Upgrade your stock wire with thicker one(depends on the amperage(look for charts for that)).

Positive battery to positive alternator

Chassis to negative battery

Chassis to engine block

This helps when you install an aftermarket system and you draw way more current. The stock wire is not accommodated for that, so when you add a bigger alternator/battery you should upgrade your wires too.

And with the big 3 will it increase power to the amp and fix the light dim issue when subs hit?

It can help, yes. Will it remove it completely? That depends on each car and the power you're demanding.

Buy good cable cuz remember engine heat and it will be exposed to the elements...i use 2/0g wire that i bought from a forklift company...the use it to power their forklift...im talking about 1 ton batteries...paid about 100 bucks for 30ft

How many amps is your alternator rated for?

Is that a after market amp?

I thought I was talking to the originator of the thread sorry.

My alternator isn't putting out much. Its stock. I want to get an HO one. But was looking into the big 3.
