I got my setup installed a few days ago. I got all the stuff for $20 at my local sound shop.
I noticed that when I remote start my car now, it doesn't hesitate. Before it used to churn too long sometimes and it sounded kinda bad. Other than that I haven't noticed anything too noticeable, but then again I never have had any complains with my car. I love my car.
take a look and feel free to comment.

it doesnt matter if his stuff is good or not and saving $5 absolutely doesnt matter either..
actually it will cost more than his stuff if i do it myself as well..what i want is the experience and the feeling of succeed when i finish it..like "OH i made it! im genius" things like this..lol
if u wanna just buy stuff and install it urself, its all good go ahead..but i just wanna do it myself completely independent..i learn lots of things by doing that..and it worth all those money, time, and effort..thats all about it..
manual of a power wire that im gonna buy for this mod states that it resists temperature range -40 to 60 C..is it enough?
i think engine bay would get much hotter than that..
its hpm power wire
yea man its enough...just remember its usually used for power wire for an amp and goes into the engine bay and to the battery why would they use wire where its plastic shell would melt? its heavy duty wire..
Most 4 AWG power cable from the audio manufacturers has a rating of 105 degrees Celcius for the insulation. This is plenty high for the engine bay. I would recommend something along those lines, anything lower and you could risk melting the insulation depending on where you run it.....
