I wouldnt put Scosche on the reccomended list as most of there kits are flimsy cheap thin....


i would have to disagree with the scosche kits........i dont know about the ones you buy at wal-mart but the ones we selll are very nice, very sturdy and fit very well........


as far as batteries go

scosche= they also make some nice batteries....very much like the stinger batteries....


and whether you like the kits or not scosche makes some very nice wire......and rca's for that matter.....we have had several companies since opening side by side with scosche and they were the ones we elected to keep


not trying to sound like a scosche whore but i have heard this several times about scosche and it isnt true of the products we sell....

well i dont get to sell this equipement just use it...

if you dont sell it through your business it shouldnt be in your vehicle.....just my opinion but if the owner of a business has something in his vehicle that he doesnt sell, why would i buy what he does sell?

batts deka


of course you like deka......they probably make more lawn mower batteries than anyone....lol

I agree with you smoker. I just bought a dash kit, speaker adaptors, and wiring harness and they all seemed very sturdy and not cheap.

My list above was edited with the changes. I probably have misspelled some things.

for the money scosche makes pretty decent kits (not the walmart ones) but the best i have delt with would be metra they kick the crap out of everything else but they are higher priced.

well smoker to be honest i wouldnt make enough to sell them. i will be trying out some hifonics goliath woofers in the next couple of weeks. and i will be using mass destruction woofers when they are realeased and i sell both of them. and actually we dont use deka batteries at mtd and the deka battery i have in my truck is amazing and beats the hell out of optima for the price retail on them is 109 and there agm batts... but im trying to finanalize a deal with re for my club... and im trying to work something out so i dont have to pay the large buy in or the monthly up keep payment. i need to stay competative and unforunatly i dont have much that can do the same numbers as the mt untill the mass destruction subs are released i have to use these.

Wal-mart has it's own line of Scosche? lol

Isn't it the same stuff though? Or you think it's cheaper? I got my Scosche stuff from sounddomain.
