    Leave OEM where it is Use at least the gauge wire your are running your power cables with and make sure to fuse the alternator to battery cable. Use different grounding points then what OEM uses.

    Good point on the fuse, and thanks for the advice on wire size.

    Did you replace the OEM wires? Someone above mentioned not replacing but adding to the OEM. Using both?

    Seems that if you are running a lot of power it might not be a bad idea, but if not it isn't necessary. Is it a big job or expensive? What the real world cost, and estimate of time to completion? New alternator or battery? XT alterator output?

    Light dimming would drive me crazy. My last vehicle had a tow package which gave it a bigger alt so dimming wasn't and issue unless I was playing Obituary at the highest volume for awhile.

    Actually not a bass head at all I was looking for acuracy at the time, I had the three 10 w6's in my Expedition as just 8's didnt do it in that big of a cabin. New set up is still very much in the air. A 6.5 component set for sure, Hybrid audio or something similar for front stage Amps I am torn between a lot of things. But I am leaning towards Butler Tubes Sub I have no idea what direction to go. I am not looking to fill the back of my car by any stretch.

    Yes, I am researching all things car audio. I have the JDM pieces ready to go into my XT I am just trying to combat all environmental issues first. I had a very good SQ system in my last vehicle. Xtants from the mid 90's, Boston Pros and 3 10w6 jl's, but the internet was not around when I did that system so I didnt think of all of these problems, solutions, or just things to look at. So now that I am in a perfect place to make sure everything is perfect I am trying to figure out the best way to get every cent spent out of the stereo.

    So add a 2 or 0 wire on top of the oem wiring connections?

    Has anyone researched this type of upgrade? In theory it seems as if it would be a great idea but in practicality? Basically replace the OEM ground wires with heavier gauge wire and better connections to reduce unwanted noise from various grounds. http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/how-articles-provided-our-members/107466-quicky-big-3-upgrade.html
