Boss Audio KIT-2 Complete 8 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit Review. 8 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit...
"just the right parts at the right time and price" 2009-12-20
By Tom Paine (socialist occupied Maryland)
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.
"Perfect for the BOSS Audio Compact Sub" 2008-06-29
By N. Miller (Richmond, VA USA)
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.
"Boss Audio Kit-2 Subwoofer installation kit" 2009-11-14
By Paul M. Toscano (New York State)
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.
"Boss Audio 8-gauge amp kit" 2010-04-30
By A. Madison (California)
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.

By L. Mattera (Rhode Island)
If you aren't looking to go into competition or anything than these are perfect. The wires are all what they claim, and they are pretty good 8 Gauge at that. This is perfect if you are looking to get pretty loud sound, but nothing to make your car fall apart. 5/5 if this is what youre looking for. I love Boss Audio, they rarely let me down.
