Just curious Magma. For the same price (or probably lower), you could have got a branded Monster/Scosche/GZ wiring kit. Any reason why you preferred to go individual?

umm, well i have seen "scoshe"(the set at the same price point ,not the higher range ones)
purely MY opinion is that the individual wiring i got was better.

MOnster and GZ are very good however you should note that you will have to buy extra RCA if your gonna run all 4 speakers off the amp, in addition to that most kits come with limited speaker wire which will not be enough if you are gonna use components ( i got 15m and i still fell short by 2m!)

Secondly the speaker wire i got is OFC (at least i believe it is!) and 1.5mm sq.i felt it was VFM.

But more importantly i had fun buying everything seperately!
