> 24 hourIve used it to installed a 500 RMS amp. This is one of the best quality cable Ive used. Its very flexible, so it makes installation a breeze when routing through your car interior. The insulation is very soft so its prone to cuts. Overall I would recommend to those who are looking for quality cable.

> 24 hourTrue 4 gauge wire if not slightly bigger. I tried some after market 4 Gauge crimps and the wire would not even come close to fitting in there had to get 2 gauge terminals and crimp extra hard. The crimps that come with it are fine, I needed an extra set to use for capacitor install.

> 24 hourReally good kit for the price mine came as an actual 4 gauge wiring unlike a few the reviews but then again I clicked on the 4 gauge option...

> 24 hourThis product is awesome. Theres not much one can say about wire, but Ill try. First of all, the jacket on this is pretty darn tough for being so thin (So dont look at the pictures and think I dont want that! Itll melt or crack or something! It wont..) Second, its super flexible, I had no issues installing it in my 2002 Maxima, Which there is very little room under the door entry trim. Lastly and most importantly, its true 4 gauge wire so you will get the exact amount of current you will need for your amplifier (if your amp suggests something close to 4 gauge) Also, as you would assume, there is a substantial length of wire, I did my car clear to the trunk and had a good 4 feet to spare. As for the other components of this kit- I found them to be great as well. The terminals were the exact size as the wire so no trimming was needed. The terminals were also very easy to crimp. The fuse holder is solidly built with o-rings inside to lock out moisture and acidic gas that flows from your battery (You cant see it, but its there, and it can ruin fuses in cheap fuse holders) You get loads of speaker wire, I only needed about two foot for my install and that didnt even make a dent in the roll. The RCAs were nice. They seemed tough and the built in remote wire was a nice touch. However, the right channel connector on one end of the wire was very loosely fitting. Probably just a fluke, as all KnuKonceptz products Ive seen were fantastic. I just bent it ever so slightly to get a better connection, worked fine. So Im not one of those guys that heard about this stuff from some famous youtuber and then went out acting like a sales rep for it when they have no prior experiences with wire installation, This is an honest review from some one with knowledge. I believe this product deserves the full five stars. Well done KnuKonceptz, Well done.

KnuKonceptz KCA 4 Gauge Complete 2 Channel Amplifier Installation Kit
The KCA-K4 Amplfier Installation Kit Includes:
- 18" 4 AWG Blue KCA Kable (CCA) Power Wire
- 3" 4 AWG Black KCA Kable (CCA) Ground Wire
- Inline fuse holder with 80A fuse
- 5 Meter Bassik Twisted Pair OFC RCA Cable
- 20 Feet Bassik 14 AWG CCA speaker wire
- 5 Meter Blue Remote / Turn one wire
- 2 gold plated 4 gauge ring terminals, 2 gold plated 4 gauge spade terminals
- grommets and wire ties
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)
