[QUOTE="BASSMEKANIK89, post: 7306499, member: 631754"] REALLY DID YOU JUST SAY THAT WIRE QUALITY WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE???????? ARE YOU FLIPPIN RETARDED? He is asking how to resolve voltage/current issues and you tell him that **** wire is ok. Its cool that your car never drops below 14v, but you are on borrowed time. Your factory alternator is designed with about 10% excess of what is required to run the car properly. If his alternator is actually 200 amps great. If it is working properly than he has other issues. It is pointless for him to add another battery to a system if it can't charge the one that he already has. It just puts more strain on the alternator and factory electronics. Something WILL fail. You hit on a couple good points with the grounds sanded down and the test all connections, but to say wire that can be 40% less efficient is OK. C'MON. The point of forums like this is to help others do it the RIGHT WAY, no the cheap way. Sometimes they are the same thing, but usually NOT. I see people get installs all the time with great products and nice installs but there are problems.... Oh look you power wire melted thru the caseing from to much resistance. Sorry for the rant, just tired of seeing people **** money away and not fix the issues. I am not claiming that I have the right answers, but if we have the chance to do it right.... WHY NOT? [/QUOTE]
