I have used them, and they work alright. But I actually liked the Scoshe amp kits from Wal-Mart better. The Wal-Mart kits were easier to use, more flexible better crimp connects.

I am an installer and customers supply me with their own wire kits to use, so I have used quite a few kits.

Pyle kits are really nice I find but the RCA's they include will literally fall apart in your hands, the wire and connects are top notch though.

are their power wire ratings honest from what u've seen and had experience with them? (i.e. 1/0 ga. is actually real 1/0 ga. and not just all insulation etc.)

I think that they are honest, I never did a strand count or anything like that but they pass any side by side comparisons.

My opinion is, wire is wire, RCA's are very important and the 8-gauge wiring kit from raptor that I bought were pretty good, besides the copper innerconnects. I think they make very good cheap wiring kits. Something funny though I noticed, on the back of the packaing for the wire it said something like" Made in China with strict raptor requirements" thought it was pretty funny....and oh yeah there insulated nicely, oxygen free plastic, and there insulated thick, and the strand counts are correct.

I sell the stuff, not top notch. but GREAT quality for the prices. Just to confirm what stones said.. strand count is correct and on the same level as most other wire brands.
