um yea I upgraded all the factory grounds with 4 gauge cable all running directly to the battery. Didn't bother with alternator, cause power wire is a pain.

i never had it to begin with, but I'm sure it helped with something. I have the hyper voltage system also, and that I could actually tell a difference.

I know someone who did, they claimed they didn't notice any difference but who knows. I personally haven't experienced it done!

Technically speaking, that's not the big 3. The main 3 wires, but not teh big 3 upgrade. I'm just saying.....

Also, yes, I've done it, and yes, I noticed a different. I actually made my own grounding kit (which I also sold a couple of days ago). It improved the integrity of the electrical, and improved dimming (a minute amount that most wouldn't notice to begin with, but still) for me. Some won't notice a difference. Mainly a trial and error method.
