While Install Bay (Metra) list this kit as a 0 gauge kit, we believe it be more like a 1 or 2 gauge kit as there is a significant amount of insulation and not as much copper as there is in the 0 gauge kits from Kicker, Streetwires, Stinger and Monster Cable kits we sell.

I'm probably going to have to sell this kit on ebay, however I'll have to make sure when I do that I do NOT advertise this as a 0 gauge kit. That's because the wire they are trying to pass off as 0 gauge is probably more like 2 gauge, and the 4 gauge wire in the kit is more like 8 gauge. At first glance, the wire looks nice but when you strip it, you will see that it's almost all insulation and very little wire itself.

The accessories that it comes with (distribution/fuse blocks) are nice, but that defeats the purpose when I will not be able to use the wire because this was not what I had in mind when I ordered this kit. I don't blame sonic, but the company (install bay) needs to stop misrepresenting their wire sizes.
