    There is a wire between the engine block and chassis, you are upgrading all your wires to a bigger ga. so the electrical current has the same flow. Think of it as a water pipe. If you have a 2 in. pipe flowing into a 1 in. pipe, the rate of flow is cut in half. I hope this helps. Check these...

    Big 3 question..

    I did and it works like a charm. I have a Kenitik HC 1400 power cell as my main battery, Load Boss 180 Amp alt, and a dual ANL fuse block.

    Alternator ?

    What kind of front and/or rear speakers are you looking for? What about your sound staging? If you were planning on using OEM speakers, GOOD LUCK on trying to make an SQ car. I'll bet you can't do it. All OEM speakers are "CRAP!" in my opinion. No matter how good the manufactures claim's it...

    big 3 question

    I don't think it is a cause to worry. If the voltage drops below 11 volts, then I would worry. All that will happen is your battery will dies sooner then normal. When you changed to the 1/0 ga. cable, did you do the same for the other 2 cables. Keep it the same, for a more constant voltage...

    multiple batteries vs. high output alternators

    I say to plan out your system either 1 or 2 batteries. There are pros and cons to just about averything you do. The pro is that you will be able to "pound" you system with your car off without killing your main battery, providing you have an battery isolator. The con is that you will have to...

    If you want more power, get a bigger amp. The "big 3", to my understanding, will decrease the internal resistence, therefore making the voltage drop less. If you upgraded the "big 3" and the battery, and your lights still dims, you might want to consider getting a H.O. alternator.
