Why the Big 3 Wire upgrade should be the Big 4, 1-616-785-7990

See us for the best in High Output Alternator and honest information on charging systems. We also have starters and much more. Visit: http://www.alternatorparts.com 1-616-785-7990 The Car Stereo Big Three Wiring upgrade does not go all the way and should be the big four upgrade. Some get it right but some do not. This video shows what is going on in the alternator and why you should ad the fourth wire to the back of the alternator or as close to the back of the alternator as you can get.

1. LOL, thing you did not mention is that the Alternator is already grounded to the chassis which is 1 big conductor. 
2. Will it work just as good if, Run a wire to the back housing of the alternator to the body or frame of the vehicle?  Instead of running it all the way to the negative side of the battery.
3. couldnt i   take  a insulated /isolated alternator and run the negative side to another battery in the car and in this way charge
                          one batt with  pos clip and one bat with neg clip?
4. i personally have always run a fresh ground from alternator pivot bolt to the battery terminal ( which in turn goes to frame) when i do a big 3, never had a reason to do so untill now, im just a tad over kill nd it replaced the flat ribbon ground from motor to chassis imo
5. ive been telling ppl for years the battery isnt anything but a big capacitor.  ppl run HUGE power wires to the amp from battery nd wonder why lights dim. you can remove the battery after car is running ( with upgraded charging and ground wires) and have little to no dim because basically the alt runs EVERYTHING when the car is running and the batteris basically nothing more than a buffer to keep the rectifier from getting overloaded from a heavy draw.and then u have the guys that throw a cap at it, dont even get me started there. imho all a cap is good for is the crappy voltage meter ontop and possibly hooking to  120v extension cord and blowing up.
6. What about wiring the back of the alternator to the chassis? That's what I've done in my car and my idle voltage is around 14.8. Seems to be working okay. Is there anything to be gained by running it to the battery? 
7. nice video, man. i was actually considering this last night, thank you for reassuring my assumptions. subscribed.
8. This is great info, very good explanation of how it all work. Thank you so much.
9. My alternator is not close to the battery.  Would it be fine to connect to the chassis instead of the negative terminal?
10. Whats the cost of a dual rectifier alternator?
    
11. Is the entire back of the alt a ground? Except the positive post cause I tried doing that and couldn't find a spot to mount a cable to a ground on the alt ?
12. do you fuse the neg cable like the pos? also the big 3 i thought was 2 grounds to the battery (chassis and motor) and 1 pos from alt to batt?
13. Had to watch video twice to fully digest it but I think I've got it now.  Thanks to you sir.
14. excelente explicación saludos ;)
15. awesome video thank you!  what awg wire do you recommend from alt to frame?
16. ever since i upgraded my electrical i've been getting a popping sound through my amped speakers do you think grounding my alternator will eliminate some of that noise?
17. If your 200 amp starter takes the ground path thru the alternator will that hurt the alternator?
18. 1) Battery to Body -
    2-3) Battery to Alt -/+
    4) Alt to Body -
    
    Is this right?
19. So you are saying it's best to have 3 neg wires running from the battery, one to the frame, one to the engine block, and  one to the back of alternator?
20. In the back of my mind I thought about doing this, but I've never heard any evidence that it was worth doing. Thanks!
