Car Subwoofer System

Review by Tom Paine "NB" : just the right parts at the right time and price

Judging from a lot of the reviews here people seemed to be expecting more. Like expecting to pay more for the same or less. I looked at several kits here and elsewhere and I went ahead and ordered this for installing a Boss Bass1200 in a Tacoma pickup (I don't need to rock the car next to me, just me and my passengers). The fuse holder alone costs as much elsewhere (I saw the exact one) as the who kit does here. I don't do this professionally. Install car audio components. I don't have a tool drawer full of 8 gauge wires and nuts and crimp-on fittings (well, some) so this kit looked like the right thing and is enough to do the job with stuff left over. I've got a few niches open in my toolbox to fill. If you're a pro, or a wannabe-pro, I'm not talking to you. If you're a new car owner or someone just trying to upgrade his/her car stereo and you need a kit like this, buy it. It's a good deal.

Review by Mark Conklin : Nice installation package.

This has everything you need to install an after market amplifier for your car. The wires are plenty long enough, have a nice gauge of good braided wire, and a good fuse box. The considering this was about 1/4th the price of some of the other brands out there, this is a great buy.

Review by Jeffrey D. Sanders "Bro" : Good product for a budget

I bought this item with a boss audio amplified subwoofer. It is made a little cheap, but all and all it came with everything that you need to hook up a car amp and subwoofer. It has plenty of wire to reach for those bigger cars. I would recommend this product if youre on a budget. Worked great for me.

Review by Kyle C. Moore "Flashaholic" : Great value, but not the best quality

This kit does have everything you need (plus some extra connectors which was fantastic) however the 8 gauge wiring is stiff and compared to kicker 8 gauge wiring it does not have 1/3 the amount of strands. The sheilding is very thick so you should have no problems running it through firewall with minimal concerns of stripping wire (still use rubber if fitting if possible). The price is right. I used the connectors, fuse box/fuse, and remote wire from this kit but went to a local shop to purchase a higher quality signal wire (supplied would probably have worked fine but if i am going to spend a day tearing the inside of my car apart, i figured i might as well install a high quality signal wire for mids and highs to lessen the chance of any engine noise). I also purchased 21 feet of kicker 8 gauge wire which was much more flexable and had much more wire inside (extremely easy to work with, the flexability alone paid for itself). You would spend more than 12 dollars on a fuse/signal wire/remote wire/connectors at radio shack so i do not feel as though it was a waste of money; however, if you are running any more than a 200 watt RMS amp i would upgrade the power and gnd wire to something a little more substantial. Just my thoughs, i am by no means a pro stereo installer but i have done quite a few installs over the past 10 years and know a quality wire when i see one.

Review by N. Miller : Perfect for the BOSS Audio Compact Sub

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.

Review by Andrew R. Cunje : great kit cheap cost

the review says it all...for a budget system..get this terminators are the greatest... but like i said...budget system...

Review by Rancid : Does what it's supposed to

This does exactly what's it supposed to do. I would have liked a few more large gauge ring connectors though.

Review by Paul M. Toscano : Boss Audio Kit-2 Subwoofer installation kit

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.

Review by A. Madison "Amazon Guru" : Boss Audio 8-gauge amp kit

Everything I needed to wire my amp, quality components and ring terminals and thick wires. The speaker wire it came with was great too. Don't dump a ton of $ of Monster Cables, just because they have a name. It's good stuff and I recommend this kit. For around $12 you absolutely can't go wrong.

Review by Allen : Awesome kit for real cheap

This is a real good installation kit. It provided me with enough supplies for the whole install and then some. Only complaint is that this is actually 10 gauge wire....But mine is pushing an 800 watt amp with no problems all day. Don't pass this deal up if your under 1000 watts just for the wire size. If your over 1000, I would look into 4 gauge..
