The stock wire in my 2000 camaro went directly from the alternator to the battery, so of course that's how i ran the upgraded wire.

I always leave all the factory wires, then just add a wire from the alt to the battery, and a new ground from alt to battery. In my truck i have on the side posts all the factory positive and negitive wires, then on the top (+) post i have my alt wire run with 0 awg, and my power wire to the amps . And i have a 0 awg groung to body, and 0 awg ground to alt both to the top post as whell. Ground resistance is believe it or not 0 ohm in my engine compartment Power from Alternator - Page 2 -- posted image.

you did not mention fuses. the OEM wiring has a fusible link. If you upgrade the wiring, you must fuse it accordingly. Be sure to locate your fuses propely (as close to the power source as possible)

I thought it was impossible to get 0 ohms. Only real close to it.

its reading .002, which is the same reading i get when i touch the 2 test leads together on my dmm, i couldn't believe it either, but meh, im not complaining. IM shure the resistance is much higher in the back, i haven't tested there yet since i have no equipment in rite now.

Heres how I did mine- 0ga from alt to a 0ga T-block where I split to amp fuse and to battery with 0ga . Then I ran a 4ga to my factory power block. 0ga for grounds and to the back. I get no interference/noise with this setup but I also use high quality RCA's and ran them down one side of car and power wires down the other. Power from Alternator - Page 2 -- posted image.

Thanks for the pic, it's belivable now. The only reason why i have my setup so ghetto rig is because, im 17 with a car note, insurance bill, phone bill, computer bill, and gas bill. It gets hard with a expensive hobby like this. So i try to make do with what i got. Thanks for all your help guys.
