Just a simple question.. do I need a fusable link between the (+) of the alternator and the (+) of the battery if the leave the stock wiring from the through the fuse block? I'll be using 4 guage for the alternator to battery and for the engine to chassis.. the battery is going to use the stock ground and since its a yellow top I'm going to put a 1/0 off tbe sidepost thats not being used.. two grounds . Btw.. I should run the alternator to the positive termial of the battery that my amps positive wire is connected, correct? Its on the side post while the stock is a top mount. Gotta love batteries with both mounts
as long as your cables are well protected, i don't see why you need to. i wrapped my cables with the cable protector so they are very safe. (knock on wood)
eventually when i have extra money.. i know my amp draws way more than my factory alt can put out... how expensive would it be to get mine rebuilt for a 200a?
nate quoted me $400 for a 200amp alt for my 05 accord. i eventually bought it from iraggi. i paid $475 for a 280a alt. i have yet to see my voltage drop below 13.9v at full volume at idle. that was with my ac full blast, headlights on, cabin light on, and the system on high.
