[QUOTE="yiorgaks, post: 8257706, member: 660778"] The title is pretty self-explanatory for this thread. Just wondering what everyone's take is of the different brands of amp kits out there. I only ask because of a crappy install I had done at Oxford Auto Sound (in Toronto) in which they used a generic off-brand to wire my system in my Civic. Aside from the part where they damaged my dashboard, wired my AM/FM antenna incorrectly, and did an overall sloppy job of laying down and organizing the wires, I recently had an issue in which my subwoofer stopped playing and nothing was being outputted from the amp according to my voltmeter. After I took it to Auto-Links (a much more reputable installer in Toronto), they were able to localize the problem to a torn RCA cable behind the head unit. I of course replaced the RCA cable and the problem resolved itself however it made me question the difference in brands between the various amp kits available on the market. The installer over at Auto-Links highly recommended Wirez due to its quality and reputability but I just wanted to see what everyone else's take on the matter was and maybe make this thread as a source of information for those looking at installing a new system in their vehicle. I look forward to your responses. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
