Default Big 3 upgrade (03 FX4)

After installing two amps, new battery, and a winch I decided to upgrade my alternator and the big 3;
Alternator is a used Bosch 160 amp.
Battery= Interestate Megatron PLUS 1000 CA -800CCA
Wiring is done with 1Ga. mining cable

Amplifiers;
Rockford T1500 1bdcp
Rockford T600 1bdcp (1800rms combined) ~300 amps

Electric winch:
12.5 K Warn Winch amps are dependent on load size

Here are a few pics; If you want the DMM specs on the Voltage drops/efficiency/amp(ideling or running) let me know

just a heads up change the 1 gauge mining cable for one.. i used cable like that once and had nothin but problems out of it.. so you might want to look at car audio 0 gauge power wire.

We use it at the mine to run everything. Our shuttle cars pull about 450 amps, so I don't think I will have any issues.
