So im guessing since you cant see all the wire you cut the stock one off.....not good man.

no i just unhooked it, went and got the alt tested and it says its fine, i just put it back on and hooked the stock wires back,,,,, got to try to jump it when i can now,,,

is there anything else it can be? if it was because i didnt have the stock wires hooked up would it have worked fine for a couple weeks? it just seems like the alt is not keeping the batt charged but it works fine,,, if it was the batt would it die while it was running(autozone said needs a new batt. but they seem to always say that)

the one that went bad is 220 amp,i have a warrenty on it and just sent it back, you think i need more than that, or just a few good batts,,,, with 3000 watts?

generally recommended to leave the stock wire and add the new one with it.

What is that....???

Get your battery tested to make sure it's not gone. If the battery is still good, then put in your stock alt with the stock wiring. In my car, the positive is connected through my fuse box then connected to the battery. Make sure you have the stock wiring hooked up when adding your big 3.

id suggest at least two group 34s or larger to buffer the large amperage draw on peak notes. one under the hood and one in the trunk would be a good start
