Gordgee's grounding kit or other kits?

Planning on buying the Gordees grounding kit this week. Does anyone have any pros or cons from using this vendor. Any other kits that I should look into??

We have two vendors here. Gordee and SxExC. Gordee was first with his design but i haven't heard about his stuff for a while. Last i talked to him was like 3 years back when i first bought my G35.

SxExC is on this site like hourly for the most part, so his CS is a lot better and faster. I haven't bought any of his products but plenty of people like his stuff.

I think blackbetty has a kit out as well.

I dont want to get into the whole does it work or not thing. I'll just say, i dont plan on running them for my car. But those are you main options. I think SxExC would be the one to buy from if you want one of these.

Thank you for the response. I already contacted SxExC and from my understanding he only makes an 8 gauge kit and I really want a 4 gauge kit. Although SxExC stated that there is no distinguishable difference between the 4g or 8g, I am running a larger than normal stereo system and want to ensure that the ground is the best possible. I contacted Black Betty this week and he is not making them anymore, but has some leftover kits available still. Gordee's has a website and the name now is Grounding Gear LTD. I have been in contact with him and this is the route that I am leaning towards. Just want to make sure that others have had good experiences with his product and service. So far I am impressed with how thorough he is in our e-mail exchanges. Here is the link to his website http://www.groundinggear.com/Groundi...ome%20Page.htm

Thanks

If your that big into audio, why not have the guy installing your system to cut and create you some grounding wires. For car audio, you just gotta do the "big 3" that was the term in the 90's when i was look into things. The only difference should be the amount of wires one kit has and they go to things like the trans, ECU, BCM, which is mainly for engine performance not for audio performance.

Running Gordgee's 10 wire kit as well, with nothing but positive feedback for him.

I will add this, if you're running a large stereo system, you'll definitely notice a difference in volume thanks to the extra grounding.

We'll see...I just ordered a grounding kit. Was going to build one myself, but managed to find one where the cost is not much more than the cost of parts.

Let's see if this is all placebo or not

i made my own 14 wire kit with gold terminals and everything is solder good for no loose connections over time with shrink tube and it only cost me 45$ gold terminals are a little expensive but well worth it

watch out for some of the kits out there most of them are copper terminals and use crimping instead of soldering

Sweet thanks for the feedback. Now I just need to get a money order sent to him. I am going to get the blue kit and he is going to make up a red 4 gauge wire for my alternator to the battery.
