Sorry guys, not stepping on any toes, just adding my thoughts on this kit.

First, you wouldn't get any of the gains they talk about unless your car had really bad electrical grounds. In other words, with a newer car you might not see any difference in any way. I imagine it could make a difference in an older, rusted car but with the corrosion protection these balts have I can't see where it would do much.

Second, you can put this kit together yourself for probably less than $50, if you really think you need it. If you could get a copy of the installation instructions or parts list you could buy all the stuff locally and save a lot of bucks.

Just my 2 cents, your reality may differ.

Another thought, don't some of the car audio sites have instructions on how to run better ground wires?

i figure this kit would be good since doing this yourself might be labor intensive due to the battery in the trunk
