So... Just because I'm bout to re wire some stuff... You only have POS's from alt and front batt, then 3 chassis grounds at the back right?

I'm assuming you have the alt grounded to chassis upfront right?

New (+) 1/0 from alt to main battery. 2 (+) 1/0 from front to rear buss bars. 2 New 1/0 Engine grounds, 4 Frame grounds up front, 4 in back. Only 3 shown so far, i have one more i am going to do when i install the amps. I decided against running dedicated ground wires since this car has a very beefy structure to it and some NICE grounding points. I will see how it acts but i think it will be ok.

also someone asked about an alternator upgrade. Right now, the stock alt is 180a. I had 2 T4000.1bd on my honda 200a alternator so i am pretty sure the stock 180 should be able to handle what i have. It won't be IDEAL....but, it should be OK. This isn't going an SPL vehicle.

I dig the black leather/blue stitching- goes right with the theme Lexus intended for the car.

that is some nice attention to detail, love the blue stitching! props to whoever did a clean job on the leather!

Cool, That's what I assumed looking at the pics. I've always wondered how much the alt to back bank ground actually helped if your big 3 was like yours and hella good. Thanks Steve.
