thats what i got from wallyworld.

I saw this kit at Walmart last weekend too and it looked like a good deal, but I wasn't sure about the quality of Schosche stuff so I didn't buy it yet. I checked out their website though and it looks very professional.

I bought their installation kit to put my new Alpine head unit in, so hopefully it is quality stuff!

The lowest I managed to get them to go was $25, most were around $30+40, and didn't look all to much better quality than the walmart one.

As long as the jacketing is the size of 4 and 8 there is no problem, and as long as they say it's 4 GA or Gauge and not AWG then they're good. AWG is the measured standard of the internal metal cable inside the jacket, so all 4 AWG wire is the same size.

I love the 8 or 10 gauge kits that are 1800 watts.

...yeah... 1800 ILS watts

Just think about how many ppl buy those 1800 watt 10gauge kits and then go to a shop to have them installed only to find out the just bought speaker wire
hahaha...
