[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 8180533, member: 567719"] I've found that occasionally the OEM wires will feed other things aside from what you'd expect. Although if you removed them I imagine you would have noticed if you had to disconnect them from something besides the battery/alt/chassis. But in any case, electrical current will divide itself between the old and the new, obviously the new being larger will handle the majority but the old will still carry some (i.e. you'll see a slight benefit) but it will never hurt. This is why we always recommend the OEM wires be left alone. As a general rule of thumb I recommend 100A of alt power for every 1kw of amp power. Obviously this has it's limitations especially when you get into higher power systems but it works pretty well for At only 600w there's no reason your stock electrical shouldn't be able to keep up unless you already have a failing electrical component.
