What was included in that kit?

-Power Cable
-Speaker wires
-Inline fuse and holder
-Remote wire
-Wire loom
-what else

I paid 40$ for my kit. What you can do is write down everything that is that kit, bring your list to Wallmart and compare it to their new line of product. Their new amp kit is pretty good if you ask me. Look at the one that includes 4 guage power cable

Please correct me if I am wrong, but 8 gauge is fairly small to push 1000 watts.

Personnaly, I don't think you got screwed, but I don't think you got the best either. But still seems like a good deal

tnx.

how much gauge do I need to use the 1000 W?

any suggestion that I can add to this system?

I would use 4Ga wire, to be safe. I was using 8Ga from my old 500W system when i upgraded to a 1200w amp. I wasn't going to change the wire, but i was worried about it getting too hot, so i changed it to the 4Ga. The system instantly sounded better too.

few things... that model amp is not 1000 watts. i work at a circuit city and we sell that amp there. it says 1000 watts on it, but that's the MAX power. in actuality the amp pushes about 350-400 watts. an 8-guage kit would be ideal for it.

the speakers, you did not get ripped off on, same for the wiring kit. $380 CAN is not too much for all of that stuff. It would probably translate to about $325 US.

the only way i would recommend you getting thicker wire (4 guage instead of 8 guage) would be if you were planning on upgrading to a bigger amp in the future.
