KCA 8 Gauge Complete Amp Installation Kit
KnuKonceptz KCA-K8 amp kit contains all parts required to install a car audio amplifier. Components include: KCA 8 gauge power wire (18FT) KCA 8 gauge ground wire (3FT) Bassik 2 Channel Twisted Pair RCA (17FT) & 14 gauge speaker wire (20FT).
The KnuKonceptz KCA power & ground wire included within this amp kit feature
oversized
Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) conductors. Using larger than American Wire Gauge specifications allows our KCA Kable to handle similar loads as OFC cables in a more cost effective package.
All hardware is included to properly terminate and secure your amp installation kit. The In line AGU fuse holder includes a 50A fuse.
Our 8 Gauge is larger than the cheap 4 Gauge kits found on ebay! Beware of merchants that are selling miss labeled wire!

Additional Information
Oversized vs Other CCA Cable
Our Kolossus Copper Aluminum (KCA) series cable was designed specifically to be larger than the competition. Copper Clad Aluminum is less conductive than Oxygen Free Copper when comparing like sized conductors. CCA however is also much less expensive. So by increasing the area in our KCA cable, KnuKonceptz was able to achieve similar performance to OFC, but without the higher cost.
For this exact reason is why our cable is larger, to achieve similar performance, for less money. The graph below shows, based on area, our cable is at least 40% larger than comparable brands.
Bassik RCA Cable - Simple and Solid
Oxygen Free Copper construction.
Twisted Pair Geometry for noise rejection.
Ultra Flex, soft touch PVC allows this cable to fit in tight places.
Simple color coded channel identification.
Gold plated RCA connectors
Plain and Simple Specifications
Wire type - CCA or OFC
These materials are commonly used, but not commonly stated when shopping online. Know what you are purchasing. Both metals are capable of performing up to their rated loads.
American Wire Gauge
Wire gauge is crucial to powering your system correctly. Undersized cable will create unsafe conditions and may shorten your amplifier's life.
Max Load (amps)
Wire's ampacity changes with gauge and materials. KnuKonceptz does not rate cable based on watts. Amplifier manufactures do not always truthfully state the output of their product, check your on board fuses!
True American Wire Gauge (AWG) Products
Using American Wire Gauge standards, the gauge of stranded wire is determined by the total area of the conductor.
To calculate this you would take the area of each strand and add it together. This area, in square mm, then determines gauge.
Diameter is not as critical with stranded wire, this is due to the tiny air gaps between each strand. Diameter may fluctuate with strand size and how tightly wound the rope of the cable is.
The smaller the number, the larger the wire, until you reach zero or aught (0). From zero, you then have double aught (00 or 2/0), three aught (000 or 3/0) ...
Based on AWG, the true gauge of this cable is 7 Gauge, larger than traditional 8 gauge
Copper Clad Aluminum - Best Value
Copper is the best conductor, but the price, Oversized CCA is the best value.
By Increasing the conductor size, we can offset the conductivity differences while maintaining a lower price.
Always follow the manufacture's max rating on battery cable.
Excessive loads will cause more distortion in amplifiers, create more heat, and will shorten the life of your electronics
Proper termination is crucial, poor connections will create poor performance.
CCA is not recommended for Marine or UTV applications.

Product FAQ
Q:
How many watts can this amp kit handle?
A:
At KnuKonceptz, we do not use "watts" to rate our amp kits. This is a very inaccurate method to determine what the proper gauge wire required for your amp installation. There are many amp manufactures and not all of them represent the output of their product accurately. Please refer to your amplifier's fuse rating, this is a number a manufacture can not fake, well they could but it would put their product in harms way! Add up the fuses on the end of your amp (two 30A fuses = 60A total draw) If this number is under 50A, this kit will fit your application. If over 50A, a larger gauge wire would be required or use our Kolossus Flex 8 gauge amp installation kit
Q:
Can I alter this kit in any way before purchasing?
A:
Our amp kits are made in large batches to reduce cost, which is passed onto you. We can not alter them in any way. Should you need to make alterations, you would have to purchase the items individually from our shopping cart.
