If the alternator checks out on the bench, there's something wrong with the wiring, but it's not the guage of cables used to remote the bat to trunk. If the wiring can deliver the battery's current to start the engine, it's good enough to charge the battery. In any case, you should have a minimum of 13.8 volts at idle.
