If I have 0g from alternator to battery, can I hook up the amp wire to alternator?

The only reason I'm asking this is so I could keep the bay looking neater, and the wire is really a bit too short, so if I hooked it right to the alternator, it would have plenty of slack, the power wire to the amps that is.

I don't see anything wrong with this except the lack of insulation on the alternator bolt.

I've never done it before but I guess it should work.

In my head I see a problem when the alt tries to charge the battery and the battery is at the same time sending current to the amp. to me it seems like the current would be going against itself.
