**** eBay...

I bought THIS auction. It is for my brother for his birthday, my mom got him an amp and I got him the wiring and and gave him my old subs.

So anyway, it came today.. Problem is, the wires are 8 guage, not 4 guage. It says on the wire's insulation "4 Guage High Strand Power Cable." Scam?.. I emailed them, and am waiting for a reply.

What could I do? I compared it to my 4 guage wiring in my car (to be sure I wasnt delusional) and it is about half the size of my 4 guage. The insulation of the wires is very thick, and is the size of my 4 guage kit, but the actual wire inside is only 8 guage.

Do you think I will have to send this one back? Because I rippped the package open... If that matters, this is the first problem I ever had on eBay. Sucks.. I guess I should have gotten the more expensive kit.

i have just learned about this. someone said that the wire ga. is measure by the outside insulation and not the wire inside. i just bought some s**ty wire off ebay. 8 ga. but looks like 10ga. i would spend the extra money and get the real stinger wire. those kits are a reasonable price and look real nice.

x2+1, seriously

i can't fit my Welding Supply 1/0 into the same terminals i can fit my name brand 1/0 into without trimming the WS wire

btw knuconceptz offers some real affordable and quality amp kits. you should look into it. and wire guage is meaured by the gauge of the wire, it isnt insulation gauge.

make sure to leave negative feedback, and specifally explain how he scams people with the wire gauge, and no one will buy from him again.

it is likely he doesnt have proper 4 gauge wire, i'd ask for a refund instead of an exchange.

i'd rather get more than i paid for and have to trim extra wire.
