Grounding kit...as in adding additional grounds for additional stereo equipment?

Wire is wire...just get some nice low gage wire with quality shielding.

Why would you need to keep electrical system to stay "stable" ?... How much more stable is the original wiring ?

dont think the brand would matter, just depending what gauge it is, i believe i have (4)4 gauge custom wires, still have to do the alternator but definitely u can feel the difference when idle and with electronics turned on, still need voltage meter to measure accurately

grounding kit is SO easy to do. i did the Big 3 upgrade on my vehicle plus a couple extra just in case. just buy ur own wire and do it, i ordered 4GA from ebay and it was around 20bucks for 8ft and a bag of 4GA o ring terminals was around 8 bucks.
