AMI CUSTOMS Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yeah 300 anl is good also left out the fuse from the alt to the front the battery you need that too. There is actually another way to wire it as well. But you get the idea.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) And don't get confused when you look at the picture, where I wrote Frame, that is basically the alt case, it grounds itself to the block.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I was thinking of drawing up a diagram of how my quad alt setup is done, but it gets a little messy on paper, I may draw something up tonight.

finkster Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 ground the amp to the batter ALWAYS do you mean directly or eventually? as long as the battery ground is connected to the chassis he could ground to the chassis if he wanted to. It wouldnt make sense but ALWAYS is kind of a bold statement. There are plenty that are well enough running ground through chassis.
