After doing this it has helped alot, especially with diming of my lights when my bass is playing. I guess it's not everyone who has the same results.

Okey, there is one thing I can't figure out. Do you have to replace wires on the alternator? Like have a ground wire from the alt to the negative battery post?

Anyways, thanks for the information. I think I am going to go the DIY route, whereas I know it will work

Thanks for the link 88LE
