[QUOTE="bigbang, post: 3252093, member: 576408"] Got to get my opinion in. A high output alternator can fry a relay board under your dash or in your engine bay. When your stereo demands all the output of a new beefed up alternator, but it first has to travel through the stock alternator wiring into the stock electronics board not meant to handle the higher amperage, things may melt. Thats why its important to add a zero gauge from alternator positive to battery positive, so all this extra current doesnt have to go through stock equipment made for the factory alternator. Simply put, do the big three so the stock wiring/electronics doesn't have to handle the extra amperage. [/QUOTE]
