But if you don't feel like purchasing everything separate, that kit should work fine.
Just make sure it comes with a good pair of RCA's. Thats they key to a good signal. They are the inputs to pretty much tell your amp what to play.
The main parts in a amp kit are; (these need to be of best quality)
1. Power and Ground wire
2. RCA's for the signal input
3. Speaker wire (12-14 for subs) (14-~18/20 for speakers).
These are needed, but can be bought or made for a fraction of the cost most audio stores charge.
Remote wire, fuses, fuse blocks, and terminal clips.
Remote wire = $5.00 at walmart for 30ft of 18-22 ga.
Fuses = $2.99 for two ANL in line fuses at Radio Shack
Fuse block = $11 bucks at radio shack... or buy a couple of bolts/nuts and make your own for $2.0
Terminal clips= $3.00 at your local automotive store.

Yes, kicker has a fairly reputable name when it comes to wire and mid-grade speakers. I just can't see myself spending that much for a 4ga. wire kit. You only get around 21ft of 4ga wire.

haha, go check out her bio. Most of the products I use, come from her. Crutchfield actually took some pictures of the install and should have them on the Show case thread soon. I live 15 min from their office. The Focal amp she had is the one mounted on my back wall. You can checkout my build thread for that one.
