Divini Sound Solutions Amplifier Kit
A complete 8 gauge install for a smaller amplifier: power, ground, signal, remote and speaker wire, all 100% oxygen-free copper, with an 80A ANL fuse.
Many budget amp kits use copper clad aluminum (CCA), which is aluminum wire with a thin copper coating. Aluminum has noticeably higher resistance than copper, so a CCA cable of the same gauge drops more voltage and runs hotter at the same current. Every conductor in this Divini kit is 100% oxygen-free copper, so the gauge on the label carries the current that gauge is supposed to carry, and your amplifier sees the voltage it was designed for.
Best fit: Smaller amplifiers up to about 500 watts RMS, such as a compact four channel or a modest monoblock.
Rule of thumb: 8 gauge for amplifiers up to about 500 watts RMS, 4 gauge up to about 1,000 watts RMS, and 1/0 gauge above that. Long runs or big current draws push you up a size.
If your amplifier's own fuses add up to more than this kit's 80A ANL fuse, step up to a heavier kit. The other Divini kits are the DCAK4-ANL, DCAK0-ANL and DCAK0-2AMP, and every one is on our Divini page. Still choosing the amplifier? Start with our car amplifiers.
Mount the fuse holder within 18 inches of the battery positive terminal, so the full length of the power wire is protected. Run the power wire away from the RCA cables, ideally down the opposite side of the vehicle, to keep alternator noise out of the signal. Keep the ground short and bolt it to clean, bare chassis metal; the 3 foot ground cable in this kit is sized for exactly that.
