Best Amp Kits

[goodguy8705 10+ year member]

Who makes the best affordable amp kits. I need a 4 gauge and an 8 gauge or a kit made for two amps capable of the same thing.

I'm looking at an AudioQue 1200D which takes 4 gauge, but at the length I'm running the cable, I think 4 gauge might be cutting it close.

I don't really want to upgrade to 2 gauge as I'm on a budget and can't afford much.

Don't have any experience with Knu but I don't like the idea of copper clad aluminum. They overstuff their wires to get the same performance as regular copper cable. That means there is less insulation to protect the wire.

Streetwires is around the same price as Knu but they use pure copper afaik.

I'm telling u guy, the knu kit is worth every penny. I've been using Knukonceptz for like 3 or 4 years and it has always been great.

lol You really think they use the same insulation as regular 0 gauge. This is almost worthy of submitting to drama

You guys have got to be joking.

Knu's KLM 1/0 amp install "kit" is a joke. its $52 for power wire, ground wire, and a fuse/fuse holder.

Kicker's 1/0 Hyperflex kit comes with:

20 feet 1/0 Power wire

5 feet 1/0 Ground wire

5 feet 4awg power wire

5 feet 4awg ground wire

2 distribution blocks

A fuse holder

Not to mention the quality of Kicker's distribution blocks, fuse holder, and power wire is about 100x better than Knu's.

all i know about the knu wire i have is that i hate the klm wire it doesnt flex or bend at all, not worth buying at all, if i could go back and get something different i wouldnt look at knu klm at all

Power Acoustik makes good 2 gauge and under kits for really cheap. The 2 gauge is closer to 4, but it's still a good price.
