i've looked, read around, and i'm wondering how this all works. i get that you hook up the voltage stabilizer to the positive and negative parts of the battery but what does this improve from anyone experience? one other question is how does the ground wire work out to, how does that work and how would you put that on? just ground it over parts of the car? this might be a dumb question but i want to know because i know nothing about it right now

It's basically a bunch of quick reacting capacitors. They resist changes in voltage by storing and regulating current flow. More current means less voltage drop when current is drawn. I'd recommend a voltage stablizer or a capacitor. I have both in my car.

As an added bonus the capacitors in the stabilizer also filter the power and help block out annoying alternator buzz you sometimes hear in your stereo. The additional ground wires just give the power a better way to get back to the battery. Some cars are really picky about where the grounds are hooked up because the computer references some grounds directly. I don't think the Tib does that but I know for a fact a Toyota 4AG will not fire its injectors if the computer ground isn't attached to the intake manifold! I just added my own additional ground cables from some leftover battery cables I had laying around like the "Big 3" DIY talks about. The voltage stabilizer might be a good idea though cause I know my car blows headlights about every 3 or 4 months which I am guessing is due to the weak power system we appear to have.
