About the Crutchfield CK10

Deliver the power your amp deserves
Deliver the power your amp deserves
Crutchfield's 10-gauge amplifier wiring kit contains the wire and hardware necessary to supply power to your amplifier safely, efficiently, and economically. This wiring kit does not include RCA patch cables or speaker wire. You may need to purchase those items separately, in order to complete your installation.
Power ratings and amp efficiency
Most amplifiers come in two distinct "Classes" of technology with different efficiencies and power wire size requirements. Class AB amps typically feature 50% to 60% efficiency, while Class D amps are usually 75% to 80% efficient. This Crutchfield wiring kit was designed to accommodate the energy demands of a Class AB amplifier with a total output of up to about 210 watts RMS, or a Class D amp with up to 325 watts RMS output.

Crutchfield wire
Crutchfield wire is made of oxygen-free copper, with no impurities that could raise its resistance to a signal's flow or add interference. Crutchfield wire meets all Consumer Technology Association (CTA-2015) standards for size, resistance, and insulation quality.

Great amplifier wiring kit! Easy to install and pretty straightforward. All the wire ends are soldered. The kit's fuse was a great peace of mind when directly connecting to the battery. Only complaint is the lack of labeling for each component may confuse a beginner.
