Our take on the StreetWires ZeroNoise 5 ZN5K-08

by Buck Pomerantz

This wiring kit does not include speaker wire or patch cables. You will need to purchase those separately, in order to complete your amplifier installation.

You bought a great amplifier, so why starve it for power? These ZeroNoise 5 cables from StreetWires employ 100% oxygen-free copper wires in their construction to promote a free and easy flow of power without any bottlenecks caused by corrosion or contaminants. All StreetWires cables meet the strict CEA-2015 standards for strand count so you can be sure you'll get all the electrical conductivity and sonic transparency you'll need for top performance.

This 8-gauge amp kit includes the insulated ground and power cables, fuseholder and fuse, remote turn-on lead, and the connectors you'll need to power an amplifier with a total fuse rating of up to 60 amperes.

Features

Overview: This is a 8-gauge single amplifier wiring kit that includes the power & ground cables, remote turn-on lead, and accessories required to install one amplifier.

Note: Speaker wire and interconnect RCA cables are sold separately.

In-line Fuse Holder: The in-line fuse holder is waterproof and comes with a 60-amp AFS fuse. The fuse holder's set screw input and output accept bare 8-gauge wire (no ring terminal required). Integrated tabs allow you to mount the fuse holder using optional self-tapping screws. The fuse holder measures 1.625" (w) x 1.25" (h) x 3.25" (d).

Note: The set screws require 3mm allen wrenches.
