thanks for the photos kennykid2002. you didn't replace the alternator wire? if replace only the 3 grounds its that gonna make a big difference without replacing the alternator wire?

Nope, didnt replace it

I dont have an aftermarket altenator anyways, so current draw will be not noticeable

the stock alternator can only put out 70amps and that's based on what the ELD (electrical load detector) determines is the need. anything hooked directly to your battery (amplifiers) will not be picked up by the ELD, so doing the alternator cable is basically a waste.

oh, and here's what my ground cables look like (they're silver terminals now, not gold).
