Item description

KnuKonceptz Kolossus amp installation kit’s feature our top of the line Kolossus Fleks power and ground cables. Made up of ultra flexible pvc and ultra fine tinned strands of oxygen free copper (OFC), the Kolossus Kable is the standard for which all others are compared to. The KOL-AK8 amp kit provides 18 feet of blue marine grade, full copper battery power wire and 3 feet of translucent black (smoke) ground wire. The KnuKonceptz FH-44 fuse holder with a 60A Mini ANL fuse is provided within the KOL-AK8 amp install kit. The fuse holder does not come installed within the cable, this allows the installer to place the inline fuse holder in an optimum location during installation. It also allows the installer to extend the power wire 1-3′ by using the inline fuse holder to add cable to the main run (leaving the 18′ as one unit and using the FH-44 to “splice” a few feet of wire)

Signal for your 2 channel amplifier installation kit is carried by the Klarity Kable 5 Meter (16.25′) RCA Cable. The Klarity RCA Cable is a copper braid shielded coaxial RCA that uses a Hybrid metal/molded RCA termination with strain relief for a durable, low loss connection to your head unit and amplifier. A separate remote turn on lead is included. This wire is connected to your radio’s power antenna lead or amp turn on lead (refer to your head unit’s manual) Your amplifier’s output is sent through KnuKonceptz Kord 14 gauge speaker wire, 20 feet of 14 gauge blue speaker wire is included with the kit.

Rated in Amps, Not Watts: Here at KnuKonceptz, you will not find a random watt rating on our packaging or in a giant font across our images. No, we rate our kits the same way electricians rate the wiring in your home, in amps, by following industry standards.

True American Wire Gauge: KnuKonceptz was founded on the concept – Give people more for their money. Bang for the Buck, that’s what we are about! Which is why our wire always meets or exceeds the rated gauge. Cheaper wire is usually just that, undersized wire with oversized insulation.

Engineering, not “Market-teering”: Let’s be honest, we’re not a speaker company marketing wire. No, we are cable and distribution experts. Your electrical system is our focus and our products are rated using real world physics, like Ohm’s Law(see watt rating).

Plain and Simple Specifications

All KnuKonceptz Cable Products clearly state these specifications

- Wire type – CCA or OFC

These materials are commonly used, but not commonly stated when shopping online. Know what you are purchasing. Both metals are capable of performing up to their rated loads.

- American Wire Gauge

Wire gauge is crucial to powering your system correctly. Undersized cable will create unsafe conditions and may shorten your amplifier’s life.

- Max Load (amps)

Wire’s ampacity changes with gauge and materials. KnuKonceptz does not rate cable based on watts. Amplifier manufactures do not always truthfully state the output of their product, check your on board fuses!

True American Wire Gauge (AWG) Products

Using American Wire Gauge standards, the gauge of stranded wire is determined by the total area of the conductor.
To calculate this you would take the area of each strand and add it together. This area, in square mm, then determines gauge.
Diameter is not as critical with stranded wire, this is due to the tiny air gaps between each strand. Diameter may fluctuate with strand size and how tightly wound the rope of the cable is.
The smaller the number, the larger the wire, until you reach zero or aught (0). From zero, you then have double aught (00 or 2/0), three aught (000 or 3/0) …
Based on AWG, the true gauge of this cable is 8 Gauge

Tinned Copper – What the Pros Recommend

When bare copper is exposed to oxygen, it oxidizes over time (turns brown/green).
These contaminants are damaging to the cable’s ability to conduct electricity.
Tin provides a protective barrier from oxygen to the bare copper underneath.
By adding a thin layer of tin to each strand, the cable is no longer able to oxidize.
Tin does not react with oxygen and therefore the cable will never change color or have any change in its ability to conduct electricity

Klarity RCA – Clearly Better Sound

Copper core, braid shielded 2 Channel RCA Cable.
Hybrid metal/molded RCA terminations with strain relief for a durable low loss connection.
Easy to grip, injection molded end for easy on, easy off.
Red / Black channel color coding for easy identification.
Ultra Flex transparent black PVC.

Frequent questions

How many watts can this amp kit handle?

At KnuKonceptz, we do not use “watts” to rate our amp kits. This is a very inaccurate method to determine what the proper gauge wire required for your amp installation. There are many amp manufactures and not all of them represent the output of their product accurately. Please refer to your amplifier’s fuse rating, this is a number a manufacture can not fake, well they could but it would put their product in harms way! Add up the fuses on the end of your amp (Two 30A fuses = 60A total draw) If this number is under 60A, this kit will fit your application. If over 60A, a larger gauge wire would be required.
Can I alter this kit in any way before purchasing?

Our amp kits are made in large batches to reduce cost, which is passed onto you. We can not alter them in any way. Should you need to make alterations, you would have to purchase the items individually from our shopping cart.
I need a longer power wire, what can I do?

The fuse holder does not come installed within the kit’s cable.This allows the installer to place the inline fuse holder in an optimum location during installation. It also allows the installer to extend the power wire 1-3Ft by using the inline fuse holder to add cable to the main run (leaving the 18Ft as one unit and using the FH-44 to “splice” a few feet of wire)
