Yeah I was more or so wondering why a shop recommended by so many forum members here had a different idea on what the 'big three' should be.

And if you upgrade alt+ to bat+ or not, you are still uprading the battery ground. The alt upgrade only counts when the car is running.. My amp sits at 13.4volts with the engine off.

edit: anyways.. I didn't mean to hi-jack this guys thread.. sorry ;>

nice. i cant tell what mine is at at idle. i have one of those crummy built in analogue volt meters in my gauge cluster. i don't think it's very accurate.
i might tackle the alt to batt tomorrow. supposed to be +10c here but with chances of rain...

The alt-to-bat positive is the least important of the three cables when retaining the stock alternator.
