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.

By Jeromy on July 23, 2016 Verified purchase

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

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.

By Sound dogg on November 8, 2020 Verified purchase

Awesome product

True 8 gauge wire and the flexible insulator is awesome when dealing with tight installs. Great product!

Great wiring kit

This kid has everything you need to wire the unit great value

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

Good Quality

Very good quality items in this package. Thicker than average insulation on all wires. Well worth the price.

Belva BAK82

This kit is great! Everything you need to hook up an audio system.

By Anonymous on April 11, 2019 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!

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

By Figment on July 18, 2022 Verified purchase

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

Best bang for your buck

Don't let this little amp fool you it packs quite a punch I have it pushing a 10 inch Orion sub in a Bandpass box, the sound quality and bass output is amazing, will definitely reccomend this amp!!!

Great Subwoofer!

Put one of these in a 06 Chevy 2500HD crew cab. Fit nicely under the rear seat, eliminating need for custom enclosure.enclosure is very nicely made, and subwoofer itself seems very good quality. Paired it with a Pioneer GM-3400T, these seem perfect for each other. Filled the lack of bass from the stock system and then some! Hits really hard for a shallow mount subwoofer. Better than any other shallow mount I have heard. Sonic has the lowest price I could fine and as always great service!!!!

great review

good sound distinction, not just a thumper but good rich bass enhancment.

Good amp for the money

I bought this amp to power the rear 6.5" Polk DXI 650s speakers in my CX5. They sound very good. A few things to note; this amplifier does not have a high pass filter and I wish I had thought of that before I bought. I had to purchase base blockers to block out the unwanted bass. It also uses a three wire setup instead of four for the speaker level input, which I thought was odd but it works fine. Other than these minor gripes I have, it seems to be pretty solid and light weight.

Great sub.

I recommend this sub and box for anyone looking for one. It fits great under the backseat of my F150 and looks flush. Also has a clean sound and sounds great.

Pioneer TS-SWX251 Sub

I own a 2004 GMC extended cab pickup with Bose speakers. It's a great system but missing a deep bottom end. My son & I installed the Pioneer unit. It fit perfect under the back seat. The sub really helped improve overall sound quality of my system. We were so impressed that my son bought one for his Focus ST!

Good product

Muito bom o amplificador pequeno e muito bonito, sem falar na qualidade do som. Eu importei para o Brasil e chegou rapidinho, só tive que pagar imposto, mas mesmo assim valeu a pena.

Cheap, lacks punch

It is what it is, a cheap sub/enclosure combo. Shallow mount 10", so it's not going to hit particularly hard. It is fairly accurate though, easily fits in the trunk and handles its rated power.
The enclosure is showing a lot of wear and tear after 6 months. I doubt it will hold up another 6 months.

Great service and exactly what i ordered

This was shipped failry quickly especially because I am in Canada. Price was great and Sub works fantastic for my needs. Would order again from Sonic thanks again..

Awesome deal !!

My original setup was an alpine cda105 head unit and alpine sps6.2 components. The head unit just didn't have enough, so i bought this amp to run the components. I am amazed at the performance!!! I have been installing systems for 15 yrs, and am amazed at the clarity this amp brought to my speakers! I highly recommend!

Great Bass! Great Price!

Have a 2012 F150 extended cab. The box fits snugly under the back seat. Rounds out the sound system with the low frequencies. Good power and no distortion.

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.

amp

I can finally give a good review on my 600 dollar purchase I made recently this is a good amp for the price

Great product for the price

Amp works great. Installed to a 12 in speaker and works perfect.

Great product

Great sound from a single 10 and forts nice put of the way under rear seat of Yukon Xl. Have installed 2 now with 300 watt mono amps and really impressed.

Great!!

Works great. Doesn't get hot. Pulled my Polk tweets GREAT!!! No cons!

Red titan

I just love this woofer box. I have 2010 titan and It is a perfect fit under the rear seat. I have the alpine mfd 300 hooked up to it and the bass is amazing. I would recommend this product.

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

Excellent value, very pleased with product!

For my purposes I am pleased with this already enclosed subwoofer, and its performance is more than adequate for my needs.

Great Little Amp

I have this amp powering a JBL GTO804 in a sealed box in the trunk of my '07 Honda Accord EX. I can't believe how much clean bass this tiny amp can put out without overheating. It won't rattle your car apart, but it definately puts out 150 watts like the box says.

Amazing product!

I bought this with the dual 12 inch subwoofer and a housebrand enclosure and its amazing! its pushes the subwoofer greatly. Defintly pushes power it says.

value for money

Well featured and more than enough power to run the Pioneer TS-SWX251 sub and enclosure I bought it to run.

Easy to setup and looks fairly sturdy.

Awesome Amp!

Bought this amp to hook up to my 12in kenwood sub, works great. Hits hard and gives your car a nice thump. Thinking about buying another one to put another sub in my trunk.

Great Little Amp!!!

I bought this amp when it was cheap and it has been a great investment!!! I used it to power a set of components and it made my speakers sound crisp and clear!!!

Lame

Not even 6 months old lost a channel. Get what you pay for.

Pounds for little money down.

This amp is a tiny little powerhouse, I mean, it really goes to town no matter what application you put it on.

Currently, I have two of them, one connected to two of the Kenwood 8 ohm subs (used to be a great deal, now are far too much for what they do) and the other connected to some PowerBass 6x8's in the rear door of my 02' Escape.

Quick note, if you plan to use this on your door speakers, make sure you have a Head Unit with a HPF, because this only comes with a LPF built in and you will find out fairly quickly just how devastating some of those low notes can really be when your pushing actual power through the speakers.

Back on track, the 2 8 ohm subs wired down to 4 ohm (that's 150w RMS) really hit quite hard. I don't have my system optimized, but it really lets loose with VERY little distortion at volumes higher than you'd expect.

The only real downside to the amp is that it's much bigger than it seems, and it's got some odd angles that make it difficult to mount in small spaces.

Either way, it's an amp I'd recommend in a heartbeat for beginner sub systems or someone running door speakers that can take 60 watts of abuse.

Best amp for the price

This has been my first amp I use to power a 500 watt kicker and it rocks very loud bass for a beginner and I push this amp to the max....had it a month and it hasn't overheated once and still sounds great would recommend to anyone

Very good mid-range speaker

I use this amp for my 8" mid range Rockford Fosgates but I have also hooked it up to 6x9's. This amp punches out both. Do not use more than 2 speakers, sound quality suffers. I would buy another one of these for my other car.

Awesome little Amp

Just enough power for one sub . This amp won't disapoint for the entry level systems it gives you just enough bass for the system to sound clean but your not going to win competitions .. put mine in my wife's suburban powering a Kenwood 12" shallow mount and it hits very nice and sounds good. Only con is i would of liked it if there was a bass boost adjustment on the amp seeing how I'm running the stock head unit you have to turn up the volume a decent amount to get that deep bass to pump out ..With that being said still sounds great can't beat the quality for the price.

Best deal for your buck.

I love this amp because it delivers very nice and clear bass. It doesn't shake my car but it can easily shake my seat and rear view mirror with my 8 inch JBL GTO80 200 RMS sub ( Briedged). And it makes my car 4 way system complete. I run my 3 way ( woofer , midrange, tweeter) with 4 channel MPF300 Alpine 300 RMS (2 ohm). 4 way system it's a complete different experience. Amazing. My head unit is pioneer DEH6200.

Nice Amp!

Have this hooked up to a pair or ssl 6X9s and although each speaker wants 88 watts, 75 seems to be good enough! I'm considering upgrading the speakers to better utilize this amp. Kenwood rocks! I do wish it had a variable crossover though. Also it gets kind of hot but not too hot.

Kenwood amp

Really good for 10 inch sub or 2 speakers , next time I'll buy 3 , one for 10 inch sub and two for 4 speakers

Amp Still Working Great!

I still have this on my motorcycle in a saddlebag powering (2) 5.25" speakers in a PVC enclosure up on the handlebars. I use an iPod for the music source. I put it in last fall, and it still sounds as good now as it did then. Great little amp for this type of application. I can run the music for hours w/o the bike running, and it does not run the battery down! I can go on day long rides, and this amp doesn't get hot. Great amp. Easy to hook up. Would recommend to anyone looking for a small-ish sized amp to run some good mids.

great amp

used the amp in a boom cooler pushing 2 alpine 6.5's and 2 alpine 5.25 and it sounds great. I would recommend this amp to anyone who needs a small amp that plays clean sound.Small footprint. I am running the amp in full mode on the crossover and it sounds great.

Diminuitive but powerful

I needed an amp to drive my Pioneer TS-SWX251 sub and this amp has been the perfect companion to it. That sub is super compact but puts out impressive tight bass. This amp is so small that I mounted it under the front passenger seat in my WRX and there is still plenty of foot space for rear passengers. It has had plenty of power (when bridged) for my 4 ohm sub. To top it off, the price is right.

Little amp

I bought this amp to push my 12" kicker comp in a truck box. It worked just fine did everything i pushed it do, just got REALLY hot at time. never shut off or anything though.

Good amp

Kenwood is a good brand, and as always delivers. Used it in my subaru with a boston 8" sub and sounds great.

great amp

I had this pusing my door subs and it sounded awesome but it wasn't enough for them so i upgraded to the kicker ZX500.1 1 for each. This amp is really durable and really well built and can push your mids or subs.

Good amp for the price

Seems to be a good amp for the price. Looking back I wish I'd just bought a mono amp for my sub instead of bridging this one, as I'd have more power. But that's my own fault, not the amps.

Decent little amp

I never have liked kenwood at all but i bought this amp cuz it was cheap and let me tell you it works very well. We hooked it up to a type-r 12 and it did very well it harder than it did hooked to a 1000 watt hifonics amp its a good buy.

Great value

I'm running this amp off the stock deck in my 2010 Honda Civic to power a pair of Polk db651 in the rear deck. It is very compact, light and puts out just the right amount of clean power to augment the factory system. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Nice job Kenwood!

awsome sub

this sub is the bomb.fits any were and and it bangz.

Awesome Little Amp

Got this thing about a year ago. Have it powering a MTX TN12-O4. Not the most powerful thing, but it certainly does the job. Plenty of power. I have yet to even try and set the gains for it. Overall is a great product. Considering another one for my front speakers.

Awesome Amp

I bought this amp in the kit with the Rockford Fosgate R1S4 10" Sub, and wiring kit. I built a custom enclosure into the backseat of my 99 Regal. This amp gives my sub the perfect amount of power. Would recommend to anyone on a budget trying to add a lot of bass to their car. Don't be fooled by the price, Kenwood and Rockford Fosgate are Quality brands. This amp/sub combo wont let you down.

Kenwood kac- 1502s

Powerful little amp. It powers my ts- swx251 sub!!!!sounds great!!!

Great product

Easy to install and gives my speakers a good sound.

Very happy guy

I was once a young wipper snapper and had to have the loudest stereo and have had several setups over the years. I am the happiest with my current setup and this 10" pioneer is part of it. I no longer want loud. I want quality sound and perfect balance between lows mids and highs.

I have this sub in my 06 Nissan Frontier crew cab under the rear passenger seat. It fits but I did have to trim one of the legs on the sub box for a perfect fit. I am not running an amp to my mids or highs and it sounds great. I am powering the sub with a small inexpensive Sony monoblock amp and it's very accurate with tight bass. You won't win any bass competitions but if your space is limited and you want great sound quality and that extra thump look no further fella, you found it!

Just Awesome!

I turned this little box way up, broke her in and she sounds great. Very sleek looking too under my back seat. More bass than I expected. Should be more than enough bass for anyone over 25.

Great Little Amp! 2nd Review....

The first time I reviewed this I just barely hooked it up to some 4" Kicker speakers in a PVC tube (90 degree elbows) enclosure to see how they would sound. It did a great job on those (may still use?). Well, I swapped those speakers out for some 5.25" Aura speakers from another seller (P.E.), and put them into a larger PVC enclosure. I have them up on the handlebars of my '00 Yamaha Roadstar. Let me say that those speakers rock with this amp powering them. Crisp/clean/clear sound. I was amazed. I even had stuff packed up against the amp in my saddlebag for my weekend trip, and it barely got warm! And, I went on a 4 hour ride. Great little amp to run mids/highs. Barely draws any power. Excellent 2 channel for my motorcycle!

amazing value and durability

This amp is great I've had it for months now, never over heats and hits pretty hard on my 2 12" kicker comp subs. If you have one sub or even 2 10" this amp is for you its cheap and well worth the money but if your looking for somthing to really hit you may want to go a bit bigger in watts.

Big noise, out of a little Sub.

Lots of volume and clarity out of this sub for such a compact unit. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lot of bass that hasn't got a lot of trunk space to work with.

Great amp

This amp is great it powers my kicker component speakers amazingly. I am looking to buy another one to power another pair of speakers it is great.

kenwood reliable

CEA compliant true ratings cheaper than retailers.

worth every cent

This gives big sound at a small price.

I bought it to fill out the sound in my VW Beetle and actually had to turn the amp down to a quarter to keep the balance right.

The enclosure is not too big and seems very sturdy, it even comes with brackets and self tapping screws to fix it in place.

I bought it with the Kenwood KAC-1502S and a wire fitting kit all work very well together.

Adaquate

This 10" subwoofer will give you adequate bass. If you really want to have more than enough bass this won't give it. I installed an Infinity 1060w in my other car and it showed me how lacking this Pioneer TS-SWX251 was. I used a sealed single 10" subwoofer angled truck or hatchback box enclosure of about .75 cu. ft. filled loosely with poly fill for the Infinity 1060w install. At the same amp and head unit settings as used with the TS-SWX251 the Infinity was about twice as loud and just as clean. They both take up about the same amount of space.

Love It!!

I just had this installed in my Trailblazer yesterday and I must say that I love it!! It is paired with Polk DB6501's in the front and DB651 in the rear with a Kenwood KAC7005PS and a Pioneer 8400BH. This sub rounds out the sound system nicely and will bump when pushed. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a tight musical bass speaker. I ma very impressed with the sound from this little package. I have no complaints with it at all.

Hidden from thieves

This is an all around good shallow sub. I have an king cab Frontier so I wanted something that wouldn't take up all the space behind my seat in case I needed to carry something or someone. Because it faces down, it is hidden and just looks like a regular black box to people looking to steal sound systems. It is not overwhelming at lower volumes, but has no problem shaking mirrors when turned up. Bass is very clean

Pioneer+Kenwood

This is a Great combo. It sounds good in my Toyota Tundra. The subwoofer, and the amp fit under the back seat.

great product

great price! great product that's way under rated I recommend for any system that need a amp

Great amp

This amp has a good amount of power, gets the job done.

My great amp

I purchased this amp a few months ago and I also bought the three year warranty. This amp has the perfect amount of power for my single Kicker comp 12. I have ran the amp in extreme heat and freezing cold and it has never shut down. This amp is PERFECT! I even had it on full blast during my drive home from maryland with things resting on it. It was too hot to touch, but it was still running! GREAT DEAL!

worth the money

For the price it's great! I wanted something that would knock but not flip the car over beside me at the stop light. Perfect for me.

Gets the job done

I have this amp in an icechest radio pushing a set of Polk db691's. It has all the power I need and even sealed in a cooler, it never overheats. It is small and lightweight but powerful enough to rock.

Great value!

This sub sounds wonderful in the back of my 2008 Jeep Wrangler and takes up very little space. The low profile keeps it out of site when the top is off the jeep too!

gr8 and clear bass

hits harder than i expected...amplified with boss cer.250 gr8 performace with all music genres...i recommend this for any one who look to balance between trunk space and bass power

Perfect

Works great in my regular cab pickup. Like the fact it's enclosed already and is not bulky looking. Highly recommended

nice sub

Very happy with this sub...small fits under my 2000 silverados back seat perfectly. Give nice full sound. Its not like having a couple of 12s but it was more than expected.

pioneer subwoofer and box

This is a great subwoofer and matched box. It works great in my tundra. Good clean base. It takes awhile for the music to loosen up the surrounds. The more you play it the better it sounds.

Not a bad amp for the money

I bought this as a package for my car, I already had an MTX amp and sub but they took up too much space. I tried the old MTX with the sub and then this amp with the sub. The MTX I know was way under rated when I bought it and so is this amp. The design is nice and it works well for what I am using it for.

Not bad for the space

This sub works nicely in confined spaces, compared to my wife's solobaric it's weak, but that's not what the intent of this product is. The sound is nice and a rich deep bass was added to my car with this and it does not take up very much space at all.

I would recommend this for anyone short on space looking to just add more bass to a system.

Nice!

Great little amp nice power and price for powering single 10" sub.

Best little amp i have ever owned.

I bought this amp because i own 2 91 toyota mr2's and needed a discrete amp that fits inside the rear glove box on the passenger side. this amp actually fits flat on the floor and i found a place local to me that sold me 2 for $45 each. i have them running 1 10" 4ohm dual voice coil infinity reference sub each in .7cft sealed enclosures and they hit hard enough to rattle my tools off the roof of the car while i was working on it. honestly i wasn't going for that much bass so i had to turn it down some but it was more than capable of pushing it. i ran it at its max potential for a few hours before i got tired of the bass and turned it down.

amazing amp fpr size and watts

PLEASE do NOT underestimate this amp it says 350 watts but thats true power. Despite its size this amp pushes my 2 12's harder then my friends 1000watt amp. This amp is a great one to start with you will be heard!!

Impressed

I installed this in an '01 Maxima. It is more than enough bass to shake the car. Paired this with a Rockford Fosgate amp. The bass is clean and hard hitting. That is with the PLC halfway. No need to have it all the way up. Money well spent!

Good value for the money

I primarily bought this amp because of the higher end frequency response, to drive a bank of piezo drivers through a crossover. So far it has not disappointed me and is working well in this application.

Excellent product

I am very pleased with the product. I installed the sub behind the right seat in my wifes slk230 and it sounds increadible paired with an MTX300W RMS sub amp. The shallow footprint of the box allowed for plenty of leg room and the box is of sturdy built quality and sealed well for tight bass response. I added a set of Kicker separates for the doors that enhance the sound.

pretty decent

This amp is solid, i had the older model and now this one. Same power and features, this one looks nicer. Pounds a single 10 well. Set crossover is limiting though.

Great radio

We are very happy with this amplifier. It has good sound and features.

Awesome

This amp is nearly perfect for the price. Using it on a pair of Pioneer TS-A6994R's and it's a perfect match. The only thing wrong with it is the spade terminals for power and ground.

Coaxial Speakers right for the job

This product is great to use on grill speakers. I have them at 4ohms 60w and have the gain all the way up. Doesn't make them distorted, it's just right for polk audio coaxial 6-1/2" speaker. Super great job well done!! Loudest range hear you from a block away maybe two blocks.

The Best

Installed in 2002 Silverado sounds great to much sometimes just thumps away only needed one box wow!

Good Sub for price

I bought this box for my 2011 Ford Supercrew. I needed something that was small enough to fit under the backseat and not be seen from the outside. The box blends well with the black carpet I have, and even with my very cheap amp, this sub sounds great. It really fills the entire truck up with great sounding bass, and as far durability goes, I lift up the seat and let my pitbull ride in the back, and he stomps all over it and stands on it to see out the window, and the box just has some scratches in it and nothing else. Ive had a couple different underseat subs, and if I had to buy another one for some reason, it would be this one.

awesome product

This subwoofer, enclosure, amp and kit worked flawlessly for an install unto my 05 Tacoma access cab. The enclosure fits flush on the floor behind the seat and takes up nearly no space. The amp hides nicely under the seat and the wiring was top notch. The overall sound quality was excellent as a addition to my stock system and gave it a nice deep thump that is not overpowering. The only drawback to the amp is it doesn't have and external bass control unit for easy adjustment. But a great product for a great price and sonic shipped really fast

Nice Subwoofer

I bought this set up separately and wish I had did my shopping a bit better. I have the sub and the kenwood amp and it rocks. I love it. Thought about buying an extra subwoofer for my HHR but there is no need. Can't wait to go to work today to rock out to my new tunes!

blew me away!

First of all, I got free shipping with this and it got here in 2 days, in mid December! I was very pleased with that. I was a little nervous how this was going to sound in my SUV at first. It was replacing a 12" forward facing sub. When i got everything hooked up I was amazed how good it sounded. Way better than my 12. It sounds very clean and crisp. I couldn't be happier.
The only down i see with this is how short it is. the sub was coming awfully close to the floor when i had it cranked up. but it was an easy fix!

Pioneer ts-swx251

Exceeded my expectations for the size of it!!!!!great sub!!!

Good value

I was skeptical at first because of the low cost. It is powering 2 JBL door speakers and have not had any problems at all. No overheating or anything. Well worth the price, I might just buy another for keepsake.

kenwoodkac1502s

A very good product for the price. Would recommend to a friend.

Great AMP!!!

Installed with a JBL 8" sub to get a little more sound in my Dodge Ram 2500. Sounds great.

Great Amp

doesn't get hot, powers the pioneer sub perfectly. Great for a smaller system that won't kill your ears but will provide clean bass.

Good deal!

Great speaker. Installed in 2002 Chevy Silverado with Kenwood amp. Just thumps away.

KENWOOD KAC-1502S

So far, I have just been playing with this amp out in my garage. I am using it on my motorcycle in a saddlebag. I bought the Kicker KS40 4" speakers. I have them in PVC 3" to 4" elbows with a spacer in between. Will mount that up on the handlebars. I am using a MP3 player for the music. It seems to make those 4" speakers rock. I have yet to mount everything up correctly (correct sized wires/etc.). But, so far, so good. Will try to reply again once it's all hooked up properly. Unsure of the durability, for I have yet to see it work for more than a song or two out in the garage.

awsome amp

bought this amp to put in my wifes car with one pioneer 10 had it installed today an it booms the 10 is in a sealed box 1cb ft of air space she loves it

Kanwood amp

The amp has a great output and I like the quality very much.

Such a good buy for the money!

This will be my 3rd Kenwood amp, and this thing being so small, it packs such a clean and undistorted power band! The only issue I've had with it, is if you're gonna use the Speaker level inputs, make sure the ground pin is literally grounded to the car. Had a difficult time finding a common ground instead of a floating ground. Once I did that, the signal sounded great! Pushing a pair of 6x8's at 4ohm and it will make my ears bleed! Kenwood always makes a quality product, and this doesn't disappoint. 50 bucks for a whole lot of bang = totally worth it. Would buy another for sure!

Small Package, Great Amp

Purchased this amp to drive a pair of 4x6 and a set of 5 1/4" Component Infinity Reference sets, I have them wired for 2ohm and this little amp does a wonderful job at pushing them. Nice small package fit under the seat of my girlfriends VW Cabriolet with no problems. Only thing is with design, why did they put the positive and ground terminals RIGHT next to each other, but not an issue just wire neatly. And for the price? Its a kenwood, not a no name!

Good Subwoofer

If you like good clean bass, then this speaker nails it. It fits nicely in my truck and pounds out good sound.

just what you migjt expect...maybe better

This is a decent sub. It plays best facing the rear. I have a sedan and tried it facing front, down and up... but like I said rear facing is best. Better sounding over time. I use an MTX amp to push it. It definitely makes a huge difference from factory. But not going to rock your neighborhood. Good overall. But only if you're tight for space. Otherwise get a regular sub and sealed or ported box.

Big sound from a small space!

I bought this sub because of its small size. It sits in the back of a small hatchback. I was originally worried that 200w rms would not be enough but it is more than enough for my taste. Dont expect earth shattering volume, but if you want to round out your system with little space this is a great choice.

Perfect

Not going to shake your car to the ground...but it sounds clean and is a great addition to your stereo.

Great Sub for Tight Spaces

I have a 2003 Mustang GT and this small unit fits great in the trunk. Just enough bass to round out my system. Not overpowering which is exactly what I wanted. Didn't want a large box taking up the entire trunk. Built a small shelf around the unit to mount my Amp. Great price at Sonic!

Clean bass, simple install

Nice clean bass with a slightly stiffer response. Can handle the rated power well without sounding overloaded. Cabinet design makes install easy and provides the correct air cushion for operation. As all subs go, bass can get muddy when hiding behind or under something that is not acoustically transparent. A good value too.

Pretty good

It is a really great amp for the price it can power just about any sub well

Great Buy!

Great little Amp for the price. Pushes my 2 KFC-W112S speakers excellent.

Good Price

Overall the kit had a good price but the amplifier could've had more watts. I had to buy another amplifier to use with the subs. The kenwood amp that comes with this is for speakers not subwoofers. I also had a problem with the cables. They burned out even with professional installation.

Kenwood KAC-1502S

I bought one of these to push my Rockford Fosgate 8" subwoofer and i couldn't be more impressed, amazing combo, and it looks cool.

Great buy!

I bought one of these to put in the storage compartment of our 2007 Santa Fe as we wanted all gear stowed so we could continue to use the back of the truck for transport.

I had really tight dimensions to adhere to as we already have an amp in the storage compartment and the clearance is only around 7". This baby fit perfectly and is running off a Cerwin Vega Stealth 220 amp and sounds awesome.

Very impressive and if you're looking for a decent sub that is easily hidden or stowed, this is it!!

well alright

Well i got bored yesterday and hooked it up to my 12" Pioneer and I usually have a crunch 1k on it but this little amp puts that one to shame. Buy this amp.

Could not be happier

If it wasn't such a great price it would still be a great value!

gud sub & box for a good price!

Great value! Little bit delay on my shiping cuz it was back order when i ordered it, but it was neat & new. Was happy with it. Can shake my friends rav4. It fits under the trunk storage. :)

GOOD BARGAIN

I use it with two infinity speakers in my fleetwood and it sounds very good. After six months the only complaints i had were from people sitting in the back when i pump the speakers.

The car guy

Excellent amp I did not think this amp wouldd pound my rockford fosgate sub but man was I wrong. I am very happy with this amp installed in a Chevy crew cab and it fills the truck with nice bass. Would also like to say that SonicEletronix rocks. Great prices and great service.

Huge Difference

Great sound for the value. Without this subwoofer the stereo sounded tinny and weak. Added rich, clear sound. The box has a great look, too.

Excellent Buy

Pioneer designed this sub & enclosure for those of us with very limited space. I bought one for under the rear seat of my Tundra double cab, and it was a perfect fit. The depth and pressure of the bass was exceptional considering it's a small shallow mount sub with a small amount of air space. The appearance is very basic, but that's not why you buy an under seat sub. The construction is as good as any custom or store bought enclosure, with heavy duty gold plated connections. I'd recommend an amp that meets at least the minimum rms wattage of the sub (200w) to get the full sound this sub is capable of. I give it 4.5 stars, and for the money, it's gonna be hard to find a better value.

GOOD POWER OUTPUT! CLEAN!

Good power output! Clean!

Hard hitter.

I hooked this to a GM-7500M in the trunk of an old Plymouth and didn't really notice anything because my Pioneer 6x9s hooked to another amp were really putting out the bass too. I fastened it to the brace on the back of the rear seat and then I could feel how hard this thing hits. ZZ TOP cd makes this speaker move the seat fabric.

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.

Solid amp, cool temp.

I'm running my 2 front and 2 rear door speakers in parallel off the 2 channels respectively and the amp handles them just fine. Granted this amp is probably meant for sub(s), given the low pass filter, but it's cheap and works fine for the speakers. Not a boatload of power for a parallel setup either, but unless you want your ears to bleed while still driving 90mph in a top-down convertible, it's more than enough power. Good crisp, clear and bright sound. Amp definitely gets warm with continuous use but not hot and never overheats. Overall a pretty great buy.

awesome amp

The power of this amp is so awesome and the sound it gives your speakers is great. Lots of power for a lil money.

Great Value; Versatile

Used it to power an add-on subwoofer to a stock system. Easy hook-up with speaker level input. Nice, clean sound powering a polk DB 840.

awesome shallow woofer

This shallow woofer fits perfectly in the small space of my 3000GT providing clean and clear bass. Love it

great value and name brand

Gave my stereo that little extra that it needed.

good amp

This is a great amp to run my rear components. Thinking of buying one for front speakers.

Pioneer TS-SWX251 sub

Wow! Even the stereo shop that wired this to my amp was blown away. I am running this in my 2011 Toyota Tundra doublecab under the back seats and it sounds awesome. I am using a Sundstream 5 channel amp so it has tons of power to it and it truly delivers. I would recommend this to anyone. You won't be disappointed!

great quality and works as designed

By RICK on October 29, 2024 Verified purchase

Quality kit

Wiring is nice, not too much or too little insulation and the kit contained basically everything needed for the job aside from the hex key tool which would've been a nice little bonus tool to include in there. Would overall recommend

By Alexander on July 1, 2024 Verified purchase

Powerful

This amp is more than I expected for 150 rms. I feel it pushing more witch is great. I got it with a boston G1 sub in a custom box under the seat of my girls 92 silverado ext cab and It really puts that missing boom in there.This amp is barely bigger than a dvd case. Sonic recomends an 8g wire kit but if u get a true size 10g kit that works just fine too but thats up to you. Anyway if your thinking of getting this for a sub or door speakers don't hesitate.

Great value

Did what it was supposed to do.

By Jack on March 2, 2025 Verified purchase

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.

By Laz on March 16, 2026 Verified purchase

Awesome

It makes installation a breeze. It leaves a clean install.

By Matt on June 27, 2024 Verified purchase

Just ok but nothing special here

I used this bridged on my JL Audio W3V3 and it was underwhelming at best. Put back on my 25 year only Alpine twoo channel amp rated for the same power with the same 25 amp fuse and that subwoofer came alive. As they say you get what you pay for.
