Very, very bad idea. You'll burn up all manner of stuff. If you have problems, increase the diameter of the wires supply power to your stuff so that you can carry enough current and not have a voltage drop due to wire length. DO NOT try to fix it by stuffing more voltage through it.
When I say increase wire size, I'm not talking about on the audio side of things. I'm talking about the power side.
I you're NOT having problems, then you won't see any benefit from increasing wire diameter either.

ok, Im building a turbo system that has the alternator relocated to the passenger side valve cover and want to get the biggest that can fit. I might sell the bracket so I can get the speed inc bracket. I also have a bunch of electronics and need a 250 amp alternator.

You can actually get more output at idle from a 200 amp alternator than from a 250. The 250 generates more power at higher RPM but not as much at idle.

*I meant to write 200 amperes 140 volts.
*I appreciate that the sponsors were more specific with the products they sell. I ignored KITT is actually a sponsor.
My apologies
