Rockford Fosgate 8 AWG Amplifier Install Kit with Interconnect

This is getting returned fast. I was actually really disappointed in this considering all the rave reviews and the Rockford Fosgate name. Unfortunately it looks like theyre saving every ounce of copper they can, because the 8 AWG kit I picked up at my local audio shop to use instead was the same diameter at the outside of the jacket, but with a lot more copper and a lot less sleeve. (Cheaper to boot - this is expensive for what youre getting) Im sure the wire itself would be fine if youre not pushing the power envelope of an 8 AWG install (my kits only pulling 13.5-14 amps so 10 or even 12 would probably be fine, but I like overkill). I wouldnt really call it a safety issue for most people but know what youre getting into, because the only reason I chose this over similar cheaper kits listed here was the assurance that this was true 8 AWG. My real problem was the garbage fuse holder and premade connection. I like to install the fuse last, after the wire is run and everythings connected, so I tried to remove the fuse from the holder. The screw off ends twist the wire when coming apart, and it stripped the wire right out of the connector without very much force applied at all. If the premade connection is that bad, theres no way it wasnt going to vibrate out down the road somewhere and cause me a serious problem. Satisfied with the quality of everything but the fuse holder and questionable wire gauge. Remote turn on wire and RCA signal wires are good quality, as is the hardware, crimps and etc included.

perfect

1- quality wire meets spec 2- quality fusehold worth the money dont get the cheaper stuff as it rarely meets spec and the cheap fuse holds like to melt

Done its job well so far!

The bass is nice and full, good punch/bass to the oem sounds in my 2014 CRV.

Great quality wires came with everything I needed to wire my amp up to the battery and deck, only thing I had to buy was speaker wire to go from the amp to the sub. Good wires worked awesome easy to run.

I bought a rockford amp kit like 15 years ago and it was well built. Nice to see that in 2018 they havent dropped in quality. I absolutely trust the RF kit, whereas some other cheap brands have issues. This is electrical wiring, not something to cheap out on! It would be nice if the ground wire were a little bit longer (in this kit and in other kits) but I knew what I was getting.

The kit was exactly what I needed to install my subwoofer. The pre-installed fuse on the power cable made installation a breeze. The only problem I had was that the terminal ring on the ground wire was too small, but that was an fix.

Worked well and arrived on time

Thank you
