    I'd spend the money to have your alternator rewound. More power, same alternator.

    I'd spend the money on a new battery, rewind the alternator, and find a way to run 1/0.

    You can run it underneath the car, as long as it's in something that will protect it. Something like Flec-tite (flexible conduit that's liquid proof.)

    Upgrading ground wires under hood can sometimes help w/ voltage drops/dimming.

    Thats what I'm doing. I also ordered one of these (see link below) + new wiring, new battery terminals and new terminal connectors.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

    I changed my entire system as it is. Running 1/0 gauge to a 135 amp circuit breaker from stinger, to a distribution block which has 3- 4 gauge outputs which will be going to 1 ED mono am, 1 ED 2 channel and possibly another ED 2 channel if there comes a need for it.

    If I still have problems, then I plan to upgrade the alternator.
