While I cannot speak for DSE I can confirm all of those points. It is less expensive, lighter and you will REALLY appreciate how much easier it is to work with.

With that said, I will add: be sure to purchase quality cable with good insulation and the more strands of actual wire inside, the better (electrically and also more flexible). Be sure to use good grommets if passing through panels and use cable clamps to stop them from moving around.

As Todd suggested - I run a gnd cable forward also plus ran from that to the sub and another to the engine itself. I have one from the battery itself to the body in the trunk area also.

Hope that helps.
