big 3

Like the title suggests is there any substitute for a high output alt? the only reason I ask is because for whatever reason I'm having trouble finding one for my vehicle. ive been able to find one but its numbers don't offer much of a benefit for the price. I'm running about 800w rms. and id...

I’m having trouble deciding on connecting my 2 10inch compq with a rockfordt1500. originally I thought I had a alternator and was thinking of big 3 and agm battery. Now I noticed I don’t have a alternator and have a 48v dc to dc that charges my 12v battery, that I use for my electrical. Has...

So I have the big three done in my car. Setup diagram is: 1. Power wire alternator to battery 2. Negative wire to chassis of car 3. Wire Motor block to chassis (layered factory wire) so on the new alternator there is a positive and negative to the battery. Do I need to change the negative to...

Nvm. Lol 😆

Hey guys, Haven't stopped in for a while since I've been in college but I'm getting back in the game. I noticed their isn't a specific brand on consolidated site dedicated to the big 3 wiring upgrade. Everyone has questions about it at the start; there's got to be at least a thread every couple...

I'm having trouble doing my big 3 installation because I want to make sure I have the correct places chosen for my grounds.

Ok, I'm trying to do the big 3 on my buddy's full-size 1992 Bronco 5.8L Windsor, but I am absolutely stumped. The alternator doesn't have a post and plug like I'm used to. It only has two plugs identical to the photo below. Any thoughts on how I can do the big 3? Where the (+) would go? [/img]

Hi all, first time custom install here and I'm looking to put dual TS-W310D4 with GM-D9601 as the amp and some sort of enclosure tbd later in my Mazda3. I'm putting in the Sony XAV-65 for the head unit and just leaving the door speakers factory. I'm going for the 1/0 CCA Big 3 fused kit from sky...

So I'm doing a big 3 upgrade and I have a simple question, does the positive connection from the alternator to (+) of battery need a fuse? If so how big? ANL 250 amp?

I have 2 Kinetic 1800 wired in parallel with 0 Awg (+ to + & - to -) For the big three do I just need to run a 0 Awg cable from the alternator to the main kinetic positive terminal? or do I need to do this on both main and secondary battries? For the ground: I run a 0 Awg cable from the...

I have a 2000 Ford Taurus and I am hesitant to remove the wires to measure them. Has anyone given this same car an upgrade before, and if so could I have the measurements??? I need Alt+ to Bat+, Bat- to frame, and Engine Block to frame. Thank you in advance!

So i've read countless forms, and even found a forum for my exact car. but the pictures on it were taken down.. and i cant find the wires, or where to connect them to for the life of me. I'm pretty bad with engines so that doesnt help.. if anyone could help me out with either pictures or a...

Sooooo....I think I may have shorted out both or one of my coolant temperature sensors after my big 3, because my temp gauge is on the fritz. How could this have happened? Thanks.

I'm only running 400rms and was wondering if I could do the big 3 upgrade with 4 gauge wire I got some extra laying around? And if so could I use the 4 gauge if I were to run 800rms?

CURRENTLY this is what I have: 2006 Cobalt SS Sedan BRZ-1700.1D Amplifier (ran at 2ohms - "1200w" RMS) 4 awg Rockford wiring for Amplifier power/ground 16 awg Rockford wiring from Amp-Sub 1 SA-12 D4 2cuft custom ported box tuned to 34hz (built myself) 1 Rockford farad capacitor (yeah...

I was thinking about doing the big 3 and getting a new battery....it's the big 3 really as simple as just replacing and relocating power and ground cables? Details please and how big of a battery can I get for just my stock alternator? thanks

Ok, so i have a 1997 f-150 and im putting in a 130 amp altenator. I'm planning to do the Big 3 with 4 gauge wire also, but I've run into a small problem...... There are two wires that run from my altenator (I do not know why there are two wires, if you have any idea please let me know) and they...

I am about to do the big 3 on my trailblazer and wanted to know what 0 AWG wire to run. Any suggestions?

Whats the best wire to use for the big 3?

I have 2 Orion H2 12.2 subs that will be powered by an Orion 2500D amp at 1 Ohm (I think). I've been searching high and low for all my options. I am going to do the Big3 upgrade for sure but i was thinking about getting a Kinetik HC1800 battery for a secondary battery in the back and I still...

So heres whats up, I drive a 2002 Chevy Cavalier with a stock alternator (80 amps I believe). When everything is said and done i'll be running two Alpine PDX amps...the M-12 and F-4 for a total of 1300 watts rms. From what I understand and know they are one of the more efficient digital amps out...
