Good buy

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

good product

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

Great!

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

Nice install kit!

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

good product

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

Great kit for the money

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

Great value..

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

Good kit

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

It's an amp kit

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

Great produ Great price

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

First timers

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

good kit

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

amp kit

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

Bang for the buck!

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

Awesome install kit

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

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

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

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

What more could I ask for?

Good quality, could've been longer.

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

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

A+

This kit is awesome for the $. quality product.

works just fine

Not the nicest cables however for my budget the work wonderfully

cheapish

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

good kit

Comes with everything you need.

these kits rock

Price was right and the quality was just as good.

very nice kit

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

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

it works well

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

Great Value!

More value in this than the price you pay!

great product

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

Thinner than I thought it would be

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

AK8 install kit

I would definitely recommend this install kit!

The InstallBay AK8

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

Perfect for the application

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

Great product for the price

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

Tiny

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

Indecisive? Buy them!

First impression, good packaging, everything from this site is. Tearing open the box full of packing peanuts reveals the gems. Standard kicker quality, everything basic included to install. If you don't have a mounting solution, you will probably need more screws than provided. (Wire connectors are included) Once installed the system is very powerful, I haven't seen any other speaker with the same power for the price. Paired up with my Kicker 6x9s, they will hurt the ears at high volume without haptic feedback, and provide enough bass to go without a subwoofer, at least for some. 10/10 would buy again, very cheap 3 year warranty is offered, BUY IT it's good if you're constantly playing at high volume. No matter the product, 3 years of hard abuse will have anything worn down. 30 days and the speakers are still running like new. Can't really think of any negatives... Buy it!

good product

Really stops the rattling that comes from having the punch from the kiker speakers i have installed in the doors of my car.

Easy to use and apply

I used this product in my rear component speakers (Alpines) for the mid-range woofers in the doors to shield against vibration and they do a good job and the speakers sound great for it!

Cache CSM

These came in a package deal from Sonic
with JBL GTO series speakers one of the decisions why I bought the GTO speakers, easy to use. Currently installing the sound system but having used similar products before these will make a good speaker sound better.

Great product

Worked good, stopped the rattling. Deeper bass.

Speakers

These speakers are miles ahead of the ds series from kicker very loud and clear. Running them on an amp

meh

Loud and clear sound but when playing something with a lot of bass they pop, and distort like crazy. would recommend to get a crossover to remove base frequencies.

Kicker's name says it all

I bought these along with some 6x9 kickers for the rear. I usually just fade about 70% of the sound to the back because of the acoustics in my car. But when I messed with the eq settings, I have to say these speakers are good. You can run just these and still have that thump that kicker seems to always have. I would recommend these door speakers to anyone.

Great item

Great speakers. Best place to shop online.

good stuff!

I bought this in a combo package that Sonic put together with a set of hifonics components, the zxi65c. i liked it, i havent heard any rattling from my speakers. works well, i recommend it.

Wow great buy

These are a great set of components don't distort have excellent mids and highs would recommend to anyone into good name brand audio quality. Kicker has done it again for 2011

Sounds Great!

I installed the Dead Shield Sound Dampening Material under all 4 of the speakers I replaced in my truck and the stereo system sounds great, better than I expected.

Pretty Solid Speakers

Great sound, made the mistake of turning them up too loud while i didn't have my back speakers on and blew one of them slightly. But they are great all around, solid bass, clear highs. No complaints!

kicker

bought these speakers 6 months ago, and 1 set is already blown, the price were great, i guess i got a bad pair, and no i don't blast my music

Great value

These speakers sound great in my S10. I have them pushed by a 65w RMS per channel Kenwood amp. And they get loud and clear and definitely keep up with my 2 10" Memphis subs. Great Speakers!!!

TRUST ME!!

I spent 3 weeks researching 6.5" speakers for my ridgeline truck. I checked various websites and read reviews also watched several youtube videos on different products. I can say that these speakers do what they say they will do. The clarity i have with these speakers met all of my expectations. I have the components also for the front. I did buy an amp to go with this item (diamond300) i got that from my installer even though i had the kicker amp in mind. I have a pioneer nav z120 and all i have to do is turn the volume up to 20 (goes to 40) to rock out!! And just to let you know for the sub in my truck i bought an 8 inch shallow by pioneer which suits all of my bass needs. It will surprise you!!! Im satisfied!

Great affordable kit

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

Best Amp Kit Around

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

Overall, Kickin'!

These babies doing SO much better than the stock speakers that were in my wifes Camry. But thats to be expected. They have a good thump to them, and decent sonic range and clarity. They are being run off an aftermarket Sony HU with no addl. amp, but respond nicely depending on the source (CD or USB sound best). It was a bit of a challenge fitting these to the front doors of a ' 96 Camry. A little cutting and drilling was necessary, but made it work. I'd recommend them, but not for a novice if it's not a seamless fit.

Excellent mids/highs

Sounds like i wanted. Paired with a pine deck w/o amp right now, won't need an amp if your budgetin.

Overrated

The sound quality coming from these are great. Much better than my stock speakers. however they are way overrated. I'd say these out around 30 watts.. They bottom out very quickly with bass noes which can lead to them getting blown quickly.

So if sound quality is you're thing i'd go for these. If it's loudness then go with something else.

Decent Product

They are decent speakers for the price. Not quite as loud as I wanted.

Good price

It had everything I needed to hook up my amp

Great price.

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

They were okay

The speakers are good for bass, but if you turn the volume up with a song with deep bass, they will pop like crazy. But overall, they are good speakers for the money.

Great speakers

I got these for my friend to replace his factory speakers and all i can say is they are worth the money. They have great mids and highs but also have a nice bass response.

High quality

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

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

By garry on January 16, 2018 Verified purchase

Get what you pay for

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

By D on June 12, 2017 Verified purchase

Must have

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

Good Product

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

tweeter

Great set of tweeters

Decent wiring kit

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

By Aimee on April 16, 2020 Verified purchase

Great Value

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

By Anonymous on November 27, 2019 Verified purchase

Perfect kit

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

Good bang for the buck

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

By Tonster on October 31, 2017 Verified purchase

Prefect for me

Excellent product and great performance from it great purchase thanks

Not Bad

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

By Adam on October 18, 2016 Verified purchase

best money i spent on speakers period

These are great, i can turn my volume on full blast and get loud and clear no distortion. Has a great bass for front speakers my windows shake with these alone. The highs are loud and clear the clarity is perfect.

Basic kit on a budget

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

Quality product

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

Good stuff

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

Good low power kit

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

Best bang for buck

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

By Robert on January 25, 2016 Verified purchase

Great kit

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

InstallBay 8 Gauge Amp Kit (AK8)

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

By Thomas on April 26, 2020 Verified purchase

The better option

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

Great deal

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

By Robb on January 6, 2020 Verified purchase

Flexable! went where I needed it to go.

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

Install Bay 8 Ga. Wiring Kit

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

product not arrived

wonder what is the problem to get what I order

By carlos on December 8, 2017 Verified purchase

Great set

great set. small and easy to hide. very easy to distinguish left, right, front, and rear

Worked out great.

Since all the amps were in the rear of my van this cable worked out great saving space and install time. Would defiantly use them again.
