Kicker 09PK4 4AWG ROHS Compliant Amplifier Power Kit

• Direct-Connect installation components transfer the highest possible current with the fewest connections
• Included are Power Cable, Ground Cable, Fuse Holder, System Fuses and more

IMPORTANT: although the product I am reviewing is the 4AWG kit, Kicker's fuse box in this kit contains grommets and collars that bring the wiring down to 8AWG. If you don't know that those pieces are in there, your wiring may be getting dropped down to 8AWG at the box. If you're using the supplied 4AWG wire and want a good solid bite on the wire, you should remove these pieces so that the entire 4AWG wire will reach the screw-down clamp on each side (and strip your 4AWG wire accordingly as it will go a bit deeper without the 8AWG fittings).

The Kicker 09PK4 Amp Kit was recommended to me by *cough*another vendor*cough*, but I'm glad I took the leap. The 4AWG is certainly thick enough for a heavy load, but where things win out are in the quality of the various parts. For example, there's a decent amount of protective sleeving on one end of the power cable, protecting it from damage as you feed it through your firewall.

The cable is extremely hard to cut, but rather easy to strip despite heavy amounts of insulation. If you look at a bare end, you see a tightly-woven set of strand clusters intertwined in a way that most likely improves conductivity while reducing interference. We have a fuse kit that's a bit clumsy to handle (the plastic cover came off a lot while I was fumbling with it) but stays tightly clamped once you join both ends. There's a nice assortment of ties so the do-it-yourselfer can make sure they don't leave anything lying on top of something hot, and last we have a small collection of forked and ring clamps for securing everything.

I ran this in my 2007 Subaru STI to my amp installation under the passenger seat and had plenty of slack left over. I used the gray grounding wire right on the seat bolt and got no noise problems. I do have one complaint, and that's that I would have liked to have a simple ring terminal for a seat bolt--this isn't that bizarre of a configuration and the seat bolt isn't exactly easy to spade-connect to. That said, I was glad to have perfectly-sized ring terminals for creating my own ground wire off the battery--factory grounds are typically skinny little affairs, and any audio system can benefit from a good thick-gauge grounding wire for stability.

If you're going to wire your own car amplifier, the Kicker 09PK4 kit is a great tool for the job. It's easy to feed and doesn't look like it'll be easy to nick or rub off the insulation over time. Be sure your amp accepts 4AWG wire (most do) and you'll be good to go.

Kicker PK4 Wires are excellent quality but one important component is missing that I may have overlooked and/or been misinformed.

Amazon's picture of the kit is exactly what you are getting, but the fuse box does not include a fuse. Kicker fuses have specific amp ratings for each system that you may set up so you would have to check your amplifiers max amp rating before purchasing the fuse separately.

The misinformation is actually on kickers' site, maybe i misinterpreted but this quote is from the kicker site... "Included in the kit are power cable, ground cable, fuse holder, system fuses and more all Direct-Connect engineered to work together." Also, because there are not much pictures with to aid you on the kicker site, you truly are not well informed about the product.

So, this situation has held me up, but i know amazon's amazing shipping times, i'll get the fuses that i had ordered after, in no time. kudos to amazon, bleh to kicker's non-intuitive webpage.

I had some dinky 8 gauge wire going to my amp power a single 10" type R. The old wire ended up melting next to the fuse holder. it was making my entire after market stereo clip, meaning restarting at random times. just cutting out. since i installed this i have had no issues. the only thing id tell you is their are spacers in the fuse holder you have to remove to fit the enormous 4 gauge wire.
