You may elaborate what you need this improvement for? Are you running a big stereo amps, plow, lights what? If you are putting in a larger amp alternator you will need larger cables to supply the power. All has to do with amp draw/load/distance of wire. There is a chart on the crutchfield link. Also keep in mind battery cable uses thick strands of wire where audio power cable uses thin strands for the same cable gauge. Battery cable is not that flexible that's why the thin strand type is preferred for longer lengths and ease of installation.
So going to a 250 alternator, four kc lights on the roll bar, possibly 4 more to 7 more on the front and a winch in the future, you suggest doing it before I go modding?
Thicker wire for the alternator to battery. I would install relay/s for the lights. Make sure you use the correct gauge wire to the lights and power from the battery. And lets see a pic of it when it's done.
Yep, other than little things here and there it's running good just miss being lifted and loud. I was really only here because of the rockauto discount page cause I needed a new window motor, and figured I throw in a post.
