Default A question on grounding.

I has occurred to me that regardless of what guage wire you use to ground a unit to your vehicle you are still depending on the factory wire from the alt. to the chasis to complete the circuit. With the chain only being as strong as the weakest link would it not then be essential then to assure that this connection is of at least the same guage wire as your own?
