KnuKonceptz amp kit good?

Any thoughts on this company for amp wiring kits? I want a good one cuz it's going in my wife's car.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA1HA0CP1152

If anyone has any suggestions all I need is 8 gauge. I ran the subs going into her car on 8 gauge for years. It's only a 300 peak watt amp. I have it wired at 4-ohms using only 65 watts per channel so 130 watts total.

KnuKonceptz has great products. I've used their 0,4,12,14 gauge wiring (make sure its OFC, CCA is just garbage), their RCAs, distribution blocks, sound deadener (kolussus edition) and other installation accessories.

I would recommend going with them.

I have the 45/150 amp for my DB461's coming and I know that Frys is gonna try and shaft me on the amp kit lol. Think I should just get this and have them install the amp with it? I assume they're goona try and get me to by a monster kit or somthing costing $80 or some crap.

That's not OFC. KCA stands for Kolossus Copper Aluminum. It's basically saying it's CCA.

If you want real OFC, then get the Kolossus or Kolossus Fleks.

As far as quality, KnuKonceptz is pretty good. I bought the Kolossus Fleks 2 years ago for my Grand Am and it's held up really well. The wire is now in my Camaro since I sold my Grand Am but other than that, no complaints. The KnuKonceptz OFC wire is usually thicker than most other cheap brands. I actually had to cut strands off my wire to get my wire to fit into my amplifier. I would recommend the Kolossus Fleks over the other products they sell because that wire is very easy to handle. It comes in handy around tight spots.

Here's the OFC version of the wire you want. KnuKonceptz shipping is cheaper too than new egg. For $10 more you have OFC instead of bullshit CCA

Also, are you sure that 8 gauge will be enough for an amp in your wife's car?

Thanks man. 8 gauge is plenty. Ran Tsunami 8 gauge on that amp since 2002. That same wire now runs my new set up. The bazooka amp I am using only has a 20 amp fuse and 8 gauge is good to 60 amps

Ohh ok, just making sure. I know newer amps usually call for 4 gauge wire.
