| Cheap Car Amplifier Wiring kit |
A car amplifier wiring kit is a critical part of your car audio installation to ensure that your amplifier always gains the maximum performance from the cars electrical system. An incorrect wiring kit can result in spending too much for something you didn’t need or an insufficient car amp wiring kit that can cause a potential risk to your safety of your vehicle. In today’s article, we are going to provide you with my very own unique first-time buyers guide for buying a car amplifier wiring kit. Let’s start of the with the basics.
You need to know the length of your vehicle. Some kits contain longer wires than others. I have had it happened to myself were I have waited all week for the ebay car amplifier wiring kit to arrive in the post to find out after opening it, the wire is too short for the length of my vehicle VW passat an very long vehicle indeed. Some car amplifier wiring kits come with less wire than stated on the packet to save costs to make more money, which happens all the time. The best way is to get a tape measure, measure how much meters your car is in length and add an extra few meters on it. That way you will get the correct measure to help you get a car amplifier wiring kit for your car.
Now that you have the correct size of the car amplifier wiring kit you need. You also need to make sure the gauge wiring size is correct. The lower the gauge number the more copper wire is inside the insulated jacket. 10 gauge wiring kits for 300 watts rms car amplifiers, 8 gauge wiring kits are usually sufficient for up to 500 watts rms car amplifiers and 4 gauge is good for up to 1000 watts rms car amplifiers. These are the common sizes, usually oversized wire, more than you need is always a good thing if you can afford it.
Cheap car amplifier wiring kits are often cheap for a reason, so be aware when searching on ebay for the cheapest car amplifier wiring kit. With car audio, people tend to want to spend the less amount of money as possible and want the best sound in the world. This is not possible. Cheap wiring even if its rated the correct gauge for your car amplifier, tend to have less copper inside and are beefed up with more plastic insulation to make the wire look thinker than it is. If you cut the wire and strip it, you will notice the cheaper car amplifier wiring kits have hardly any copper inside but have a nice thick insulated jacket that provides no performance, apart from saving costs for the manufacturer of the car amplifier wiring kit to make more money from their product. I have seen this with some vibe car amplifier wiring kits sold in halfords doing this trick, which is a shame. I always go for trusted car audio wiring brands such as stinger that have been in the game for years, for trusted quality products.
If you want the best possible voltage to go to your car amplifier, then you want the best possible wiring. A lot of people don't know the quality of copper used also plays a big impact. OFC vs CCA is a common debate that people often don’t know exists. CCA is silver wire sprayed with copper particles to make it more conductive but it is not pure copper. OFC stands for oxygen free copper and is the real deal that contains proper copper materials. The OFC wire always feel heavier and more quality just buy feeling it and the CCA wire will feel cheap and light. OFC car amplifier wiring kits are not cheap though, but they will get the best possible voltage to your amp. There are many car amplifier wiring kits that have proven that OFC wire provides more power to your car amplifier, which means more powerful bass.
