Good Product

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Used this package on my Mazda 6 i Sport and it covered the length of the car fine. Had scrap to splice off onto multiple amps.

This amp can take a beating.

The following review is for XM-ZR1252, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I've got this baby wired to two 10" Kicker CompVR (800W RMS and 1600W MAX combined!). They're wired at 2-ohms in bridge and let me tell you, this amp can push them!

Very nice sub

The following review is for XM-ZR1252, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

First off i must say that shipping took forever. As far as the amp goes its really good. Have it pushing two 12" kicker comps and they're really slamming. I heard bad things about Sony car audio stuff so i took a risk with getting this amp. It was well worth it, gives my subs some clean, rich, deep bass. I would definitely recommended this product!

Great Value

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I shopped around but couldn't beat the deal I got from Sonic Electronix on this Raptor cable set for connecting my subwoofer.

Not a bad amp if you're on a budget.

The following review is for XM-ZR1252, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I bought this amp in May 2009. I mainly got it to power a 10" Kenwood KFC-2511 300W RMS 4-ohm Subwoofer and it overpowered it quite easily in bridged mode. I blew the first one within 24 hours, but I didn't know how to properly tune the amp and went back and exchanged it for a new subwoofer. It then powered two Kenwood KFC-2506's wired in 8-ohms and this this pounds. I'm buying a new amp and subs, so this will go into my other car. Great amp if you're on a budget.

its ok

The following review is for XM-ZR1252, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

i bought this amp somewhere else and i have 2 12" pioneer ts-w302r subs at 2 ohms and this amp pushes them very well, but the down fall is that it gets hot very quickly and it shuts off after playing for 20 minutes and the amp is only turned half way up, so this amp will be ok if you play it for a couple minutes but i would not recommend this amp to anyone.

Great product

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I used this kit for one Alpine Type R 12 with an MRP-M500 amp and it works perfectly! I don't know if it's true 8 gauge, but I'm sure it's not more than 10 gauge. Been using it for a month and haven't had any problems.

Great Amp For me

The following review is for XM-ZR1252, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have used this amp for over three years, I had it pushing two Rockford Fosgate P2s, pushed them verrryy nice, did shut off like twice, After those 12s were stolen :/, I had it pushing a 12" Rockford P3, which is worked soo good, never shut off, or overheated. Now I have it, yes a 800 watt amp, pushing three 12" kicker comps. Pushed very well. It does get hot, but hasn't cut off. Great amp for the price.

Nice low-priced amp

The following review is for XM-ZR1252, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Surprisingly good sound and power quality for a Sony. Bought this amplifier in a hurry before one of my car shows installed it to run my interior speakers that was over a year ago I never had ANY issues with it at all

Wow...what a wiring kit!

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Included in a bundle, you'd expect it to be crap quality. Everything, from the fuse to the wires to the rca's, very nicely done. No complaints at all. Provides clean power to the amp without issue!

good product

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Had everything I needed and then some for installing a 300 W RMS amp and a sub in the trunk of my 08 Civic. Great kit.

Great!

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I challenge you to find a better deal than this kit.
For the price it just can't be beat!
If you're looking for competition stuff look elsewhere.
This kit is just for the DIY installer who needs a clean simply install and its more than enough.

Good amp for money

The following review is for XM-ZR1252, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This was my first amplifier back in December. I have used it in many applications, from a Dual SBP10 that it killed, to two Alpine S-10's in various enclosures, and now high-passed and running my cabin speakers on an 8-ohm load. This amp is a good starter amp; not very good for loud bass though. It takes a ton of abuse though. I have never had it cut off or anything, even when it got hot enough to burn my hand (running slightly dirty signal at 2 ohms per channel back in my clueless days.) I would recommend this amp to anyone looking for a cheap amp for a small sub, or to power your cabin speakers.

(For the record, this amp is now pushing one MB Quart EKA-113 and one Alpine SPS-690A per channel, wired to an 8-ohm load. My guesstimate of current RMS power is 70wX2, giving each speaker 35 watts. It sounds nice and clear, although the high-pass filter doesn't have a steep enough slope for my liking [the speakers still move like mad on the low notes] but no problems thus far.)

Amazing

The following review is for XM-ZR1252, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This amp has a lot of power to be Sony. i have it bridged, with a MMATS p3.0 in a bandpass box and my system bangs. It hits hard and deep, strongly recommended when looking for an amp for a low price.

Decent entry level

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

For an entry level setup, not a bad wiring set. I did have a few problems with the solderless terminals provided and ended up using some I purchased separately and just recently one of the RCA ends has come apart requiring some fine work to remove the bit from the amplifier.

Not enough

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Why is it that amp wiring kits never come with enough ground wire? Besides that I would not recommend this kit. The wire is good quality but if your like me and want a stable supply of power to your amp then I would get a thicker gauge wire. This came with a package deal I bought and the amp is only 400 watt. This is not enough to keep up with the power requirements of the amp. I've done the big 3 upgrade and cleaned up all my connections between the alt, battery and amplifier and am running a 100 amp alternator and still have issues with my amp. The only thing I have not done yet is replaced the amp power cable with a 4 gauge and I am positive that this will correct the power consumption issue.

Not true 8awg

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

If you only have to power a 200 watt amp or so then its okay but if you have a 500 watt amp i would not recommend this kit... True power ratings not your "peak" ratings either.

Great package

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

An all inclusive package of what you need to install a subwoofer/amplifier system to your car/ truck.

Main power cord was almost not long enough for my car. I ran the cables from the driver's side in the engine bay, then through the firewall on the passenger side back through the side floor panels to back behind my seats on the drivers side. (I couldn't run the cable through the driver's side firewall due to the fact that I didn't want to drill it to run the cable).

I recommend you find the path you are going to run the cables and make sure it's going to be long enough before you buy your cables.

Great deal

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Comes with just about everything you need. BUT, if you are running a 4-channel amp to 4 seperate speakers you will most likely need more speaker wire. Other than that its good and gets the job done with no overheating wires or anything.

Decent kit

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I am not sure if this is a true 8 gauge kit, but it is not far off. I upgraded to a beefier kit, but this came with lots of speaker and power/ground wire and decent connectors. For the price it is a good kit,and will get you bumping but if you have a lot of money invested in a nice setup just stick with the more expensive wiring.

Cheap materials

The following review is for ISPKBL8-BG, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I got this with a sub amp package from sonic and i didnt really think much about the wiring kit. its just wires right? NO. the installer refused to use these wires because they were so cheap. theres not plastic surrounding the copper than copper wire itself. its dangerous and could catch your car on fire if used. DO NOT BUY.

Cheap and does what it's supposed to. True 8 guage wire. The little zippered case it comes in is great for storing all my leftover install stuff and fuses in.
