The problem is in order to get the $15 price per kit, Abusive had to order 100 feet of of the same-coloured four-gauge. Personally, the color doesn't really matter to me as long as the kit is functional. If you really need blue, you can try buying it from crutchfield.com

Look at the "Basic 4 Gauge Primary Wire". You can get it in blue at $1.25 per foot.

I believe Abusive bought them from efunctional.com

Although the terminals aren't yellow so you might have to do something creative to make yellow ones...

I might swing by saturday morning to say hi. I'll be down at Maxwell at 8:30AM getting the car serviced for the recall. If I'm out of there at a reasonable time I might be able to stop by. I think Wombat might live in my neck of the woods anyways.

Something doesn't look right. I tried ordering 3 units of the gold connector packs (5 connectors each), and it's $37 ground shipping???
