Home > Consumer Reviews > Boss Audio KIT-2 Complete 8 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit

I used this kit with a BOSS compact sub. It installed perfectly into a 2000 Jeep Cherokee. I would definitely buy this item again, even if I wasn't installing a BOSS sub. Its pretty flexible and provided me with plenty of wiring. I would recommend it without hesitation.

The cabling is strictly average for the power and ground, nothing exciting. They are NOT 8 gauge however, they closer to 10. I have plenty examples of 8 gauge wires and this isn't it.

The rca cable that comes with the kit isn't bad. The remote turn on is a little thin with the copper for my taste. The speaker wire is AWFUL. It may have the jacket of a 16 gauge speaker wire, but it has the copper of a 20 gauge. It is WAY to thin on the copper. I had a spool of RCA 14 gauge I ended up using instead.

The MO for this kit is use thick jackets to make it LOOK like the right size, then use less copper. I guess the extra jacket helps with shielding if nothing else.

Thanks to the reviews on Amazon when I purchased a new BOSS Audio sub-woofer for my truck, there was mention of this kit and how beneficial it was in completing installation. It made the install go much more smoothly than I could have imagined. From start to finish it took me an hour and ten minutes to run all the wiring (nicely hidden I might add), mount the sub, make all connections between the battery, sub and head unit, and have the music playing.

For the money, the sub and installation kit are a great deal. You'll get your money's worth.

I honestly think BOSS Audio should include this kit with their sub and raise the price to reflect the addition. It would just make things easier.

I would not suggest ANYONE buy this wiring kit. The wires I got with my kit were very cheap and of poor quality. Without any effort I accidently broke the power lead to my radio by simply pulling on the wire a little bit. This wiring kit caused numerous problems for me because wires kept failing. Everytime I would try to splice a wire about half of what I spliced would just break off from being twisted.(it was THAT brittle). I think just about any other kit on the market would be better than this one. I almost never review products, but this one is so bad I felt that I needed to.

the review says it all...for a budget system..get this

terminators are the greatest... but like i said...budget system...
