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 8-gauge power and ground cables, a twisted-pair stereo RCA audio cable, space saving mini wafer fuse holder and fuse, 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 60 amperes.

Written By Yodaforce, Western NC on Wednesday, February 01, 2012 I have never understood why alot of people thought you had to spend big bucks on an amplifier wiring kit. Componants of these kits are fairly general and not alot of real differences. Cable is cable. The fuse junction and RCA patch cables are really the only thing that you do not want to skimp on. This kit was perfect for my amplifier install, with enough cable to reach the entire length of my vehicle, and with the braided patch cables and covered fuse block, did just what I expected. It simplified the installation, and where it is visible on the vehicle (engine compartment and truck at the amp) it looks good. Pros: Looks, performance, PRICE! Cons: None Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 4 out of 5 pretty nice for free Written By dv8west, PHL PA on Sunday, January 29, 2012 I got this wire kit with the Powered Sub. Not a bad kit and for free very good deal. The lenght run was perfect from the trunk to the engine battery (cut off about 12" extra). Nice gauge and everything was included. One comment the terminal ends are pretty cheap. I replaced them with my own and I think you should do the same. 5 mins extra to crimp and well worth it, especially if the stock ones breaks, which they did for me. Pros: Very good for free, perfect for low powered subs. Length was good. Cons: Cheap Wire terminals that will break.
