[QUOTE="reneeb7363, post: 2217326, member: 569914"] First, John, you are a saint. Thank you for taking the time to post this thread... even tho it was a FEW months ago... lol... but also THANK YOU for coming back in periodically and answering some of the questions. Second: My proffessor always liked the Fire hose vs. Garden Hose theory. You CAN move all the required water from the larger hose through the smaller hose but it will take more time and if you push too hard you will destroy the smaller hose. Using the same size garden hose, add additional hoses until there is no restriction for the fire hose. Ta-da... you are taking advantage of all the source (firehose/alternator) can put out. In essence, speaking about electricity, the least resistance you have for electrons to freely move the more you will be able to take advantage of your power source. Use the largest wire you can, it is not that much more expensive, leave the original wire (additional hoses theory) and for GOD's sake make sure your connections are clean and free of paint, rust, etc. Just thought this was a VERY IMPORTANT part that John stated and was worth re-stating. That's just my two bits... hope this shines a light on something (not sure what-- hoses???) [/QUOTE]
