Cheers guys -
Hey guys... I'm about to do the big 3 in my pontaic g8 and the batter is in the truck.. The alt positive is no problem but I'm trying to work out the engine block ground..... What are my options without putting the wire under the car..... Can I ground the block to the chassis and double up on the chassis grounding points near the battery?

Ok serinero lets say if I do the big 3 mount a volt meter in my glovebox have the xs power d3400 plus another 2 d680 battery..... Would the electrical system in my car handle the extra draw from the amps or would I best best to e mail an alternator company to see if they will make me one from my car? I mean it can't be that hard I've basically got a 09 g8 -

The battery is in the trunk from factory -
As with being located in Australia it's not that easy to get a big alternator cause most of the auto sparkys are f*#%wits... I asked him would I be able to run a SK-1500.1 and a SK-85.4 of my car and he said "yeah mate.. You could run them off the stock batt" I face palmed it so I put it to you people.... My car came from factory with a 100 amp alternator and it has I think 2 awg wire to the batt... I've already put an xs power d3400 in Would I be able to run these 2 amps how it is now and if not let me know what mods I need to do so I can have a piece of mind and not constantly worried ill be on low voltage Cheers mate
