Customer Ratings & Reviews

has it all

Kit has everything you need for a hassle free installation, I was thinking I wasn't going to need it, but was glad I had it after things got going.

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!!!

Love

I bought this my my 2007 jetta. It work really good the it was easy to put on. I would buy this again.

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.

Does what its suppose to do!

This product is exactly what it is, a kit! I LOVE IT, everything i needed was included and durable! the 4ga wire is true to size! (not just labeled 4ga IT REALLY IS!) if needed, id purchase again!

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

AK4

Bought the Installbay AK4, pretty decent pricing although its wire is very brittle and falls apart when splicing it so be careful. Also remember your going to need a crimping tool so look for one before getting too excited. Overall good product, no problems encountered

Great product!

Now my 1993 honda accord sounds better than ever! Exellent product 100% recomended!

not bad

The power and ground wire seem like they are true 4 guage. The speaker wire could be a little bigger and the RCA cable seem a little thin. Overall not bad kit for what ya pay for it.

Best

I use my for about 2 years I love it its the best ak4 I every had.

!great product!

Wonderful proformance! Easy install! Great value for this kit, that proforms just as good as a more expensive brand for less!

Great Value

Works great with my Alpine amp would deff. rec.

CAN NOT BEAT IT FOR THE $$$

I just needed a cheap kit for my girl friend's Dad's van and boy did it do the trick. For the price you're not going to find much else, it's super flexible. Can't ask for more for the money.

ehh

Good price. Nice sized wire, but not enough connectors for what it's supposed to do. Also not a very big fuse.

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.

Great value

For the price you will not find any thing better. The kit comes with long enough, and big enough wires. As for electrical noise and static I have not experienced any.

Does job for the money

This amp kit is decent, it does the job for the money paid. Only complaints would be that the speaker wire is very cheap and does not hold up very good. It rips easily. I have it powering an 800 watt mono block amp...For the money it does the job.

Cable

Greed durable work well.

Basic Kit, served its purpose

Nothing to complain, or rave about, basic kit that served its purpose. although the wire did not properly fit into the fuse holder(i upgraded to a kicker anl/afs 4/0 gauge).

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.

Ok kit for the money.

I have had ok luck with the kit. The connectors for the big power wire and ground kind of suck to crimp and I've had a little bit of the copper strands come apart at the connections but I'm not sure if thats my fault or not. Im not an expert installer but i did take electrical in college so I'm not doing too much wrong.

Not bad

Overall it's a sick kit. The power/ground are 4awg, the rca's work great, fuse / fuse holder is great, the speaker wire was not sufficient for my application. Amp required min. 12 gauge and the speaker wire in this is a small 16 gauge.

great for the price what can i say

Got this kit 7 months ago running 500 watts and 2 x 10's it works for me and is cheaper vs the $160 amp kit i got in the other car.

amp kit

Works great i would buy this item again if needed...TR

worked perfect

super easy to install everything i needed was included made for easy install .

No problems

It works, it's a great price, and I can't tell a difference over higher end wiring kits. Unless you are installing an exotic system, this wiring kit should do the trick!

Decent kit for the cost

Everything you would need in a wiring kit. Only downside is the ground and power connectors were too small for the battery post and ground point, had to go and find larger size (which were difficult to find)

pretty good

the couplings arent that good. get it right the first time and you'll be good. i dont think the 4 gauge is true 4 gauge but it gets the job done. works fine for me.

all you need

Has everything you need. The only thing is u might want a higher fuse to use, other than that there is nothing bad you could possibly say about these wires.

Godd kit for the price

This is a great kit. The only think that could be better is a little thicker speaker cable. It is sufficient but i just like a little bit bigger. I just used some of my own i had around the house. Otherwise the power and ground cables are thick and sturdy. All around good product.

Great value

Very fast shipping will shop again easy to install will recommend this product

A good cheap install kit.

Not sure what else to say. Wireing is all the actual guage, fuse/connectors are included. Wire is Aluminum coated with copper but your not going to find solid copper for this price. I dident use the RCA's but they look decent.

Very flexable and easy to run.

Gets the job done

All i can say is that this wire kit gets the job done i have it hooked up to 4800 watts of power and i have no problem with it. And it alo comes with speaker wires. No amp kit i ever bought came with speaker wires so it's a good deal.

i runing over 1000 watts througth this cable

Pros/Cons: All and all great wire and kit but this is not true 4 gauge but is very close. i have not had any problems with my system and my local audio shop only carrys this. this is great for the money. i have the 4 and 8 gauge kits. 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.

About this product...

Perfect. Came with everything and was exactly what I needed.

Great Value

Durable, cheap instillation kit,

Great Kit not true 4 gauge but works great

Hey you get what you pay for i guess but i see no problems here the kit funtions great

Pro
-Cheap
-Reliable
-Funtional

Cons
-I needed around 20ft of wire, 17 provided
-I Need around 50ft of wire, 24ft provided

Great Product

I would recommend this kit to people running about a 1000 watts works great.

Great value

love the product ok wired Like the the stuff that comes in the package

great value

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. Flexible wires but pretty small speaker wire, I'd recommend new speaker wire for subs. The fuse came apart when installing the fuse holder but those are cheap. I've recently bought this again for another amp and works perfect again.

good kit

I've used this kit in two different installs and the wire is very flexible the only problem i have with the kit are the pack of terminals that it comes with you might as well throw it away

Great kit

I've had it for 4 months now. On 15's and 12's and NO problems!

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).

its not bad

it not 100% true 4ga wire but it gets the job done, it says it comes with a agu fuse but mine actually came with a mini anl fuse.. so i bought extra fuses for nothing...but overall a great kit.

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.

Not 4 gauge.

It's not even close to 4 gauge.

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.

makes life so much easier

Make it so easy for the do it yourselfers. It's all there for you just plug it in can't screw it up.

you get what you pay for

I wouldnt 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... itll be worth it in the end.

Great product

Works well with correct application

Not much to say

What's to say about wires. They do what they need to do, and they do it excellent

easy install

Great price and made the amp install quick and easy.Included everything I needed to install a 4 Chanel amp.

Great Wiring Kit

I would recommend this kit it has all they essentials and easy to install.

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.

AMAZING VALUE

I have been enjoying this product for over 6 month now and it couldnt work any better, tough, dependable, and again it works great!!! for such a low price!!! unbeatable!!!! definetly recomend to anyone looking for the best.

Great Value

Has everything you need to successfully install in minutes. Thank you.

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.

can't complain

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.

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!!

Great Value.

Comes with everything you would need, plenty of wire and connectors. Don't spend double at a retail store for the same thing this works just as well.

Good Product, Great Prie!

If your looking to save money on a wiring kit, this is definitely the item for you. Ive been using it on my 1000 watt amp and ive never had a problem.

Great product

I had enough length for all my connections. The only cons would be upgrade the speaker wire and get a bigger fuse holder because the wire seems to be bigger than the holes. Other than that a must buy for the price.

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.

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.

Decent Wires

Did the job. No issues. Used on a 600 watt amp with 600 watt sub.

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.

great value

Product was in great shape it was all a one shop deal.

install kit

it has all the stuff u really need to install and amp not bad for the price.

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.

Great Value

Hooked up my Rockford Forsgate P3 12 inch sub Powered by my Cadence ampwith this baby.. The sound quality was superb. No distortions or power interruptions. Good buy

Doing the job

I bought this about 2 years ago to install my Kicker 500.1. The amount of wire provided was just right, and the speaker wire has actually lasted through 2 of my installations. Good cheap way to get your amp hooked up.

good kit

Its not guite 4 ga but thicker than 8 ga hookup. If your amp requires 8 ga hookup, then this is the kit for you. My amp runs cooler with no issues.

nice

Good quality product, smaller amp fuse but perfect for my use.

Great Install Kit

Includes everything, complete kit. Standard durable wires. Great value.

Great deal!!

This is a complete kit with everything you need and extra!

Nice kit for the money

Overall this kit is a good value. All the wire is pretty decent quality. Needs more connectors. For the price you cant beat it, i would recommend this kit.

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.

Great Kit no problems

Great kit for installing your amp. Would buy again Sonic Electronix does a great job !!!

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.

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

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.

Decent product

To this point - I've only had the kit installed a short amount of time, the amp wiring kit is performing as expected. It included everything I needed and all parts appear to be of good quality. Of course, time will tell, but so far, so good.

By Robert on January 15, 2018 Verified purchase

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

great kit

nice quality wire and a great kit for a low price. highly recommend

More like 5 AWG

Decent quality, not true awg wire size. Power wire is more like 5 awg.

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.

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.

Install Bay 4 Gauge Amplifier Power Wiring Kit (AK4)

Not bad for a bargain amp kit. Does what it is suppose to do. Would Recommend.

By Anonymous on December 25, 2018 Verified purchase

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.

By joshua on October 19, 2017 Verified purchase

Good quality wires

Absolutely nothing wrong with anything provided in this kit. Insulation is pliable and easy to run through the vehicle. Has lasted years with no signs of degradation.

Install Bay 4 Gauge Amplifier Power Wiring Kit (AK4)

It’s a good product it was easy to install and I’m having very good times and good fun with it

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.

Awesome kit

This kit has very nice quality wire I would even say oversized way worth the price

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.

By Rosscoe P. on January 23, 2017 Verified purchase

Not bad for the price

You get what you pay for. Not a bad kit. It is definitely not true 4guage.

By luis on December 20, 2019 Verified purchase

Has it’s flaws

Everything works great except for the fuse holder , the terminals do not go tight enough to secure the power wire that came with the kit

Install Bay 4 Gauge Amplifier Power Wiring Kit (AK4)

Best deal on wire around, I would recommend this wire kit

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

Installbay

it works like a charm works really supper great. Really great

Excellent wiring kit

I highly recommend this product, i was running 8 gauge wire until my fuse holder melted, this wiring kit is very nice although i wish it had a little better quality fuse holder.

By Anthony on August 7, 2017 Verified purchase

Decent kit

Plenty of wire, everything worked, the fuse holder is pretty cheap though, the set screw is a bit small to hold the wire in place.

By John on July 8, 2017 Verified purchase

Great product for the price

Wasn't adding a huge system into my vehicle, but still wanted more then just a 8 gauge kit and this fit the bill. May not be true 4 gauge but seems plenty durable. Some say the fuse holder is flimsy and cheap but I have had no issues with it. Would definitely recommend to someone on a budget.

By Cody on March 2, 2017 Verified purchase

Great Value!

Highly recommended. Best wiring kit for price range & is durable.

By Steve on January 12, 2017 Verified purchase

It's a decent amp kit for the price

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.

Great kit

This amp kit is true 4ga kit. Kit comes with nice RCA cable also. Hardware was a nice touch with everything needed to complete a clean amp install.

By Jay on May 2, 2022 Verified purchase

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.

Great little amp

Don't look at the price tag on this amp, It doesn't matter. This amp is worth every penny. It may not put out a crazy amount of power, but it will make your subs hit. I love this amp and have powered every pair of subs I've owned on it. Great amp, great buy. Highly recommend.

The best Amp I ever heard

When I want to SWAT (Stereo West Audio Toys) for their birthday bash, I bought a pair of 12 Kicker comp since it was buy one and get one free. With my luck, the Kicker rep was showing off what Kickers can do among other things. I originally was going to buy a DX amp, or I was going to go to inPhase and buy a Alpine MRX mono.

The Kicker rep told me to buy the ZX400.1. I thought it was a great deal since it was on sale and I never regretted buying it.

I would say if anyone was looking for a great mono amp, BUY THIS ONE.

Awesome amp

Great amp puts out more power than it rated for would buy this product a million times over u can never go wrong with kicker

=(

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!

Kicker 11zx400.1

I purchased this amp for my 3rd Generation Alpine SWR-1242d, I received the spec sheet that said it gives over 483 watts. I strongly recommend this amp for a ported setup. It really gets my Type R 12 moving!

Great Amp

Puts out alot more than it says and does get a little warm but thats the same with any amp. Make sure you have good airflow under it. I would recommend this amp to anyone looking for quality products

awesome amp

To start off, I had this amp for a long time and never had one single problem with it other than a few times went into protection mode from being hot, but was a really hot day out when that happened. I would recomend this because it's compact and overall really good looking. It performs like a champ, and will push your subs to the edge so if you're looking for an amp that will get the job done then look no further kicker has it.

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 AMPLIFIER

This amp does work.

Awsome AMP

This little amp really puts in work, I received it on 11/4/2011 installed it 11/5/2011 and I have already fallen in love. The fact that I only had to run the power wire from the front, no remote turn on wire. The amp turns on by sound signal detection witch is an awesome feature. This is a great Amplifier. Also, Sonic Electronix is my go-to dealer! You guys are just as awesome as this amp, Thank you Sonic!

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.

Thumbs up

Had everything I needed.
