[QUOTE="Lakota, post: 3702849, member: 559574"] It's actually very simple. The idea is to increase the size of the wires that current flows through to your system. Bigger wire has less resistance, so if anything this upgrade is like an increase in efficiency. 1) Run a wire from the alt. + to bat +. There is a small post on the back of the alt and just connect a ring terminal to the post and run it to the bat +. 2) The casing of the alternator itself is grounded. If you stick the negative lead of a DMM on the alt it should read the same voltage as the rest of the car. Either ground the alt to the body (if that's where your amp is grounded) or directly to the battery. You may just stick a ring terminal on where the alt mounts to the engine block if you want; that's the way that I did it. 3) Reground the battery to the body of the car. Self explanatory. [/QUOTE]
