95 Honda accord elecrical upgrade

[Jared530 10+ year member]

Yea im pretty sure i have the space to put the amps, its just going to be very tight, and i have to move all my baseball stuff to the back seat. Anyways I want to run 2 Hifonics Goiliaths XX3212's. I need like a tutorial on upgrading to the big 3 with pictures cause i dont really know what they are talking about. I also dont know how to place aditional batteries under the hood and back. Can you just go to a car audio installer and they will do that?

yea they can do it but its quite easy i would rather do it my self than be over charged for an easy job. Ur jus adding wire to the existing wire very simple homie. Adding a second battery is simple also not much to it, jus run the power wire from the battery in the front to the battery in the rear and ground the rear battery to the chassis in the rear very simple

BIG III, add a power/ground wire(i'd pick 0awg)

I. + (pos) Battery to fuse to Alt (you don't have to fuse it but its good to have so u dont start a fire,put the biggest fuse for that wire)

II. Chassis to a Ground point

III. - (neg) battery to a ground point

Here's a better big 3 tutorial. It's even for your generation Accord (assuming it's a 2.2l)! Made by yours truly . . .

im going to run 2 hifonics goliaths XX3212's, their about 3,200 rms each, im just wondering is the 3500d with power these alright, i would get two but my electrical would be able to power them both.

are you serious Jared? If you dont know much about electrical work i dont know if you are capable of that much power. Im sure you have potential,but just don't 1 of those people who just gives a wad of cash to tweeter and let them do the work for you.

So your saying that my accord is capable to power 2 3500d's? As long as i upgrade the 3 cables to 1/0 and get a 200a alty?

No, no, no. I've already told you that you'd be able to run 1 2500d fine. Even then, you're still pushing it, so what makes you think you can run 2 3500ds?!

 

[Jared530 10+ year member]

Oh, Sorry, i meant to say that i would like to run one (1) 3,500d. Do you think this would be alright?

 

[Megalomaniac 5,000+ posts]

Im sure you can run 1 but not 2. Cause right now i got a 2000 accord lx and im runnin an eD NINe 1 to an RE SX 15" 4cubic ft ported tuned to 28hz. I have done the big 3 with 1/0awg wire i have a deepcycle batt(yellow top) im giving my sub about 1250watts rms and i gett dimming like a mutherf***er,actually not as bad when i didnt have the big III. so it does help,but 1st i gots to get my windows tinted,then my next major purchase is that HO alty.

 

[Jared530 10+ year member]

yea, i just bought tint for all my windows except windsheild of course, 5%. Bought it froma guy for 25$, he types in the make, year, type of your car and the machine feeds it out cut precisely to ur windows. Im not gunna lay it myself i heard it was a *****. But anyways, you you know the amps of a stock alty for a accord? Cause 250 for a 200A alty isnt that pricey.
