[QUOTE="Jay80477, post: 8512633, member: 669481"] Is it normal to have a big 2 upgrade instead of a big 3?I had ordered a big 3 kit from sonicelctronix,went to the auto shop that put engine in my van for me and asked them to do it for me.Now if im correct a big 3 is when you run 1/0 gauge from alternator + to + on battery and -ground to bare metal and engine ground to chassis bare metal.Well in my case they ran the alternator wire to battery but for the negative on battery they ran 1/0 wire to another area on the engine block and thats it .and returned the 3rd wire to me.I have a 2000 chrysler town and country minivan and from what i see is the factory wires for the engine ground and battery both run together from same spot on the engine block.so im trying to figure out if what they did make any difference is it really a big 3 done right or do i need to take it back up there and make them do it right?I have 2 amps and 1 sub and the voltage with van running goes between 13.1v-13.5v I have a 250amp alternator.
