This got me thinking about doing this upgrade. Ive never done it in the past. Just heard about it. I went ahead and used some left over 4gauge wire from my amp kit and did the extra battery ground and engine ground. I cant see where the battery connects to the alternator. Again, my first time trying this. Can anybody help me on this?? Im in a 2nd gen.^ I believe the big 3 is the battery to chassis ground, engine block to chassis ground and the battery to alternator power wire. That's how I've known them anyway and have been into car audio since I attended my first IASCA competition in 1990.
Do those upgrades with min. 4 AWG wire and your electrical system will be happy.
Lol I am running a 4000 watt rms on my stock alt and I mean yea the lights dim everytime the bass hits but once I get a second battery it shouldn’t do that, so take the cheaper option and just grab a yellow topHello. I was interested in getting more bass to my ride. I was looking on a 2000 watta mono amp with some new subs. But i was told from my local stereo shop that my current stock alternator could not handle the power. Does anyone know how many amps our stock alternator puts out??? I was thinking 110 amps or so??? I am not sure. The guy at the shop said that i could damage my alternator if i went ahead with the install. I was going to run rockford fosgate Punch P3 subs @ 1 ohm mono. Yes my amp can run safely @ 1 ohm. Darn it!! I wanted to do this, but i was told that if i wanted more bass, that i would need to buy a high output alternator and that would cost me between 400-600 dollars. wow!! Thats alot of money. I was wondering is anyone out there running a 1000 watts RMS @ 1 ohm mono??? Rightnow i am only able to run 500 watts RMS mono @ 2 ohms. If you do have a high output alternator, where did you buy yours at???? I was told that if i had a V8 engine that it would be fine to run a 1000 watts RMS. Its because my 2012 Forte LX is a 4 cylinder and the stock alternator is not adequate. I am curious to know how many watts you guys are running in your cars??? I am currently running 2 amplifiers. One for bass, and the other for mids and highs. How many people here have upgraded alternators??? Please chime in
Just got mine in for 2016 Kia FORTE. Built custom from the guys at Custom Electric in Ohio.Hello. I was interested in getting more bass to my ride.

If you upgrade the Alt and do the big 3, you would see a huge gain. If you want something like that.I have the stock alternator in my car and have been running the following for over 3 years now with no issues.
