Anyways, how about:
1. Upgrading all "wimpy" ground wires to 2-guage, including the "big 3"
2. Add additional ground wires that run to the negative terminal of the battery (possibly using a distribution block)
3. Run a ground wire from the alternator's metal body to either the chassis, or the negative terminal post.
4. smearing all ground points with dielectric grease to prevent corrosion.
All wires would use good quality connectors and heat-shrink.
sound good?
well that would definitely work but its more than a bit overkill, most people dont use a 2-guage wire unless they have a few amps for their sound systems because they want a bigger "hit", and u do require quite a bit of extra power to do a serious sound system, or they want it because its showey. but hey its ur car do with it what u like, and i hope it turns out that way. personally i say 6 guage wires are more than adequate. coming off ur battery to the starter, and use ur factory wires from that point on, unless you have some other problem that needs addressed
