Those things are usually just 2 components of the big 3 plus an extra couple grounds, done with #4 wire. For the price they charge for the kits you can buy 1/0 wire and some ring terminals and do it yourself. That way you can include the alt. to battery positive wire too.

Yea seriously.

Get ring terminals at Home Depot for ~2.95 and wire can be found anywhere.

Not sure what kinda system ur running, but 0-gauge might be a bit much for this upgrade. I'd stick with 4 gauge myself.
