Our take on the EFX 10-gauge Amplifier Wiring Kit

by Ken Nail

This wiring kit does not include speaker wire, so you'll need to purchase that separately to complete your amp installation. This kit includes patch cables for a 2-channel or mono amp — you'll need to add cables for multi-channel amps.

Make sure you enjoy the full potential of your new amplifier by hooking it up with quality power and signal connections.

This wiring kit from EFX includes 10-gauge power and ground cables, a stereo RCA audio cable, and all the accessories you'll need to connect your new amp. Just add whatever speaker wire you need, and you're ready to go. Designed for amplifiers with a fuse rating of up to 30 amperes.

Highlights:

Can't beat it for the price

Written By Chad A, San Diego on Monday, January 23, 2012

Can't beat it for the price, it was included in powered sub that I bought. It did the job and I have no complaints. As far as Crutchfield goes they are simply the best in the business.

Pros:

Great value

EFX 10-gauge Amplifier Wiring Kit

Written By akaSIgFreak, Orlando,Fl on Thursday, November 17, 2011

If I hadn't received the kit for free with the purchase of an Infinity BassLink, I would be asking for a refund. I brought the kit and the BassLink to a high-end audio shop to install in my Mercedes. Due tot he crappy quality of the in-line fuse holder, the sub power kept cutting out which caused them to spend more time troubleshooting. Not good when you are paying them by the hour. It is also a rule of thumb in installations that your system is only as strong as the wiring used. I suggest sticking with higher quality kit to save you some trouble and frustration.

Pros:

It was free

Cons:

Low Quality. In-line fuse would maintain a secure connection.

Cheap

Written By chuckdv, Wyoming, MI on Saturday, November 05, 2011

This was given as a free wiring kit when I bought the Infinity BassLink Subwoofer. Was told by installers that it was a very cheap kit and we didn't even use it.

Crutchfield response on Thursday, November 17, 2011

Thanks for providing feedback about the wiring kit. This is one of the more affordable amplifier wiring kits that we carry. We always recommend the best wiring you can afford for your system, and this kit will certainly perform well for budget minded customers.

'07 CRV EX-L (NonNAVI)

Written By RickS, WV on Saturday, September 03, 2011

Recieved this with the Sound OrdnanceT B-8PT(also reviewed). This product gets 4 stars instead of 5 because I have yet to test it with other subs that recommend/use this size gauge kit. That said, it works great. Plenty of cord length left when running from positive terminal reciever, under panels/carpet, and coming up the vehicle's cargo spare tire cover (closest to rear seats, had enough to run at closest to tailgate door). Even fit through the grommet of the firewall(once grommet was drilled to fit gauge size snug). Not having to drill into the firewall of this vehicle is a major +

Written By Drummer80, WI on Thursday, September 01, 2011

Awesome. Everything I needed to install my powered subwoofer. Plenty of length to work with, and a few extras which I didn't end up needing. I would get it again.
