"Well made & carries the power well. It handles the power well & there is no cut offs. Good value for the quality of the product & the bass is excellent. My settings are currently on the lowest but the bass production can't be wronged."

Pros: flat speaker cable, good value for money
Cons: cables shorter than advertised, only 6 cable ties per kit
"I purchased two of these kits and was surprised when the ground lead wouldn't reach the amp from the chassis earth. I measured the 1m long cable and it was actually 82cm. Both kits were like this. I then measured the rest of the cables. All of the cut cables were shorter than advertised by approx 20cm in both of the kits. Somebody at Vibe needs a new ruler!
Other than the short measures on the cable length, the kit is pretty good value. The flat speaker cable is easy to route under carpets and the fuseholder is of reasonable quality. The RCA cables are nicely flexible too so again, easy to route. The kit includes 6 cable ties and they are very poor quality.
Bear in mind that if, like me, you need a full 1m ground lead, you'll run into problems."

"I rarely write reviews but thought I'd take the trouble to warn people off this product.
3 of the 4 phono plugs connections were broken. The soldering was so bad they didn't work at all. Took me ages to fathom the problem and, once I had, rather than removing all the wiring I'd just spent an age installing, I ended up having to buy a soldering iron and replacement plugs to get it working.
It's hard to blame whoever did the soldering entirely - the centre core of the phono cable has so few strands, and the plastic screening is so tightly fitted, it's almost impossible to strip the cable without breaking it.
For what it's worth, once fitted the sound quality was fine.
If you do buy this (and I really, really wouldn't), make sure you test the connections thoroughly before fitting so you can get a refund without too much trouble if needed.
Definitely would not recommend."

Pros: great value, easy to install
"With a boxed sub and amp already purchased I just needed some good value, decent quality wiring to finish the job. After searching around this brilliant Vibe kit proved to be just what I was after. The instructions covered all the bases (I'm a novice at this kind of thing) and I'm really happy with my purchase."

Pros: good quality wiring, plenty of cable ties, good instructions, excellent price
Cons: positive wire too short for larger cars
"Considering the price of this kit in comparison with the others, its a really good buy.
Took HOURS ro install under carpets/seats etc. but easy to wire up. The positive lead was ONLY JUST long enough though so beware if you have a large car, this was only a Corsa!
i did however use the original wiring grommet in the bulk head which took the wire about a foot out of the way but even so, this should be taken into account as not everyone wants to go drlling holes in such an important structural part.
Otherwise it was a good buy. Not used the flat speaker wire as yet it wasnt required. All wiring was of good quality and the fuse never blew like some have mentioned.
Good kit!"

Pros: good quality phonos, everything you need is there
"£20 wiring kits have always been a bit, well rubbish, to be totally honest, and I bought this one as a stop gap until I could get a full 0 gauge one as I'm running about 1500w RMS.
Runs a single 12" vibe space ii 12.4 with a Vibe A7 amp without too much trouble, although I did have to put a 60amp fuse in as the original one blew fairly quickly.
for someone running up to 800w or so this would be perfect, but anything above that is too much for this kit to handle.
But saying that, at 19.99 it certainly is really good value for money, and you could always run 2 sets of power cable if you wanted something a bit more serious."
