So much for so little!
  
This review is from: DB Link PK4Z 4 Gauge Power Series Amplifier Installation Kit (Electronics)
I searched high and low for an affordable 4 gauge amp install kit for an install I was about to do on my personal vehicle. The major name brand kits are near or well over $100 for 4 gauge and even though there are a plethora of "4 gauge" kits on ebay cheap, they are not true 4 gauge stranded wire (I even inquired about one and they replied it was 4 gauge insulation and not true 4 gauge wire inside). Whether or not you buy this kit, do the research and make sure you know what you are getting. I feel for the money, this kit is a great value.

This kit has true 4 gauge stranded wire for the power and ground cables (4 gauge wire measures almost 1/4" in diameter). The cables have good insulation and are flexible. The kit also includes corrugated split loom to protect the power cable inside the engine compartment. It also comes with nice 16 gauge speaker wire which has small "+" symbols marked on the entire length of one of the pairs so that it is easy to know which is positive and negative on both ends when making connections from amp to speaker. The price has recently went up about ten bucks since I purchased it a month ago, but it is still a great value for the price. I can not comment on the RCA cable included because I am using a 5 channel amp and will be using a monster brand 6 channel rca cable instead of the included rca cable. It also comes with gold plated connectors and a nice o-ring sealed fuse holder and 60 amp fuse. There are also small black cable ties included. Overall, I am very pleased with the components and felt it was a great deal for what is included.

Don't expect to get pure copper wire
This review is from: DB Link PK4Z 4 Gauge Power Series Amplifier Installation Kit (Electronics)
After reading the reviews on this and similar products here I picked this because people said it was actually 4 gauge wire. I measured it and I'd say it is. The diameter for 4 AWG is 0.20 inches and this measured out at about 0.24, but since it's stranded I assume the measured diameter should be larger than the solid spec.

However one thing for sure, it is not pure copper wire. This wire is copper clad aluminum (CCA) which is aluminum wire with a thin copper plate on each strand. There is nothing wrong with CCA as long as you understand that aluminum has higher resistance than copper. 4 AWG copper is 0.253 ohms/1000 feet, 4 AWG aluminum is 0.408 ohms/1000 foot, which is about the same as 6 AWG copper. An aluminum wire needs to be about two gauges larger to carry the same current. So think of this kit as being a really good 8 AWG kit!

I expect all the low cost amp kits use the same kind of wire. This is how you can get such a "deal" on the wire. If you are curious, a web search for these terms will turn up plenty of information.

great install kit!!!!

I was skeptical at first as if this kit was truly 4ga wire because it was only [...] bucks! well it definitely 4ga. this is a great kit for a non comp install. the RCA and remote wire are kind of thin but not bad. this is a great kit for anyone wanting to push 1k plus watts.

This is a great installation kit for the price. I agree with a previous reviewer that the remote wire is a bit thin, but everything worked out fine.
