i was looking on ebay and im kinda perticular but i want one with a red/blue power wire...black ground of course...and i dont car about the signal wires im going to use my current ones for the sub and to turn on the amp...(they ahve a 3rd wire in the middle) the signal wires with the kit need to not have the 3rd wire....speaker wire can be whatever...anyone have a kit that matches what i want or have bought one before that would match what i want?

u dont really need a amp wiring kit if you can find the color wires u want in the right gauge and a good thickness of the protecting wire. just pay for foot (home depot, local store) but then again y do u care about the wire color when a good install youll see maybe one foot of wire

^^I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes (I'm no electrical engineer or anything though), but I know a lot of wires made for houses doesn't use as many strands, which won't hold up in an automotive environment anyway.
That's the way to go. The 4 gauge is better and it would be a waste to rip your car apart for some new wire.

Home wire is typically solid, which makes it less flexible, but wire is wire as far as will it work goes

Stranded wire carries more current with less resistance than the same size solid wire. Not to mention that (unless you live in California) the walls of your house don't move or vibrate like an automotive environment. Solid wire is used in homes because it's cheaper.

No, stranded wire has slightly higher (negligible, really) resistance because it's not as dense. And don't say skin effect because there is none at DC.

Go off this chart .. http://www.the12volt.com/info/recwirsz.asp .
Figure the rms power that one power wire is supporting / length of run = reccomended gauge size .
