Cadence Fda0+4k 0+4 Gauge Dual Amplifier Installation Kit

Cadence Fda0+4k 0+4 Gauge Dual Amplifier Installation Kit
  • Nickel Plated For Corrosion Resistance
  • High Current Competition Class Dual Amp Kit
  • 3000 Watt System Capable
  • Designed To Enable Peak Performance
  • 100% Copper Rca Interconnect

Ok, I shopped around online for about a month looking for a dual amp wiring kit. While I am not a certified car audio installer, from my study and being a cable man I have learned about gauge quality, size, standards, and signal flow. With that aside I was confused as to rather or not I'd get a good quality zero gauge cable kit or if it would/wouldn't be AWG (American standard gauge or whatever.) So I searched out youtube videos of this Cadence Cable compared to others out there. After all the searching I settled on this Kit and I tell you what!!!! This cable is thick(0Guage.) They don't give you more isolation to make the cable LOOK-LIKE its bigger than it is. IT IS! And it has more than enough flex for running the cable around obstacles.

Oh, don't be fooled like I was by the picture. These distribution blocks are VERY WELL constructed as well. The only thing I'd think is not right is that I was assuming by what I have researched that a zero gauge wire should be fused with more than 150A fuse more like 250A or 300A...but as I said I'm no expert.

All in all if you are on a budget, have a 3000 watt< system, and want to get it right the first time, don't worry so much about AWG and those $100,$200+ BIG NAME kits and get this one or the $89 kit that has a digital volt display and gold plated connections. Good luck on your install (make'em roll there windows up lol)

These are true gauge sizes... Actually, the 1/0 is a little bigger than spec. Only issue with the kit is the distrbution block for the ground (1 into 4) is of no use to this kit as the terminals are 4 & 8 awg. Not a big deal. Non fused distribution blocks are a dime a dozen. Even with this small issue I would rate this product 6 ★ if I could. It's a little pricey but worth every penny... And still cheap considering the power wire alone would cost more than this kit from a dealer. This kit will definately power your 5000 w and under system.

On a side note, I would also recommend using a different remote wire as this one is very slight and could easily break. Still 100 percent satisfied.

I'll start off with two statements about this kit:

1. You ARE getting the advertised wire gauges.

2. The 0ga power and ground wires are copper clad aluminum.

The distribution blocks and fuse blocks included with the kit are very high quality, as is the battery terminal.

All in all, I'd buy this kit again.

This was my first purchase of a cadence product and let me tell u this is a top quality wireing kit everything and more tham expected was included, aTop notch kit if i would reccomend this kit to anyone :-D

Great set. Only thing is the ground distribution block is to small for the 0 guage wire. Other than that everything was good.

Wagan 2402 200W Smart AC USB Inverter

Wagan 2402 200W Smart AC USB InverterThis inverter is compact and does exactly what it is intended to do. The USB slot is a nice feature. I have used it on 8+ hour roadtrips powering cell phones, laptops, DVD players and other items. Never a problem.

Very nice, I use it in my SUV, then hook my notebook up to it, runs a little hot but not too bad, I also charge my cell phone off it, small, and has an on/off switch with a green power light, I like it.

I don't really see how you could get a better product. I took it cross country MA to CA and back, it worked like a charm always for all my charging needs. The USB is really handy for cell phones leaving two ports open for larger plugs like laptops or cameras.

We went through two of the Wagan EL2402s. The first arrived and a piece of solder fell out of one of the vents. May have been extraneous, but better to be safe than sorry, Amazon was great and overnighted a replacement. At best I can only give mixed reviews. The is supposed to be able to handle 200 Watts with a peak of 500 Watts.. Fairly substantial in print. In reality, things like battery chargers, cell phone chargers, etc., all seemed to be fine. Where the problems began were on more "specific" devices. We wanted the device for my wife to run a 35 Watt Chi hair straightener. It would not even turn on. The description says power tools, so I thought I'd given a try to a couple. First a sabre saw, again well under peak and normal wattage to be handled. Nothing, a blip when I pulled the trigger, then nothing. A Dewalt hand drill... well kinda sorta.. If you started out VERY slowly on revolutions and worked your way up, you could get to full speed. I didn't try that under a load, but I assume it would work to a point.

I called Wagan, and they assumed some of the failures cames from the fact that AC devices are used to and built for a sine wave output. The Wagan (and I assume some others) don't produce the exact same sine wave (calling it a modified sine wave). So, your own mileage may vary. Some Notebook AC Chargers may be more sensitive than others, so you probably can't be sure. Again, I don't know that Wattage alone is the delimiting factor. It may that your particular device just won't work.

My advice, read the reviews.. If you have a particular device or devices you are thinking about running, perhaps check with the manufacturers of these different inverters. Remember electronics are pretty sensitive devices when it comes to power. While I may be willing to try a Chi hair straightener, I may not be as comfortable with a notebook.. Best bet there is to see if your manufacturer has a DC supply (Car/Airplane) adapter.

I have an Odyssey deep cycle battery in my car. I ran my power hungry Dell desktop replacement laptop off this charger for 2 weeks, no problems. The laptop has a 90W power brick. I also ran the 90W laptop power brick + a 50W external laptop battery charger at the same time. If your car's wiring is protected by a 20A fuse, then 200W continuous is the most you're going to safely pull through your cigar lighter. I picked this unit because it's 200W continuous. Many of the other available "200W" products are just full of marketing slime and don't give 200W continuous, they give 200W peak power for a few minutes and can only handle ~150W continuous. Small annoyances: the user manual claims it has an airplane plug adapter but it doesn't, and the plug is so long that it's not the best fit for my car's cigar lighter. I have to carefully align the flexible springs on the plug to get it to stay in, but if so aligned they do stay in.

Update July 2012. The unit gave me no problems for 2 years. Then I plugged an ungrounded 2-prong Dekcell universal battery charger with a laptop battery attached to it, and the unit fried. I had used that same Dekcell charger with the unit before, but I hadn't done it for 2 years. I don't know what happened. Maybe has to do with the order in which you plug things in. The unit has a perfectly good 20A fuse inside it, that didn't blow. What's the point of a fuse if it won't protect the unit from trouble? Which direction was that fuse supposed to protect from, I wonder?

So, since it died, I can't rate it as more than average. I'm shopping for something else. One thing positive I will say for the Wagan, it's quiet. Lots of units I'm finding in retail stores have noisy fans. I can't stand that and keep returning them.

Bell Automotive 22-1-38801-8 Fake Car Alarm - Pack of 2

Bell Automotive 22-1-38801-8 Fake Car Alarm - Pack of 2Of my two vehicles, one is a beater that I really couldn't justify buying a decent alarm for, so I elected to go with a mechanical immobilizer via a battery disconnect switch. I remove the key with me every night so the car is permanently disabled.

The upside to this is that the car absolutely isn't going anywhere without that little key, so even if I have to replace a broken window, busted steering column cover and popped ignition, I still have my car... The downside is, most of the "cheap" alarms I looked at didn't have an aux power supply so with the battery disconnected, they wouldn't work. Seeing as I'd really rather not have to replace a window, steering column cover and ignition, I picked up this little bluff light to hopefully act as a deterrent.

It does what it's supposed to do. W. Chan's review is right; the stickypad/velcro system sucks, so I took that off with a razor blade and used ordinary rubber cement to hold it put while still being 'removable'. The battery seems to last foreverI leave mine on all the time, so I just ground off the little switch. The only thing I don't like about it is that they now sell these at pretty much every auto parts store, and their dome design is rather 'distinctive'. It's entirely possible that a meaningful percentage of car thieves can spot them for what they are, but hopefully, the next guy who peeks in my car window at 3:00 AM isn't one of them.

They flash bright enough.

Decently sized for a car alarm would be nice if it was a tad bit smaller though. I took off the velcro on the bottom to make it flush with my dash and looks decent if you just glanced at it. The On/Off lettering is a giveaway so I had to rub it out. If I had to complain I would've wished that it was a twist on/off instead of a little switch which you can see poking out, other than that the price is right.

Turned the first one on and seemed to work fine.tried to turn the second one on and it wouldnt turn on.took it apart as per instructions.it turned on while apart then after i closed it up it wouldnt turn on.As for the first one,it wont turn off.i took it apart and was able to shut it off.when i put it back together i turned it on and again,it wont turn off.returned both.

Ok ~ so these are quite big ~ approx 1 inch x 1 inch (an important small detail that seems to have been left out). For something like this the size seems to be a litte on the large side.

Batteries are included which is a bonus. Being curious I tried to get the cover off of one to see how the battery is replaced and it was tough. The opaque dome twists so far and then stops you need to twist it just that but more for it to come apart. The pieces are quite difficult to separate. I had to pry the dome off with my finger nail to separate it.

I also found it nearly impossible to re-align the pieces back to their original position. The little plastic tabs that hold the dome on broke almost immediately as they seem paper thin but it all seemed to hold together once pressed in again.

Update:

The second unit was much easier to open.

It seems there is a little empty space behind the battery. This unit fell off in my car (velcro strip Adhesive didn't hold). The led wouldn't switch on. I pulled it apart and had to press the battery in and it worked again. I might place something in that empty space behind the battery to prevent the battery from losing its connection.

It looks quite convincing in the car especially at night. I'm going to try some 3M double sided tap to hold it in place. Positioning is important. Look at it during the day and night. I found lower down where it gets less light was better.

I have also found that these place in the right position at home can look light a camera or sensor.

Great little item. Makes it look like your car is alarmed. And the little on/off switch is a terrific little idea.

2.5-inch Full HD 1080p Dashboard Car Camera DVR Blackbox F900LH

2.5-inch Full HD 1080p Dashboard Car Camera DVR Blackbox F900LH
  • 2.5" TFT LCD Display
  • Records in Native 1920*1080 Progressive (1080P), Supports recording in 1920*1080@25fps, 1440@1080@30fps, 1280*720@30fps, 640*480@30fps
  • 180 Degree swivel lens, 130 Degree Field-of-View
  • Supports up to 32GB SD card (not included), HDMI Port, MiniUSB Port
  • Loop recording

The only thing this camera does; is produce good quality videos. The instruction manual was lost in translation and is more of a set-up guide then a owners manual.There was no detail instructions of the features on the settings. But with some hit and miss' you can figure it out.

Pros:

Takes good quality videos. It uses about 1.7 GB memory for a 10 minute loop.

Loop recording works; allowing you different loop time options and overwriting older videos when the card becomes full

The suction cup window mounts is very secure and allows for several adjustments; allowing you in conjunction with the monitor able to rotate 270 degrees, and the lens rotating 180 degrees; multiple options in mounting your camera to the windshield.

The camera does stops recording when you turn off the car; and turns on and starts recording when you start the car.

Cons:

The motion sensor does not work. One time it worked; another time it recorded one minute loops; and while going 60 MPH it would stop recording and the the camera would shut off.

Auto shut-off does not work. I have the auto shut-off set for five minutes; but every time when I shut off the car; the camera records for thirty seconds and then shuts off.

Tripod is useless.

Had trouble inserting the memory card. Had to use a pen to install and latch the card in place.

I tried updating my Garmin Nuvi with the USB cable that came with camera. The Garmin had a fit (threw the cable away).

The HDMI did not work. I use the cable that was supplied and my own. The Sony Bravia showed that is was hooked up to the camera but no video or audio played on the TV.

Has digital zoom instead of a optical zoom.

Has a one year warranty; but did not include any warranty information.

Can use as a PC camera; I don't think so. No matter what I did I could not get out of mass storage mode when the camera is connected to the computer with a USB cable.

I have included three driving situations in the video. First part is driving on a sunny day with some shadows. The next part is driving at night, driving into a small town. The third part is driving about thirty minutes before sunrise. This was recorded in 1080P onto a class 10 SDHC 32 GB card.

Buy 2.5-inch Full HD 1080p Dashboard Car Camera DVR Blackbox F900LH Now

The user manual doesn't make sense, written in poor english and with poorly drawn (and labeled) images. There is no indication of the amount of recording time (based on memory card size) or a complete list of options selectable from the menu items. The material is cheaply made.

The camera DOES however produce clear images (moving and still) and through testing I found the avi fies are limited to ten minutes each, when run overnight it will fill up the disk (memory module) and delete the older material in order to write new data (the main purpose) but that limited a 32gbyte module to two hours of actual avi files.

There is a socket to attach a tripod to (like normal cameras) but a strap holder prevents its use, two tripods that work for other cameras were unable to attach to the screw socket.

Battery life is extremely poor, after charging overnight it could not run more that 30 minutes on a full charge. An external power source will be required for anything over 20 minutes (car charger was supplied)

Excellent little Camera. The Picture is really great! The motion detection also works great. The battery was a big surprise, it last really a long time for such a small battery. It last about 2 hours or more. You have to charge the battery three times,and completely exhaust it three times to get the full benefit. I can tell you this is a great

little camera. Well worth the money. THANK YOU AMAZON!!!!!!!

Husky Liners Custom Fit Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Honda Civic Models (Tan)

Husky Liners Custom Fit Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Honda Civic ModelsThis weather set does, for the most part, its job very well. And while this Husky Liner set isn't our first, I also realize that Husky Liners while less expensive, are no where near the quality of Weathertech.

The overall fit is fairly good, the thickness of the mat is a little thin, but the overall appearance is lacking. It simply looks like cheap plastic rather than a nicely molded, textured set from Weathertech.

Without a doubt, this set, covering both front and rear floors is certainly less expensive than a Weathertech, I can't say it's worth the savings. Make no mistake, I've had multiple sets of Husky Liners and all of which have proved excellent protection against the elements making their way on the carpet. It simply comes down to overall appearance and durability that they lack. After about a year, the edge start to curl which then allows for more dirt or mud to find their way onto the carpet.

While it blocks 90% of the dirt, it doesn't do anywhere near as well as the Weathertechs.

Comes down to this. It is an inferior product in comparison to Weathertech in both appearance and functionality. However, this Husky Liner set comes with both front and rear mats and still is less expensive than just the front mats of a Weathertech.

Are there better mats out there? Yes. Are there better mats out there in this price range? Probably not.

Audiovox 5BCR07P Remote Replacement Transmitter for APS997A

Audiovox 5BCR07P Remote Replacement Transmitter for APS997AHad Audiovox Prestige remote lock/unlock with alarm installed on 2002 Honda Civic LX by a local dealer four years ago. Have been quite satisfied with the product as no theft or damage has been done though I work in not-so-nice area. The remote transmitter was working well though the screen quit functioning after a year and half until I left it in the rain for 4 hours while playing golf. Thus, I needed a replacement transmitter. I actually had 5BCR03P, and by internet, I learned that 5BCR07P is the updated version and would work with my security system. By the way, the original store that installed it said it no longer carried the transmitter and if I get it via internet, they would program it for $35.

Since the product did not come with instruction to program it, I had to obtain it using Audiovox website. It took several trial and error and probably disturbed my neighbors, but I got it done. Important key is to know where the valve is, and push and release three times until you hear the response, then push the button on the transmitter button you want to program for several seconds until you get the desired action. (I initially pushed unlock button by mistake, so unlock button lock the doors and lock button did the reverse. Confusing.) Otherwise, I am quite happy that now I have a great looking remote, which many people think it is cell phone.

The transmitter was identical to the one I had broken. The item came with a scratch on the screen, no protection in the little box. This item is supposed to be new??? Also, no instructions on how to program. Couldn't waste time in fighting them about it, took it to an alarm place and got charged $40 for programming. No deal at all. Transmitter still has flaws with delay activation. Don't know what to do.

Well the remote that was sent had two blue buttons and says Prestige on the unit. Nothing that says Audiovox. I have seen these advertised and did not want a copy. Paid $55+ for an original remote replacement from AUdiovox not for a imitation of the an Audivox remote.

I was quite taken back that it was not what was advertised and I am sending back. I did find this Prestige replacement for a lot less, but did not want a bootleg of the original.

Not Nice.

Griffin Technology PowerPod Firewire Auto Charger for iPod

Griffin Technology PowerPod Firewire Auto Charger for iPod
  • Convenient cigarette lighter adapter charges iPod while you drive
  • Charges in both standby mode and while playing music
  • Fits into any 12V accessory outlet or car lighter jack
  • Includes 4-foot cable with dock connector on one end, Firewire port on the other (connects to PowerPod)
  • Compatibility: iPod nano (1G and 2G), iPod mini, 3G iPod, 4G iPod with click wheel, iPod Color, iPod Video

I'm not someone that spends all day on the road, but I do take enough trips and even use my iPod around town. Ipod car chargers can incredibly overpriced as can a simple firewire cable. So It's a bargin to get not only a car charger, but an extra firewire cable, so I can leave one plugged into my Mac all the time.

Buy Griffin Technology PowerPod Firewire Auto Charger for iPod Now

Looking for a car charger, I noticed this one had a removable FireWire cable which meant I could use any other cable I want. Now that I've upgraded to the new iPod (I got a new 15 GB) I was suprised to discover that it works with the new iPods too. I just use the dock-to-FireWire cable that comes with the new iPod and it works perfectly. Even IF I buy an extra dock cable, it's still less than the Belkin charger at 40 bucks. Plus I can use it interchangeably with my wife's iPod (my old one ;).

All in all, the PowerPod is a great value, flexable and future-proof. You can't ask for much more. I don't hesitate recommending this iPod charger to anyone.

When I initially bought my iPod Mini I did not purchase this, but I soon found out if you play your iPod constantly like I do, you will be in dire straights if you don't have one. Some people will complain that the portion that goes in the cigarette lighter is loose ow whatnot keep in mind that different cars have different lighter sizes although they may vary slightly. I drive a Nissan Maxima and it fits very well...the cord is a wee bit short in my opinion but still worth the investment to keep your iPod playing.

This is my second (and counting) Griffin accessory for my iPod mini. First I bought the iTrip transmitter, and then I picked up this dandy little gadget since I was using my mini so much more and kept forgetting to plug it in at night. I like that the wire disconnects from the power unit to hook up to the USB port on my computer to update my mini. It is sooooooooo easy to use and helps since I travel a lot for hockey. Definitely a bargain at twice the price.

I've had this product for about a month now and have had no noise or interference with my iPod mini. It charges while it plays, and I have had it plugged in w/o the car running (no longer than 1hr), and the car battery didn't die. I use it with the Griffin iTrip with great results. I used it on an 8hr drive from IL to MI and was very pleased. I will be making the same trip home and back to school again soon and suggest this product to anyone who makes road trips.
