When I used to compete back in the day (2000-2003) car audio guys were so much more friendly and open to give even noobs advice on how to do things. These days, anytime someone asks how do you do something they are immediately shunned and told if you have to ask then follow the manufacturers specs. What a bunch of dicks. I still enjoy having fun with car audio and sharing my knowledge base with anyone who asks. I've been doing this for years and there are not many enthusiasts in my area. I might get a little red or confrontational when someone tells me their 2 kicker comp subs in a prefab sealed enclosure with a Pyle 2400 watt amp does 175 decibels with nothing more than a 4 gauge wire running from the stock battery to the crap amp in the trunk, but when someone approaches me and asks, hey how do these guys run double power on subwoofers in these cars, I can have a 25 minute conversation on how and why, but I don't act like I'm the "king of car audio" and say if you have to ask don't do it. So magically when you all first experimented with car audio the answer how to do things just fell out if the sky and landed on your face huh? No someone who knew what the hell they were doing probably explained it to you. So please, Stop acting like stuck up bitches and help people.

I just got my mechman alternator last week but I have been to busy to install. I have a 1999 2.4 liter grand am, and I have never seen this before, but there are 2 ground wires coming from the engine block (on the front side) to the negative of the battery. I'm planing on removing all of the factory wiring and just running brand new cables. Is it important to change out those factory engine block grounds to bigger wires? Or will the ground I'm using on the alternator mounting bracket be sufficient acting as the sole engine block ground? Again I'm removing all of the factory grounds, alternator charge wire, and replacing them with 0awg wire. Thanks for the help in advance!

I must say I was a lite skeptical after a minor issue with the ordering process but man I just got home and unboxed the beast and all I can say is damn! Excuse the language but there is absolutely no other word that exists in the English language that accurately describes what I received! It is absolutely amazing! Great build quality, free extra ring terminals (not expected), and a total output of 220a! I was only expecting 180 but yes!!!! Mechman ftw! I never purchased a mechman alternator before but I know where I will be going from now on! Thanks mr. Young, you da man!!!!
