> 24 hourDoes as intended, wires are amazingly nice and thick, for good power source really worth the buy, made my install easier since i could run the wire backwards through the firewall then install the fuse.

> 24 hourKnuKonceptz has what seems to be almost double the strands of wire than other brands. I wont buy anything else.

> 24 hourJust finished installing my system. This was the first time and I wanted to get a kit that had everything I needed to make it easier. This had more than enough. I installed a 12in kicker with a cap and a 1000 wt kendwood amp. The cables are great quality and the shield is easily bendable, discretion was no problem for me. The fuse is great quality too. Spend a little bit more and get the good stuff. YOU WONT REGRET IT.

> 24 hourThe price of this kit is what all kits like this should cost. Walmart ones have less wire (and length) and cost more. I am currently happy with this kit with a few exceptions listed in the Cons section of this review. This kit was used in a 1989 Bronco and my biggest problem is that I couldnt ground back to battery with this kit.

> 24 hourI havent even installed it yet BUT WOW. I have another 4 gauge amp kit that I got a few days ago locally. This is my first time setting up amps but this is THICC. That center area thats sticking out is probably as thick as the other wire. Im gonna have to go get a piece later and take a picture of them side by side.

- Inline fuse holder with 80A fuse
- 5 Meter Bassik Twisted Pair OFC RCA Cable

How many watts can this amp kit handle? At KnuKonceptz, we do not use "watts" to rate our amp kits. This is a very inaccurate method to determine what the proper gauge wire required for your amp installation. Many amp manufactures do not represent the output of their product accurately in watts. Please refer to your amplifier"s fuse rating, this is a number a manufacture can not fake, well they could but it would put their product in harms way! Add up the fuses on the end of your amp (two 30A fuses = 60A total draw) If this number is under 80A, this kit will fit your application. If over 80A, a larger gauge wire would be required or use our Kolossus Flex 4 gauge amp installation kit.
Beware of "1600 Watt" amp kits that include a 50 or 60A fuse. Its physically impossible for these kits to support this load (refer to our comparison photo)
KCA 4 Gauge - Oversized for higher loads vs other CCA cables
Our Kolossus Copper Aluminum (KCA) series cable was designed specifically to be larger than the competition. Copper Clad Aluminum is less conductive than Oxygen Free Copper when comparing like sized conductors. CCA however is also much less expensive. So by increasing the area in our KCA cable, KnuKonceptz was able to achieve similar performance to OFC, but without the higher cost.
For this exact reason is why our cable is larger, to achieve similar performance, for less money. The graph below shows, based on area, our cable is at least 40% larger than comparable brands.
Bassik Twisted Pair 2 Channel RCA Cable
Our Bassik RCA is just that, a straight forward design.
Bassik RCA Features include:
- Oxygen Free Copper construction
- Twisted Pair Geometry for noise rejection
- Ultra Flex, soft touch PVC allows this cable to fit in tight places
- Easy channel identification
- Gold Plated RCA Connectors.
About KnuKonceptz KCA Power Wire and how it compares to other cables
- Using American Wire Gauge standards, the gauge of stranded wire is determined by the total area of the conductor.
- To calculate this you would take the area of each strand and add it together. This area, in square mm, then determines gauge.
- Diameter is not as critical with stranded wire, this is due to the tiny air gaps between each strand. Diameter may fluctuate with strand size and how tightly wound the rope of the cable is.
- The smaller the number, the larger the wire, until you reach zero or aught (0). From zero, you then have double aught (00), three aught (000) and so on.
- Based on AWG, the true gauge of this cable is #3, larger than traditional 4 gauge
- We"ve compared several popular 4 gauge amp kits from other manufactures. The above chart displays the manufacture and the calculated gauge based on area.
- All cables tested were labeled as 4 gauge. The X axis indicates gauge by area and where each cable"s measurement placed itself on the American Wire Gauge scale.
- Several brands barely reached the required area of 8 gauge.
Every KnuKonceptz amp installation kit clearly states these critical specs:
- Wire type - CCA or OFC
- American Wire Gauge
- Max Load (amps)
