Received my amp install kit and when I opened it up I was happy to see everything you'd need was in the box. Though, when I closely looked at the wires I was a bit concerned they appeared to be thinner than described. I decided to prove my suspicions right or wrong with some calipers and I convinced myself that my eyes were right.
This kit advertises 10awg wires. Per American Wire Gauge (AWG) standards, a 10AWG wire should measure .1018 inches in diameter. When I measured my power wire I received a diameter of .0860 inches. This measurement would indicate the wire is somewhere between 11 & 12 AWG. Much thinner than described. The insulation on these wires is really thick, I'm sure that's to give the idea that the wire is true to size. If you're wondering whether my measuring tool was accurate to this dimension, I work in a facility where we have our calibers calibrated monthly as we deal with dimensions this small routinely.
I'm not willing to starve my amp (though it is small) so I'm returning the product and will be going to purchase trusted wires elsewhere.
At the end of the day, I got what I paid for. That's why it's going back. SSL SWK10 Complete 10 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit
If you need it for amp installation then forget it! the power wire is pretty thin and the whole package is kind of awkward... they should have included some extra terminals as well as given a better fuse box instead of ummmmm i'm not even sure how to call that FUSE box LOL. I got this set for hooking up my crossover so i don't regret buying it coz it was only 7 bux. It's perfect for what i need...
Once again, i bought another amp kit from the amazon for 12 bux by boss and that kit is alot better than this 1 so if you need this 1 for amp installation you might want to reconsider your purchase.
In conclusion, don't let the price tag fool you, add another few dollars and buy a better product. - Car Audio - Car Stereo Mp3 Am Fm Cd - Boss - Wiring Kits'
