I was having fun with someone the other day comparing Lightning Audio, Scosche, Metra and Stinger...There is quite a visable difference between them.
Typically you would want to find a high strand count, very thin, Very tightly wound. This is the prime reason you dont see competitors using welding cable. Although it is a Much cheaper alternative the thread count is extremely low, and strands are extremely thick, making it almost impossible for tight bends as well.

The power wire and remote and ground wire will all be fine in that kit. Just to let you know the 4g wire will make it into the back seat. The RCAs are fine for subs, not for highs, **** load of engine whine. If you use that kit, you will either need to extend the power wire like i did...which was a pain twisting each strand together and covering it all in solder, or just use the splitter block type deal that comes with the kit, note you will only end up with 8g wire if you do this, which is fine for some people, but not for me when i amped all my highs and put more power to my subs.
