As most of you may already know i've been meaning to go the SQ way since quite some time now with the equipment I had and did some sound dampening on my car.Well I haven't been able to post my recent upgrades and well without further a due here they are...special thanks to Splfanatic for sourcing these as well as providing me support with his iinvaluable suggestions day in day out and would like to add that the deal went very smoothly and he is an honest and very nice person. =)I'd like to thank moonjee,tilsim,jz for their suggestions and the likes of madhouse12,drshaggy and stj174 for being an inspiration with their installs.

The Do It Well Not Exactly Yourself Big 3 upgrade... =P
First we'll attach the thimbles to the cable...
Let's do the grounding first after removing the battery...
Now for the alternator to battery wire...well Houston we have a problem,we need a fuse between the battery and the power wire since a short circuit can lead to a fire.Note: the stock wire is already fused through the fuse box in the car...Anyways well we don't need no branded stuff here,when there's a will there's a way and that's the desi way here...
Getting an old fuse box and attaching the thimbles to that...
and VOILA!!! not bad at all... =D
Gains without even changing the alternator that i noticed:Better throttle response,AC works better and doesn't trip as often,Better mileage,Louder and cleaner sound,Brighter headlights and that's all folks!!!Stay tuned for further upgrades...comments and suggestions are welcome. =) Happy listening...
