Right now it looks like an 8ga pwr wire straight from alt to battery, but no fuse.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Have a JL 500/1 for sub and a Alpine MRP-F450 amp for fronts. Lights are dimming.

I just put in a 4ga from bat to chassis.

1.How much will I benefit to upgrading to 4ga from alt to bat?

(I thought u have to fuse if you're going straight to battery)

2.For engine to chassis>>>>Will using bolt where alt is bolted to engine work?

Whoever wired that up to the + battery post w/o using a fuse was a moron. That + wire should be fused 12"-18" from the battery post and be grommeted where it enters the passenger cabin.

I usually try to pick up the stock grounding bolt on my B3 upgrades.

Sorry man, typo.....I meant the 8ga from alt to battery. It's an 06 stang GT and I can't find the stock ground from engine to chassis. When I looked at wire from alt to battery, I couldn't find a fuse, unless it's hidden in all that tape and loom.

When I change the Car's ground, I go from the battery's negative terminal with the increased ga. sized wire to the car's origianl battery grounding spot
