I think that I can get an equal variety (not the same exact color scheme) of wires from advance auto in 25ft rolls totalling about 175$ ---> That gives 10 different spools of 25ft of wire at 14 Gauge. I priced it at 14 gauge because much of the 16 and 18 gauge wire is the same or slightly cheaper, so I figured I should try to overestimate. SO then If I add in the price of the spade connectors and the electrical tape, I could do the whole rewire for about $200.

The reason I don't want to use the EZ wire Kit is that I want to move the fuse box out under the hood. I like this arrangement more and I think that it is a better placement. I also will be adding 3 more circuits to the box for a beefier stereo (nothing fancy, just non-stock) and splitting up the more vulnerable ciruits. For me, in a perfect world every circuit would be fused individually, but nothing is perfect.
