being a marine kit that wire comes with an equal length of ground wire as it does power, other then that it is just a standard amp kit with an ok price. They sell kits as wally world now as well as most autoparts stores depending on what you want to install.

finding a decent autoparts store with wire for me means travelling 1hr+
wth is a wally world lol?
finding as much wire as that kit has is impossible for that price as far as i have found.
amazon has a kit similiar (called brand-x think its same thing) for like 300$...

you do not need as much ground wire as you do power wire and you will get what you pay for. It is great to see these cheaper brands next to a good brand, the insulation is 2x as thick, the copper is half as much..........

wally world = walmart. If you do not have one of them with in 30 mins call their corporate office and they will build one by the end of the weekend. As he said there are a number of places online, but watch out about buying the cheapest no-name wire.

I agree with ttocs. You get what you pay for. If you're planning a decently powered system, don't skimp on the wiring of all things or you may find yourself replacing them soon anyways and paying even more than if you just did it right the 1st time. All wiring is not equal.

Here's some stinger kits to look at (I'm sure you can find it cheaper elsewhere, ebay,etc...but at least it's quality wiring)

doesnt matter if its a crap kit or not, they no longer sell it at that price. the only place that has it in stock is amazon, and they want like 300$ for it.

i've seen the same EXACT wiring in another brand -- but for like 60$ for the 30 foot runs.
im guessing it was an old sale...

more importantly, im looking for a ****load of wire for wirin up an amp, sub, component speakers, etc etc - and upgrading the big 3.

plus i need to make all new battery cables since mine are takin a **** - thinkin trunk mount but cant find the battery box i want, and am thinkin if gettin an optima soon. i've been contemplating rewiring pretty much the whole damn car and running everything to the motor so that its hidden and tucked.

thanks for the info
