Not enough power cord or amp turn on cable. For the money 6' just isn't enough. Didn't even get half way to where I needed but I guess I should have read the description better before ordering

Would of been a five star but you need the main power wire to be twice as thick (4 gauge) the split wires (8 gauge)so i had to buy more stuff to make it work

Complete kit has everything needed to wire a 4 channel amp and a sub with mono amp as advertised.

Pros: Complete kit. Great, durable cables

Cons: why not red and white colored RCA connections? It would be easier than trying to remember which color blue and black are associated with when wiring.

I was a little disappointed but it was my fault so 4 stars because no speaker wire and it said dual amp wire kit meaning its just a wire kit nothing extra,no longer cords or anything. Kinda feel like false advertising with the name the had over it.

Not bad for the price

Crutchfield customer from West Bloomfield, MI on 4/13/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Seems to be ok for the price. It's been installed for a couple of weeks and I haven't had an issue. The cables seem to be of decent quality, but I'm not using the RCA's so I can't comment on them. The fuse block is nice, fuses clamped down well and haven't had them come loose. This is installed on a Rzr UTV so it gets bounced around quite a bit.

Cons:

Quality product but rusty and bent.

Kennith from Chesapeake, VA on 5/20/2018

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Quality kit and has everything you need to add a 2nd amp. However it looks like this kit was used and returned and resold to me. Not a big deal normally but the terminal connectors provided were bent up real bad and a couple of the screws were rusted. Also was missing one ground wire. I assume it is suppose to come with 2 just as it did power. Plus the picture shows 2 in the discription. I recommend messuring the exact amount of ground you need as this is not a very long ground wire. I barely had enough and had to modify the connection piece to secure it to the OEM grounding spot behind my rear driver side seat in my 2017 F-50. Also you may want to consider buying another splitter for your ground wire.

Pros: Everything you need to add another amp at a great price

Cons: Ground wire is short In my case, bent terminal connectors and rusted hardware. Missing a ground wire. Ground wire end peice needed to be drilled out to fit OEM ground point.

Crutchfield response on 5/22/2018
Our Customer Support rep, Gregory, reached out to Kennith for a follow-up. If you encounter a problem with anything you purchase from Crutchfield, it's important to contact our Customer Support or Tech Support teams right away.
