Re: Sil2DrV6's 2002 Accord Coupe EX-L V6
Installed the big 3 ground wiring by Tsunami Competition series w/ Knukonceptz in-line fuse.
From the alternator to:
To the positive battery terminal. (The longest wire w/ the fuse, going around my battery to the terminal.)
From the battery terminal to the transmission.
From the battery terminal to the front body frame.
From the side of the engine to the strut tower.
It has been mentioned that there is going to be some improvements in the vehicle's acceleration, audio performance, and lighting output (brightness).
But what surprised me the most was the audio quality improvement among all. Bass became a lot tighter, mid-bass is a lot more distinct, and treble is crispier. (My audio is stock, but the front components are aftermarket & the doors are fully Dynamatted.) With this ground wiring upgrade, I can turn up the volume control all the way to near 80% w/ no distortion whatsoever (bass setting being +2). The lower frequency (low bass) is definitely there way more than ever before this upgrade, and I don't need a subwoofer. (Unless you're kind of a person who want to impress others. -Letting others hear your bass from your car.-)
Vehicle's running performance was kinda hard to tell, since I was driving w/ my wife in my car for the most part, but I'll see if I can tell the difference by myself next time. My tac meter used to drop quite noticeably at idle, every time I used my power feature, especially windows & seats, but it is pretty much eliminated. It still drops noticeably when the AC activates, but for such a power to be endured, I might need to replace my 12-year-old alternator or something.
My headlights stopped dimming when using power windows as well.
All in all, I am quite surprised & happy about getting such noticeable improvements.
