Anyone tried these out Cadence CS2.65k

These are some cheap components I was looking to do for my cousin who is wanting a relatively inexpensive build in his eclipse. I know you can get better quality for more money but wanted to see if anyone had any input.

That's surprising to hear. I ordered cadence wire for my big 3 and it was just as thick as the kicker hyperflex that was my power wire.

Its suppose to be 14awg but my knu 16awg has a higher strand count. Its pure garbage I would be scared to run 1k threw it much less the 2k I had panned which assuming it was tru 14awg would have been ok. I will just run 12awg knu and cut some of the strands to get it to fit in my terminals.

A lot of people recommend cadence for a budget component set but I haven't read anything about which ones.

The cadence cwm6kit (?) is a good budget buy. 60 shipped iirc. I run 2 sets in mine and couldn't be happier for what they are.

Those are our value components, Not performance leaders, however they make a good upgrade from stock speakers.

If you do not plan on adding amps, and just want to upgrade speakers, consider getting some coaxiles.

It will save you time on the install, and work well off of HU power.
