Posted on Sunday, March 19, 2006 - 06:27 GMT I got my 200amp alternator from excessive amperage and installed it and ran it to my battery via 4 ga wire on the positive side. Now i haven't hooked the ground up with a 4 ga wire yet and was wondering how bad it would be, or how would it affect performance? Also, should i cut the old ground wires or just leave them and just run an additonal 4 ga wire (i would like option B, but i don't know if it could be bad)? |

Posted on Sunday, March 19, 2006 - 14:12 GMT u can just leave the old wire. Electricity takes the route with the least resistence (ie. the bigger wire) |

Leave them, and just run additional 4ga, the current will take all those paths... |

Posted on Sunday, March 19, 2006 - 22:31 GMT Since i haven't installed the four gauge wire, and all that power is running to my battery, would it make my light dim alot because it can't rid of the power fast enough when the subs hit? |
