[QUOTE="sabor, post: 6152848, member: 612318"] Wow, I've been through this too with my impala. So I will tell what I did through painstaking hit and miss and $$$. All I have is a pair of L5's 12" running at 2ohms off a Mmats 1600.2 amp. also have a jl audio 600/4 amp running my components and 6 x 9's. Anyway I had my positive cable hooked to the computer terminals. I went to a electrical shop to ask about h/o alts and big 3 etc. He told me the best thing I could do was hook the power cable directly to the battery itself. That was because the cables running off the computer terminal to the battery are very small. I have a 1/0 gauge power terminal so having it hooked to the computer will make the current have to try to squeeze through the tiny cables. Hooking it directly to the battery bypasses the small wires. whew.... hope this makes sense. Also I do not do my own installations and had it all done by so called audio experts and am surprised they don't know this stuff. [/QUOTE]
