[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7762078, member: 576029"] i like your plans so far. i am fine with those wire clamp. they work just fine, i wouldn't change them. good use of grommets. i think the wire terminal at the alt is the wrong kind for that terminal - as evidenced by the proximity to the housing. that is way to close, and even with some rubber, you risk a serious problem. i would replace the terminal with one that fits better for the task, ring terminals are cheap. i understand why you are reducing the ground to 4awg, that amp will never need more than what 4 awg can provide, but i assume it's because you don't have another 1/0 grommet or enough wire length? your plan to bolt under the vehicle is ok, just make sure that connection is covered in silicone to prevent corrosion. in general, we want to keep any connection clean. also keep the 1/0 fused at 150A since that is the effective ampacity of the circuit with a 4awg ground.
