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.

Incredible power in a small package

This amp is great it is extremely small definetly puts out 300 if not more. And does not get hot maybe a little warm but that's about it. The only complaint is the gloss finish it is easy to scratch other than that amazing.

By Steffan on December 31, 2014 Verified purchase

What a great product.

I bought this to power my JL Audio compact 10" woofer. I wanted a small amp so I could mount it under the dash. I also have an MVPA4 under my dash. They both fit and sound great. I have yet to get it warm. The gain is at about 3/4 now. I could not be happier. NVX should be commended.

amazed

I bought this to put in my wife's 06 Jeep Liberty to power an alpine type r 12 2 ohm in the back. I used 8 gauge wire and when i fired it up for the first time I was blown away, shocked, and happy all at the same time. I had to turn the subwoofer output all the way down on the cd player to make it manageable. I was able to mount it behind the center console on the transmission hump (under the ac controls) and only needed to run speaker wire to the back. Makes for a nice clean installation.
The only con is that the terminals are small. Its hard to find an 8 gauge terminal that will fit in the space provided and the price is kinda high for 300 watts.
Nonetheless, the clean installation (hidden amp) is perfect and the volume is every bit of 300 watts RMS.

An absolute trip.

How an amp this small can power my comp rt 8" sub is crazy. the thing is as big or as small as the crossover on my kicker components. way to go nvx and thank u sonic for helping me choose it.

By Edson on December 18, 2013 Verified purchase

Powers my sub just fine.

I felt compelled to write this review after reading the other one. I have it hooked up to the XQW104 wired at 2 ohms and it pushes 300W. I got it installed in Valencia with Allyn and he tested it with their amp dyno and it puts out every bit of 300W RMS. The sub sounds great, the amp is ridiculously tiny. To even get 100W RMS would be crazy and this thing pushes wayyyy more than that.

Oh and I'm NOT sure why you would use this on FULL-RANGE speakers anyways given it only has a LPF. Of course it will sound like a "tunnel" since you will not get any frequencies above 400Hz.

Speechless

I have this amp paired with a NVX NSW124 along with all OFC NVX wiring kit and NVX bass reconstructor in a 2013 scion tc Release Series, and boy does she bang. I was told that I have two 12" inch subs and when I say I'm only running one 12 I was that if it is one sub it's at least one 18 inch. If you have limited space or are like me want to keep enough space In your cargo area to travel this is the ultimate set up! BTW if you are going to use the factory head unit like I did, although it has RCA outputs you will still need to get a line driver, it mad a night and day difference, I went with the Axxess AX-LDBK

Great amplifier!

An amp should be small for it's output, sound great and not get hot. This one does all that. Its size allowed me to install it and an MVPA4 under my instrument panel (2011 F150). They power all of my speakers and my JL 10TW3-D4. Locating the amps in the instrument panel GREATLY simplifies my wiring.

MVPA1

This product needs more power out put. It doesn't push enough power to get clear audio for 2 speakers. On a new pair of JL audio 6 inch speakers with the volume turned up to the max it sounds as if you are in a tunnel instead of a concert.

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.

Great amp!

Installed it in my motorcycle to run subs only and it does a great job! Small size made it easy to mount without taking up too much storage space.

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!

Perfect size!

I installed this micro amp on my 6 1/2" micro sub box by jl audio in the back of my Jetta sportwagon. The size of the amp allowed me to mount it directly to the top of the ported box without covering the port. This outfit has more power than the sub runs on allowing my to operate without maximum settings and gives great definition to the low end harmonics within the passenger compartment. I recommend considering this amp if your needs include quality sound without compromising room. Great for trucks and wagons. A remote bass boost knob is the only feature this amp is missing.

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 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.

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

Small size, really big power!

Bought this little amp cause space was a big issue, did a lot of research and made my mind up on getting this one. It never gets hot and a very clear signal, right now I have it powering a ported JL W3 6.5" turned down and friends think I have a 12" in my truck and are blown away with my setup.

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..

Nice small amp

Seems to be working great, very compact, it needed to fit in a very small area, this was the only one I found that would fit.

Great product for price!

Plenty of wire, all connectors were there. The flexible wire makes running it easy.

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!

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!

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.

But didn’t need it in the bundle. Good price for both though!!

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.

Awesome Amp

I have this paired with a now discontinued NVX 10" 3" magnet sub that takes 500W RMS and it delivers. It hits just like my 12" NVX I have in another car and it is clear.
Amp allows plenty of adjustibility and everything you can ask from an amp.
Plus it is so small!
My only complaint is the face of it looked scratched and used already.

Everything ya need!

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

Perfect Amp

I was looking for an amp that was small, but could provide enough clean power to run 2 JL Audio 10 inch subs when I ran across this unit. At first I was a little apprehensive, but I figured what do I have to lose. When it arrived I was amazed at how small it really was. Took me about 45 mins to install since I already had all the wiring run prior to receiving it. From the moment I turned it on I was amazed at how much power it provided. Not just power, but clean efficient power. Well worth the money spent and in fact I purchased the 4 channel amp to power my mids and highs. I was equally impressed with that amp as well. I definitely recommend these amps to anyone looking for a compact amp with plenty of power.

Oh and to the person that said this amp "Sounded like he was in tunnel instead of a concert", why in the hell would you hook a mono amp to a pair of speakers? Common sense should tell you that's not correct.

Dang.

When I ordered this enclosure I was hesitant to buy just one since I'm used to using 2 12's in a ported box. But when I hooked it up to my MB quart 1:400 amp I was amazed. For its size Ive never heard anything quite like it. It hits all the notes with ease and has no trouble filling up a small truck cab whatsoever. Oh and the price for it is wonderful!

Exceptional Small Amp

Powering a 2 ohm 8” sub. Tons of power. Easy to configure. I really can’t believe how small it is. Very easy to conceal.

Great Little Amp

I have a compact car and did not have a lot of room for a big amp. This amp fit perfectly under my dash. Sound is great also. I would definitely recommend this amp.

By Bradley on October 23, 2017 Verified purchase

great value

great amp small and compact a lot of boom for a small price

Great Value, Same as Focal FD 1.350 for 1/3 the price

I suspect that this item is the same OEM as the Focal FD 1.350 amp that you can buy at crutchfield for a lot more. The fuses, pots, and inputs are in the exact same locations and look the same. Save a ton and get this one instead.

Great amp.

Had issues with a different amp ( not purchased here ) that was the wrong application. After talking to John my salesman briefly ,he suggested a winning combination. This amp was part of it. Its a great motorcycle amp and look forward to many happy listening miles. Thanks again.

Under rated contender

Installed this behind the screen of a 16’ cherokee trailhawk hooked up to a sundown sa-8 v.3 in a ported box. Unbelievable how much this puts out! Has been in the dash for 2yrs running great and have since tried different subs, all of which the tiny guy had no issues pushing. Highly recommended!!

Not a bad little amp.

Although this is a very little amp it make some very big power. It seems to run very cool and can be mounted just about anywhere. I have it powering just a single dual voice coil 12 and it does the job very well. No complaints so far. I like the adjustments available on the amp. You usually don't get a bass boost adjustment on larger amps.

The only problem with this amp is maybe the terminals are all very small. Although this is to be expected, it should be mentioned because you will have to make some accommodations for this when hooking up large power and ground wires to it.

Overall though I'm very happy with the amp and would recommend it if mounting size is a concern n your install.

By steven on January 3, 2018 Verified purchase

awesome tiny amp

it has all the power it claims + and can do 2 ohms it doesnt seem to get even warm let alone hot like a traditional amp I was worried about noise but it sounds much better/clearer than the rockford fosgate I was using However when turned off there is some 'white noise and the occasional low pop' can live with that because I didnt think I could find a better amp than what I had but so far I have been quite impressed!
Durability is simply IDK havent had it long enough.

By Jeffrey on June 17, 2017 Verified purchase

Good Amp

I would recommend for the size and price, the only complaint is the power and amp terminals a very small and would be better if they were bigger

Tiny size that packs a punch!

I was calling to order an Alpine amp and was worried about the size. I wanted to power one 12" sub but wanted to hide the amp. I was led to this amp by my product specialist, he has one in his car. I installed this for my son on Christmas Day and it seems to be working well. It is powering an Infinity 12" sub in a factory ported enclosure.

By Randy on December 30, 2016 Verified purchase

Great little amp!

Pleasantly surprised by this amp... pumps a lot of power, and doesn't get hot while doing it.
does all it says and then some... am actually thinking of getting its partner the 4 channel one.
its so small you can fit four or even six of them under the passenger seat

The little amp that could

This is a great amp when you want plenty of power, but don't want to take up a bunch of space to get it.
I have it powering my 500W RMS NVX XQW104 and it absolutely works great.
The adjustments are standard and work well, the versatility in inputs is great between the RCA's or speaker wires.

This thing is a small beast and it fits perfectly just about anywhere.

By Justin on June 29, 2016 Verified purchase

Surprising little amp.

I have this amp in the back of a 2000 Corvette. I like to maximize my space, and not have amps and subs intruding into cargo areas. So between this amp, a stealth box, and a JL sub. I have a nice tucked away package.

This amp hid quite well. I will say on my head unit (XDC-500, (not the 599)), I have to turn the Sub gain all the way up, but from there the amp blends and plays wonderfully. I can turn my system up to the point it hurts, and the little amp is still just pounding away. I have gone away from the "trying to induce bowel movements with bass" days of a my youth, and now just want the music to sound well rounded, and this fits the bill perfectly. Good thump, but I wouldnt recommend to those still trying to let everyone on the block know they've got a system.

By Daryl on June 29, 2016 Verified purchase

Awesome Compact Amp!

Bought this when replacing the factory sub/amp in my 2012 Escape. This fit right in place of the factory amp. Its pushing a 8" shallow mount Pioneer sub with 4ohm impedence in the factory plastic box. This puts out some serious power, I only have the gained turned up about halfway and the sub thumps. Would probably hit even harder with a 2ohm impedence. I was skeptical due to its size, but its awesome. Great power, great value especially if you're short on space.

great product

This product is very small, but has a big sound. Very impressive for such a small device.

Fits under the seat of my 04 Subaru Impreza STi

I like that this fits under the passenger seat and frees up trunk space. The amp is under the drivers seat. This sub gives a nice full sound when the crossover is set to 120HZ and lower. I then cut 120HZ and above from the door speakers. Not bad at all for the price.

Perfect for a hatchback

Bought this to fill in the lows for my stock stereo. This does the job! Paired up with an MTX 300w class D amp and I'm a happy camper.

New York

Purchased two of these for my Street Glide to run two shallow dual 4ohm 8 inch subs wired to 2 ohms a piece. Powers them at 476 RMS in the saddlebags and they sound great. Small enough to hide in the saddlebags but very powerful.

By New York on July 29, 2017 Verified purchase

EXCELLENT pRODUCT

IT WAS THE RIGHT TYPE OF MINI AMP FOR ME AND WHERE I NEEDED TO PUT IT ESPECIALLY WITH THE POWER THAT IT PUTS OUT!

Decent power in a little package...

First and foremost, ordering was bit easier than other products I've ordered from Sonic Electronix in the past. That being said, onto the product.

The size versus output ratio associated with this amplifier is outstanding. I used the NVX MVPA1 to replace my MTX TNA251 amplifier. It is currently powering my 2 12' MTX terminator subwoofers at 2ohms.

Given the size of this amplifier, it can be mounted virtually anywhere. I elected to mount mine on the underside of my trunk deck.

The only negative I can find with this amplifier, because it is so small, there is limited space for wiring. I elected t use terminals to connect my wiring to my amplifier. 8ga. Terminals are far to large to be properly installed with the receptacle on the amplifier.

Given the phase, gain, and frequency, as well as bass boost (wasn't used) adjustments, tuning the amplifier is a piece of cake.

I would strongly suggest this amplifier to someone who needs an affordable amp, with great output for it's size.

Rocking little amp

Sits nicely under the dash of my jeep and powers myn8 inch sub perfectly

Only Specific for those who want it. Still one heck of a little amp!

Now, Before I start, it is just my opinion and mine alone.

The pa1, where to begin. I was unsure of this little beast of an amp when I first ordered it. Saw some test videos and really liked what i saw/heard. Waited for it to come in, shipping was fast. . . and it was heavy. Quality right there. I opened the box and checked the unit. It was in its plastic bags and everything was there. Good, I pulled the plastic bag off the amp and checked it. I was not happy about its first appearance, It had Light scratches everywhere and the protective plastic was off the unit. I pulled the protective clip that covered the wire screwdowns and two were missing from the speaker connections. They were sitting in the bag. Everything else was fine. The Books, screws, wires, and connectors look as they were never used. Just the amp.

Installation was a breeze, as all Amp installs I do. That was until I connected the High Amp connector. Clipped right in but moving the wires around, the connector comes right out of the socket. The Female 4 pin connecter's tab that the male end clips to was broken off. Great.

Ok, So when I said that it is specific for those who want it. It was in my case. I drive a 2003 Forester XT with the Stock, Premium sound. 2x Components, 2x Two ways, and a stock 6x9 mid-woofer. I wanted nothing changed to the stock system save for adding an aftermarket sub to "Enhance" the abysmal 70 watt mid-woofer. Connections were easy, Tap into the mid-woofer wire and run to the amp's High connection. Done and done.

Now here is the killer part folks. I Started the car, lowered the bass on the head unit to +2 - +3 and started to tune the amp. PROBLEM! Every time the subwoofer hit a heavy note or "Burped" It sent static through the whole Radio. No matter how clear the station was, CD used, or AUX selected. Added Ferrites To the Power wire. Somewhat clearer, Added to Remote, clearer, added to High imputs, Clearer but not enough. So keeping the setting where the amp was set, It slowly started to go away. Two weeks in, It was gone. That made me happy so i turned the power up on the amp. It came back within the hour.

Amp has to stay at 40% power with the boost at 6db+. Turning it up higher caused the static to come back. I do not know if it is the amplifier causing the problem but a test with an old walmart 600watt sparkler amp worked fine with the same connection setup.

I have tried Noise Isolators, Removing the LED headlamps{also cause alot of static in radio until Electrolytic resistors were installed}, Moving Ground, Positive, and remote and still got the same issues. It is currently in use still but the issue is not resolved.

Once again, as stated. It is my experience and my opinion with this amp. Many people LOVE this amp because it has more power than what is stated. Almost 35% more in fact. And the sheer size alone blows people away because of its power. It is just that there has to be a "Clean" install for this product to work competently. A stock setup will introduce too much interferance because of aged components and because of that, it should be recommended that you, again, do a clean install or use it to upgrade a stock Amp only in the newer cars.

But This here is the final nail in the coffin for me on the amp, The price. It IS cheap for the technology and sheer size but for someone like me who wanted a cheap alternative to keeping a stock clean system. The Underseat Powered subwoofers are by far more bang for your buck. Take the SSL all in one unit. 126$ for 1200 watt amp and 10inch shallow or the 8inch 600 watt unit for 95$. . . you know, for comparison.

Stay classy everyone and get your "Thump" on.

Terrific bass! Don't judge it by its size!

I own a single cab 2003 Ford Ranger Edge, and this Kicker sub fits perfectly behind my center console and driver's seat. More importantly, it sounds great and didn't cost me a lot of money! If you don't have a lot of space in your vehicle, this is definitely the way to go.

I have the sub hooked up to a Kicker CX 300.1 amp, and the pass through on my Kenwood stereo set to 85 Hz. You can definitely feel the bass, and the sub will rattle your rear view mirror.

Very pleased

Very pleased with this unit
I have had a few large systems 12" Kenwoods, Kickers, ect..
but I got sick of not having my back seat in my 2004 Nissan Frontier
Soo I grabbed one of these because it was the only box I could find that would fit behind the seat
this unit is very sturdy and has thick low end
but if you are looking for a chest thump... go bigger

Small, but solid Sub

Great little sub. Nice solid bass - deep, clean & tight. Great value.

Fits in tight spots!

Perfect sub to add some bump to your car without sacrificing space. Fits perfectly under my back seat.

Big Sound from a Tissue Box-Sized Package!

This unit is great! It fit under the trunk floor so it's completely hidden and amped with 300 watts it is enough to really thump. It's nowhere near the chest-thumping power of a 12" per se, but it was more than enough to shake the mirrors and really provide some great low-end.

Awesome amp!!!

Awesome little package!!! Great sound for a 8" woofer. Its definitely not a JL or anything, but for the price I was surprised. It fits perfectly under the seat of my extended cab F250, I haven't missed the room since sacrificing it 3 weeks ago. I have this mated with a Rockford Fosgate Prime 250w x1 @ 2ohm and it sounds pretty good.

My guts aren't shaking, but there is a very noticeable difference that compliment the 6x8s in the doors. I am thinking about ordering a second one for the wife's mini-van because it is very compact and safe for the kiddies delicate hearing.

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.

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

Great value

Did what it was supposed to do.

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.

Small and powerful

It's been several years since my purchase, but this little amp is quite powerful for its size. It was powering a SubSolutions bandpass sub and did it perfectly.

Awesome

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