Mine works fine. No problems except the power wire slipped out of the fuse holder.. I didn't tighten it tight enough in the first place.

The 4 gauge Wal-Mart kit was pretty good for the price. Everything you need, basically, for $35 CAD ... Sure, the quality isn't great, but it's decent.
I'm talking about the old one as I have no experience with the new one.

the new one comes with what appeared to be an aluminum distro block (i drilled one out to fit larger wire to find out its not copper or brass at all... the main power wire is 5 gauge with a shitty *** crimp connector instead of the gold plated one they used to have. The fuseholder doesnt have any hole to screw it into anything. The smaller wire is 9 gauge. The terminals for the 9 gauge are also crappy quality. The old kit though was a great deal.

I wouldnt say that they're gone off the reservation as far as their wire gauging....just that they've gone to a smaller diameter cable than what was once sold in the Scosche kits.

Whereas the best Scosche kit that Wal-Mart used to sell had 4awg cable for main power coming from the battery and 8awg cable for amp power and ground supplies the current best Scosche kit gives you 5awg and 9awg cable, respectively.

Having said that - so long as your current needs can be met by that ^^^ size wiring then for the money, the Scosche kits are still a decent buy.
