Not really true.... bigger is generally considered better (Within reason of course)

The last thing you want to do is run your amp off of wire that is too small. It causes a potential hazard to you and your vehicle. Not to mention it starves your amp for power.

As for the Lightning vs Stinger... really, if both 0 guage kits actually use the same size of wire (some companies lie!) then there will really be no difference between the two. Just get which ever is cheaper.

bro wire is wire is wire...get the cheaper one.

Now dump that cap...u dont need it and it wont help .

A HO alt would be a must i would say, if your gonna run ur amp at full power (2500 watts). BUT first do the big 3 and then see how it works out from there, whats ur stock alt putting out?

Wire is not wire, their are different strand count in wires, if you are going to be running that kind of power than I suggest you get something with a high strand count. The Db link I quoted you on is their pro kit so it has a very high strand count.

^^ I've heard good things about the dBLink stuff. They're a lesser known brand, but has good quality.
