If you're looking to upgrade for audio, then you want to make sure to upgrade the alt + to battery +, battery - to ground, and engine block/alternator - to ground.
That'* how I've always seen it done on the car audio forums.

You can do it a number of different ways. Some people leave the factory wiring, and run additional wires. I removed the old wires and replaced them with 2 gauge power wire that I crimped gold ring terminals on to.
