Description
The Poem 8-Gauge Two-Channel Amplifier Wiring Kit – Max 700W
The Poem 8-Gauge Two-Channel Amplifier Wiring Kit is an affordable, all-in-one solution for installing a moderate-power car audio amplifier. Designed with budget-conscious buyers in mind, this kit includes everything needed for powering a two-channel amp. While it delivers convenience and value, performance depends heavily on the materials used—most likely Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA) instead of premium Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC).
Key Features
8-Gauge Power & Ground Wire – Suitable for low-to-mid power amplifiers up to ~600W RMS.
Max Power Rating: 700W – Marketed peak rating; continuous RMS capacity will be lower, especially with CCA wiring.
Two-Channel Design – Includes dual RCA interconnect cables and speaker wire for a 2-channel amplifier.
Complete Kit – Provides all essentials for installation: power & ground wires, RCA cables, remote lead, speaker wire, fuse holder with fuse, and terminals.

Key Considerations
CCA vs. OFC: Likely CCA, which is cheaper but less conductive than OFC, leading to more voltage drop and heat under load.
True Wire Gauge: Generic kits sometimes exaggerate thickness with heavy insulation, meaning less conductor than true-to-spec 8AWG.
Safe Use Case: Best for budget-friendly setups under ~400–500W RMS. Pushing it to the full advertised 700W (especially RMS) could risk overheating or limiting performance.
Best For
Entry-level systems and OEM replacements.
Budget-conscious users upgrading a two-channel amplifier.
Installations where cost is more important than long-term efficiency or maximum output.
The Poem 8-Gauge Kit is a practical, low-cost choice for powering smaller amplifiers. However, for demanding systems—or buyers wanting maximum performance and reliability—an upgrade to a true OFC wiring kit (such as Eyton or Recoil) is strongly recommended.
