Our take on the Kicker 09ZCK44 4-channel Amp Kit

by Buck Pomerantz

Your 4-channel amp needs power wires large enough to supply the high current and constant voltage necessary to deliver top performance in your sound system. Kicker's 09ZCK44 amplifier power wiring kit supplies everything you'll need to send power and signal to your amplifier and speakers. The kit works with any amplifier with a fuse rating of up to 100 amperes. Kicker makes the 4-gauge cable from oxygen free copper wire so you can count on maximum power transfer.

The 16.4-foot 4-channel RCA patch cable uses twisted pair construction to keep the noise out of the signal going from your car stereo to your amp. Kicker includes 60 feet of fresh 16-gauge speaker wire so you can be sure your speakers are getting the best possible signal from your amp.
