I went with two kits for various reasons, but mostly because the two kits were cheaper than the parts for one 2AWG kit with a dist. block....
That reminds me how nice it is to have a dad that owns an electrical company
To my trunk (run underneith the car) -- 25ft of 2/0 (00) gauge wire

nice lookin setup and BMS i promise you that you will get better currentflow w/ REAL car audio wire... im assuming you're running 2/0-stranded wire for industrial load. thats made for high current AC primarily, plus has a VERY VERY low strand count compared to car audio wire, but if you know of an "electrical" wire that transfers current as well as purposeful car audio wire, lemmie know and ill hafta look into it (i work for an eletrical wholesale distributor)

I just checkout out Knukonceptz and their stuff seems nice. I wish i had stumbled upon them when i initially did my install. Are you using the Karma interconnects?

BTW, I hooked up my Clarion DRX9675z headunit and Alpine MRV-T420 on Tuesday. The Alpine runs the Polk 6x9'* out back right now until I finish the kickpanels. I had to do some major EQ work to even get it listenable with no front stage. Actually, until I can make an amp rack, the T420 is wedged behind the baby seat, with the wiring running in from the ski pass-thru. It looks extremely ghetto, but it works. Hoo rah. 110W RMS/ch is much better than deck power no matter what speakers you run!
