Why?: I dont know if you have looked it up on youtube, but its basicly adding some 0gauge wire under the hood without replacing the stock ones.Its all about adding a alt+ to battery +, Then a batt- to chassis (like shock tower) and then Batt- to the engine block.

When i had my mazda before i had really bad light dimming with the same sound system i installed in my yaris. Once i put the Big 3 in the mazda it wasnt dimming anymore and my voltage was more stable. I took the wires had in my previous car but one of the wires is not long enough so im gonna have to buy some.

agree

I also added a fuse block in line between the alt + and battery + ..

I personally think gauge 2 is already overkill

I never added a fuse between but i guess its something for safety.

With my mazda i had tried with 4gauge and it didnt make as much as difference as with the 0gauge.
