positive terminal wiring getting hot s13

Welp, I replaced the 10a fuse to eng cont. on the fusebox because I was getting a charging light and a buzzing sound. It fixed it but the wires going to the positive terminal started smoking. Here are some pics:
Also the red thing came with my wiring specialties lower harness but never installed it. (it has a lock so I don't forget where I put it lol)

The car also has an 125 amp alternator instead of the original 80 amp.

Is that speaker wire????!?!?


I would remove those clear wire and connect the white wires straight to the terminal connector

You can replace the factory terminal with a new battery terminal and just connect the wires straight to that too

Yeah its some gross 16 guage speaker wire :/ (it used to be someone's project). I'm going to go the junkyard tomorrow to cut some of those connectors to plug into the red thing on the battery terminal, for those 2 white wires, do i just crimp them into one bigger wire? Or should I just say screw it and relocate the battery to the back?

To put an end to the thread, I took the car on a little ride and everything is great, no hot wires or shorting. Thanks again for the help!
