[QUOTE="phantom240, post: 1429061, member: 562504"] Okay, a few questions for you guys... 1)what size wire would you recommend i use for the alt->batt + wire? 2)what amperage fuse would i use for said wire? 3) lets say my stock alternator puts out 80 amps, and with a/c and all engine electronics and such going on, im using 20 amps of that max output. If i fues my alt->batt wire for lets say 200 amps, will that allow my amp to draw more current than my alt is rated for, thereby toasting my alt? or is that something i shouldnt worry about... btw im runing an old Alpine MRV-1507 (80A fuse on amp from factory). Great info though. on a scale of 1-10, how much would you say this helps your system out? [/QUOTE]
