Big 3 Question

[desastrux 10+ year member]

Hey there, I am going to be getting a Hyundai Veloster, and put a Sundown Audio SA 10, with a Audioque AQ750. I will be replacing the current amp and sub. Placing the sub in a custom enclosure, in the spare tire well.

What I am wondering is, would I even need to do the Big 3 with this setup? What exactly would the Big 3 help with?

Also, should I upgrade my battery as well when I get this? And what would be a amp wiring kit to get for this setup?

Idk, if you read the link by now. if you havn't here is a quick sum up for your specific case.

idk what wattage your amp is doing, but if your pushing more than 1k (RMS) you should definitely do big 3.

Regardless of whether your pushing a lot of power or not, the big 3 wouldn't do you any bad. so maybe you should consider doing it regardless. I hesitated to do mine, and i ended up doing eventually anyways. Not only did it help, but it was pretty quick project and inexpensive (especially when you weight its benefits).

New battery... if your carrying a stock battery then you might want to upgrade if your pushing a lot of power. what would be of more help, would be just to add a second battery (near your amp for optimum advantage of the second battery). if you do add the second battery, you might as well do the big three so you can make sure your pushing enough juice out to everything.

before battery though, do big three. as mentioned, its not too hard and relatively inexpensive.

Big three is a good idea.
