I dunno I dont really see what difference that would have but im no genius with cars... im just into electricals
I know the 3 things that you actually want to do, if nothing else, which I said earlier.

So let me get this straight, you have the big 3 + starter to batt pos, or just 2 + starter to batt pos, because that ight explain why u still get a lot of dimming.

you have to do all 3 to get the full effect, all 3 being batt pos to alt pos, batt neg to chassis ground, and engine block to chassis ground.

if you have all 3 done just ignore what i just said, im just clarifying

I have the full big 3, plus the starter wire upgrades.

Must have been a VERY shitty stock electrical or something was just wrong..... but any dimming ive ever seen with
There have been people running 2500+ watts off a STOCK alt with just batteries and big 3 with virtually NO or very little dimming, so how does that make sense if u say batteries dont "work"?? not trying to be an *** by saying that, I just don't see how you can take your situation and apply it to everyones.

thats me i have no dimming and just have the big 3 0 gauge runs and yellow top in back. I push around 3,000watts with the powerbass.

Well, I guess I stand to be corrected...........Maybe my Monte just sux *** in the electrical dept. I am unable to run more than 750w without dimming.

Every, and I mean EVERY car is different. Even the same car could be different than another one, because you could have a good or bad ground, etc etc.

Very, very case dependant.
