Crap wiring kits...Metra AK01

[VWBobby 10+ year member]

Just a heads up...

I purchased this kit (Metra AK01) because it was supposed to be a pro "3600 watt" kit.... I'm only running 1700RMS.

It advertises 0 gauge mains, 4 guage, etc....Yeah Right! The outside diameter might be that, but there's no way the wire is that. Not only that, its clearly copper clad aluminum, not OFC...

I have some older Phoenix Gold and Stinger wire that is 100x better than this and is a true 4 gauge and true 8 gauge....

I didn't measure what the actual gauge of the wire is, but it definitely isn't what is on the package! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/pissed.gif.9f665f96bc89e98e708dabd4580bb591.gif

Any other kits that are not as advertised, post them up here....!

I was looking at pics of wire for my next setup and now I know why everyone on here preaches Knu wire

plsu they are pretty cost efficient compared to Big name brands that actually sell decent wire.

Stinger's power wires are really flexible and soft, I like them.
