I would recommend this for an entry level system that won't be upgraded in the future. The gauge of the wire is very thin. But item is as described. Comes with everything necessary.

Purchased this kit and could deal with maybe 1 problem, but I had 2. The remote turn on wire gauge is too thin and will break at connection point even when using connectors. The RCA wires are low grade and do not stand up to too much bending, as they will break continuity and give you interupted feedback from your receiver. I will replace this kit immediately with a higher quality amp wiring kit.

This wiring kit is not a 8 gauge it is more like a 10 or 12. The power wire is not long enough to go from the battery to the trunk. And cheap remote wire. But hey you get what you pay for. I don't recommend this.

I bought this wiring kit from sonicelectronix and is an excellent value. The gauge is probably not accurate to specs but for the price is worth it.
