No, it wont hurt anything, just make sure that all your replacement cables/connections are tight and solid.

if you're running a larger audio system in your car , not only will it help but is necessary, i even go so far as to run a 4 ga from the alt bat terminal (the one with the ten mm nut) to the + battery terminal , it does help and is worth the time to do so
