The harder the alt has to work to keep up with the current the car is using, the hotter it gets and that is what kills the alt.
For example if you have a 100amp alt pumping 100amps 100% of the time its not going to last as long as a 100amp alt only working for 50% of the time. Simple wear and tear form having to extra hard for extra bass amps.
Anouther thing is if your going to run a fuse make sure its value is the same as the max output for the alt.
pic shows extra yellow wire hookup notice how you disconnect the red from the alt then add the yellow.
