to buy a second RCA when you buy it. Never had any of the cables be cut by anything on accident or anything i did have an old alpine amp that would cause one of the braids to fray but that was the amps fault. Yeah its not your beefy zero gauge stuff but not everyone wants or most of all can afford that. Overall great cables, great discreet fuse holder, includes all you need at a great price.

By Logan on July 11, 2016 Verified purchase

Good price

It had everything I needed to hook up my amp

Great price.

Good kit for smaller set up, I actually use much heavier cable, I just ordered for a friend.

High quality

Got this for my truck and everything fitted like it should. Can't complain

Great value

Very nice amp install kit especially for the price!!! Definitely would recommend it.

By garry on January 16, 2018 Verified purchase

Get what you pay for

This kit gets the job done, but don't expect anything beyond that. Not that I'm complaining, it was the cheapest kit I could find on this site. If you are running 500 watts or less this is the kit for you. If you got a couple mofo's you should get a better kit.

By D on June 12, 2017 Verified purchase

Must have

Must have for connecting sub, amp & stereo. Item is complete with everything you need.

Good Product

It is a good product for hooking up small amps to your car audio system.

ak8 kit

Good wiring kit for the money. Comes with all the parts needed .

By stephen on November 8, 2015 Verified purchase

Decent wiring kit

I bought this kit and wired it into a 100w amp. Wires are flexible and as described AWG.

By Aimee on April 16, 2020 Verified purchase

Great Value

Exactly as expected. Used it to hook up a mono amplifier to subs. Does not include speaker wire.

By Anonymous on November 27, 2019 Verified purchase

Perfect kit

This kit came with plenty of needed wiring and connectors. Even included zip ties to secure wiring highly recommend this kit

Good bang for the buck

Decent amp kit for the money. True 8ga copper, very flexible making it easy to route. I enjoy the type of fuse holder they give with the kit. The crimps are nice. The rcas are on par. I enjoy the attention to detail with the color combination. I'm using this kit to run a Soundstorm sv.200 amp, works just fine. Plenty of length on my good ole toyota pickup (94).

By Tonster on October 31, 2017 Verified purchase

Prefect for me

Excellent product and great performance from it great purchase thanks

Not Bad

A great price for a basic amp wiring kit. Worked great for my relatively low powered amp. Would definitely recommend for a low powered system.

By Adam on October 18, 2016 Verified purchase

Basic kit on a budget

Wires/fuses legit, no problem with temps at all. Didn't use RCA , no complaints for price!!!!

Quality product

This kit is very nice. The wire size is decent and not a bunch of insulation. Everything in the kit is of good quality. I was happy with my purchase.

Good stuff

I really thought it was going be a bit big but it was the perfect size for my car and it All work really good ...

Good low power kit

Kit is exactly what is say, nice quality power and ground cable. RCAs work as they should. Crimps hold well. Overall a great buy for my 4 channel DD amp.

Best bang for buck

My new go to amp kit everything you need good quality copper .

By Robert on January 25, 2016 Verified purchase

Good sub for $40.00

This sub sounds clean and gives good bass in the right box. Had mine in a sealed 1.0 and it was great if your getting just one. I would recommend the kenwood kac-1502s from this site, it's a tiny beast.

good bass!

i highly recommend this sub to everyone on a budget looking for good bass...had 2 of these in a sealed box with a 600watt rms sony xplod amp and let me tell you these things are loud! Best sub for the price.

Great kit

This was a great kit to add a midline amp to existing deck speakers. Good quality wire

InstallBay 8 Gauge Amp Kit (AK8)

Wow-what a great value for included parts. Yes, the wire is CCA but for the cost, no complaints here. Everything needed for standard installs is here. The RCA seems to be of good quality and the mini ANL is also very nice.

By Thomas on April 26, 2020 Verified purchase

The better option

The power and ground wires in this kit might be slightly less than 8 gauge. But still close enough that they will work fine for most amps that work wire 8 gauge input. Cables are long enough to reach the back of just about any car. And a kit is much more convenient and cheaper than having to buy all the pieces separately.

By greg on May 20, 2020 Verified purchase

Great deal

The wires are of quality build and the insulation is flexible making them easy to install. Impressed for the price. The fuse holder is decent but isn’t water tight. I’d buy again if needed.

By Robb on January 6, 2020 Verified purchase

Flexable! went where I needed it to go.

The InstallBay 8 gauge amp kit(AK8) was perfect for my needs, had everything to do a complete install of my amp. and with that flexabilty that the wires have - made very easy to route it where I needed it to go.

Install Bay 8 Ga. Wiring Kit

There is not much more to say other than- I absolutely love it!!!! The kit is complete with everything I needed, and is so affordable I bought one just to have on hand. I have paid much more for similar kits and don't see a difference. I was also happy to have all the terminals included, wire ties, and a grommet for firewall penetrations. They thought of everything! Thank you Sonic and thank you Install Bay!!!

product not arrived

wonder what is the problem to get what I order

By carlos on December 8, 2017 Verified purchase

They are Awesome!!

They sound great. 15 out of 10.

Very Good Bass

This subwoofer is very tight, very clean, and handles well at 1000 watts. Definitely a 15 outa 10.

Impessive bass

I put one in my home powered subwoofer 1.5 cuft ported box 150 watt rms and it produces some earth shaking bass. I bought a Pioneer tsw303r and it sounded ok but when I put this sub in Wow the bass was tight and deep. Maybe it has to do with the huge voice coil 2 9/16. Very few subs have a voice coil this big. For the price you cant go wrong. Nice job Kenwood.

Very nice Subs

They sound excellent in my Bronco II. Couldnt find a better sub for the price.

=(

So I've had this box for about two weeks, and I'm not ashamed of it. I have a 12" Kicker CVX and 750 rms watts goin to it. It hasn't failed me once I got it working. But the terminals inside the box gave me troubles. They're made out of cheap cheap thin metal that felt like plastic. After I finally figured it out it was 2 hours l8r. I just took out the terminals and hooked the wires straight up, but I expected a good electrical connection but apparently not. Other than that hassle I like the box.

this box does not use true 3/4" wood, its 11/16"

decent quality, but wood is undersized. if using a high power woofer this might be a problem. im using this box for a Image Dynamics IDQ12 with low power so this wont be a problem.

Excellent product!

I ordered this product for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loved it! The description is accurate and it was of high quality. I would reccomend this product to anyone!

these things thump

I hooked two of these to my kenwood 7203 wich is rated at 175 x2 at 4 ohm and 220 at 2ohm this amp is under rated and pound the heck out of these subs. Great bass and shakes my house and the people next door already got the cops called on me. You have two get these Kenwood subs. Like they say here in Missouri: if it not pine it not mine, if its not wood its no good, if it not Sony its phoney. I highly recomend this subs to anyone.

g

I love these things they pound for only being 200 rms and the voice coil is rare of the size i would reconmend this to my friends.

Great box for the price

Have a Rockford Fosgate R2D2-12 mounted in it and it does the job for me. Regarding other reviews that say the box is too thin and won't handle higher power. Define what "higher power" is so your reviews can be helpful. The RF sub can handle 250W RMS (500 max) mated to an appropriate amp. I don't think it will blow the sides off. 1000W RMS maybe but then you shouldn't be buying the Sonic house brand sub box if you're running that kind of power. The box is very sturdy and does the job quite nicely for 250W RMS.

great value for the price

Is a good box for the price and with the house speakers it is a great value and sounds good too.

thet work really good

This good for if you want a nice good clean sound.

Very nice underrated 2 channel amp.

I bought this amp to power a set of Infinity 6 1/2 component set. The power is great, if not shocking. The fact that it is rated at a real world 12.5 volts is a HUGE plus with me. Amps rated at 14.4 volts I avoid because I want to know what it produces at 12.5 volts, when the car is off. All amps produce more power at 14.4 volts. The looks of the amplifier are great as well because flash is not my thing. Controls are placed thoughtfully and easy to adjust. There are also RCA outs which allow you to daisy chain additional amps with ease. Though the amp gets a little warm, it never goes into thermal protection (I am pushing it pretty hard in 2 ohms) This amp is best suited for persons that love getting MORE than what they paid for without sacrificing quality.
