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.

VIBE Audio Black Air 10 - an audio masterpeice

I have been an audiophile for about 15 years now, and I cannot come up with one negative thing to say about VIBE. Build quality is superb, appearance of all their products are simply beautiful, cost is decent, and sound of all their products are just amazing. Vibe is high-end quality for what you pay, and they produce the best looking audio components out there in my opinion. The Black Air 10 is a masterpiece.

Excellent value

I've owned this amp for 6 months now. This amp is very small (roughly the footprint of a DVD case, and ~2-3" tall). Fits perfectly in the area between the cabin and trunk on my '01 Miata, so it doesn't take up any precious trunk space, and is completely out of sight. Sound quality seems very good hooked up to my Alpine Type-X Reference 6.5" components; noticeably better than before, when I was using my head unit's built-in amp (a larger, more expensive amp would probably offer slightly better sound quality, but I haven't noticed any particular flaws with the sound from this one - sounds fine to me; channel separation is decent, haven't noticed any crosstalk, all frequencies are clean and well-defined). Amp seems well-built, and I haven't had any issues with it overheating so far, even though it's tucked away and cut off from any real airflow. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the amp, and can't find anything bad to say about it. It isn't loaded with features, but it does have a variable high or low pass crossover, and a basic "bass boost" feature. The only real complaint I have is that the gain for the left and right channels are set individually via separate potentiometers, so you're never absolutely sure you've set both of them to the exact same setting - and that's a very minor complaint.

Small,powerfull.

Using on a Kawasaki vn2000, fits in saddlebag,odd control location and dual gains,otherwise a great value! Auto on only works with hi-level input setting.

Litebox GH class

Purchased this unit to power a stereo in a small fish/ski boat. Sound and depth is incredible. Was looking for the G/H class for weight and power consumption, and heat. This amp fit the bill perfectly. Almost bought a second (and I have no need or anything to hook it up to) just because of its outstanding performance and features. It currently drives one set of Polk 6 1/2" component speakers, and one set of Kicker 5 1/2" speakers. The fish and skiers hear me coming.

Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Great things in small packages

Compact, durable, great audio quality, all at a pretty reasonable price.

decent little amp

I have this amp mounted in my icechest radio with a set of Polk MM691's. I chose this amp because it is small and light. When it arrived I told my wife that if the amp was built half as good as the box it came in I would be happy. It puts out plenty of power and has a small footprint. I don't like the fact that the controls are on the bottom of the amp. You have to set everything and then mount it. It has a gain for the right and the left channels. The control for the right channel kept turning after it should have stopped. I thought it was broken but it turned back down and back up again, it just didn't stop at the end. I have used it for a few days and am pleased with the sound I am getting. It does get a little warm. I had a Kenwood amp in my last icechest radio and it didn't get this hot. It has not shut down from overheating yet.

Great sub.

I have this sub in a .75 cubic feet sealed box, a little less than recommended, and I plan to polyfill soon. I have a Pioneer premier 2 channel delivering 600 watts rms to it currently, low passed up high at 500hz. It sounds AWESOME! Very tight and precise bass, exactly how I like it. I bet if it were in a ported or bandpass box it would be loud as all hell, but it sounds very good in my sealed set up. It is very sturdy and the terminals are nice as well. It is unfortunate that this product has a bad review that states no reason why it was rated poorly. I definitely recommend it. My test tracks were from Adele, Deltron 3030, Pinback, Ray LaMontagne and Atmosphere. It handles all genres very well.

Vibe 2

I installed this amp in the fairing of my 2010 Street Glide. I had to do a few modifications inside the fairing to make it fit. I had to trim some plastic away from my speedometer and tachometer housings and also remove the stop from the top of my stock stereo to make it fit.

Was it worth it? You bet.

For half the price of most motorcycle specific amps, I got twice the power, and it really brought out the best in my 7-1/4 inch J&M speakers. I did make sure to waterproof the amp the best I could, by using waterproof tape over any seams in the housing. It's been 6 months since I installed this, and it's still going strong. When I was setting the amp up, we had the stereo turned up to 3/4 volume. About 5 minutes into it, a neighbor four houses down came and complained about the noise. We weren't doing this outside, we were in my garage. I can finally hear my stereo going down the freeway, with my fullface helmet on.

VIBE Audio Black Air 10 (BA10)

I had never tried any system from vibe, But after hearing about the performance from colleague i had to try it. If you are looking for deep bass, in a small compartment this is the sub to get. I would recommend it to installer and for a very reasonable price.

Great Value

I just bought one of these on sale and it is hooked to a Hifonic HFi 100.2 amp in a vented enclosure in the back of my wrangler. It really does a great job for a kit under 200$ brand new...

good sub

Nice clean bass it hits the low end bass I wish I had a vented box that will hit alot harder I really recommend these

Great affordable kit

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

true rms

i have 4 of these in sealed boxx 1 cubic foot each 425 watts rms it can handle with no problem but sound is not all that i wish i had brought kicker in stead oh yeah good test song rick ross mc hammer but dont crank it until u break woofer in good or u may blow it but it will let u know if u have a good woofer or not so far kicker has been the only woofer to reproduce the bass notes right im sure there may be others that can do it but u will not have to wonder if u choose kicker and for power hifonic u get a lot for little

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

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

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.

Decent product for the price.

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

Great box

This box is overall a great product. Just sleek, simple, and perfect.

NOT Perfect for RE SEX10D4 sub

This box is sold as a package deal with an RE SEX10D4 sub and the sub does not fit in the opening. The opening will need to be widened to fit the cage of the sub through the hole. Air space is perfect for the RE recommended .65cu ft after sub is installed and it sounds clean and reproduces deep lows.

Beware this is a budget box and the poly fill is loosely glued to the interior of the box. After modifying box and wiring sub I did need to re-glue polyfill. Also the carpet is not perfect and a small area on the face of the box was missing carpet and appeared to have a rusty staple exposed. I don't care about looks so it was right for me.

Box review

This box is more than what I expected out of a prefab sealed enclosure. It has a great build quality and looks great. The carpet is decent. I'd definitely recommend this box to anyone looking for a small sealed enclosure who doesn't want to build one. I couldnt have done any better for the price and it fit my sub's sealed spec requirements according to the manufacturer.

Just what you expect

It's exactly what it says. The terminals are a little weak on the inside. Other than that, excellent.

awesome box

I am new to car audio. I read up on everything before buying my current setup, a Rockford 10" Punch sub. I drive a station wagon, and was worried that it wouldnt sound great compared to using a ported box, but this works just fine. Pretty durable, havent had any problems.
