Question: Do you really feel/tell a difference. i was thinking about doing them but it seems to me the factory grounds are brand new and work fine.. i dont honestly think they do anything since our cars are new and the grounds are/should be good.

I felt a difference, but it is very min. Well worth the 40 bucks DIY. The factory ground is still new, but it doesn't u can add more to it in different areas.

I just did my ground wires this afternoon. Followed the guide off of k-series.com.. anyway, because I did this I was beginning to think that my radio antenna was'nt plugged into the back of my alpine or something... it was such bad reception... and now? Damn it's clear and it is louder... No more engine whine at all from my stero.. Anyway its worth the 40 or so DIY.. I did all my cables myself because that's the kind of guy I am... but I am sure happies kit works just as well.

You went and bought 4 gauge cable? and DIY
I was thinking of doing the same thing.

The whole process was even easier then I thought it would be... the only harder part was crimping the ends onto the 4 gauge cables.. I made that a sinch with a swag tool I had gotten from home depot... Made it really easy to crimp them on good.

Dofu,
What do you think if that Apexi power conditioner. It looks interesting, but I haven't seen any info other than marketing blah on it..?

How many people would be interested in the power conditioner? I would be able to get these but I would need to know how many people want them.

Its going to boil down to price for me. I would most likely be interested though as EP's seem to respond well to the additional grounding etc.

i had seen this over at inlinefour.com a few months ago, & wondered what the box did to make it worth the price.

That's it. And that's the question. What the heck is in that little box?
