I know some people have to learn the hard way and your not hearing what you want but most all of us have been through this before. Save some money and do it right the first time because throwing money away having to redo stuff over and over gets real old real fast.

well i know that a 14 gauge wire wouldnt hold the current for my amp that i alreay have for about 2 years now in rms it 34 ampers and the peak i had measured it only drew about 48 ampers so i know i need to either hook the alt straight to amp or battery and the amp is outt of the question so im gonna use the battery, i already have 4 ga ground to the alt and the body off the battery, and im replaceing the starter wire to 2 ga its old and fragile and all thats left is the alt then when i get the money im switching the amp i have now to my mids and tweets and pulling my amp out of the suburban to my blazer and putiing 2000 watts rms to 2 pioneer 12's permier pros, and buy the right alt and put a bigger system in the suburban
