[QUOTE="Roland, post: 8469515, member: 647142"] Not trolling but I think his point was, that you have diminished returns from SOME wire upgrades. Everyone knows and agrees that bigger is better that's a given. We would also agree that a 10guage wire going to our tweeters would be overkill because the small gain doesn't justify the effort and cost. (I know A/C not the same but but it's a example) All wire will have some voltage drop even super conductors have some resistance. So upgrading a alternator wire to go from 0.1 voltage drop to 0.02voltage drop may not be of value when you compare a weak ground that is causing a 3.0 volts drop. I have resolved a number of voltage drop issues by improving ground connections with cars that have had stock alternator wires. That said an alternator wire upgrade is so cheap and easy that it is hardly worth debating and definitely not worth getting excited about. [/QUOTE]
