Re: Need High Amp Alternator

I'm running a moderatly powered sound system in my 280ZX n/a. Although the amps stay near 14 volts, the needle on the ampmeter does jump a little while the bass is hitting.

Would it help to run an additional power and ground directly from the Alternator to the battery, and then connect my amp's power from that power source on the battery? (this would take some of the load off the car's original wiring)

...or do you have any other ideas? I'm running a new Bosch alternator; about a month old now.
