[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8288713, member: 660781"] 1. Is this stuff all hooked up or are you yet to hook it up? Play around with it once installed, turn headlights on. If they dim, you would want to get an HO alternator and upgrade the big 3. Battery would be the last thing to upgrade as far as that goes. 2. I think big 3 runs are pretty short, so it wouldn't be too expensive to just do 0 gauge or even 00 gauge wire. This will allow you for easier upgrades later, if needed. 3. If your alternator is subpar, the only thing a deep cycle battery would do is allow you to start your car. Deep cycle batteries can be "killed" many times before needing to be replaced. So you don't need to change it every time you overwhelm your electrical system. Are those powerbass speakers components or coax? Problem: your ground wiring description. First, I've heard bad things about raptor wire a while back, not sure whether this still holds. Second, ground wire needs to be as short as possible and therefore, does not need to be fused. I suggest you also use OFC wire for ground, not CCA. I'm actually pretty curious about new MB stuff - let me know how that works out for you. I've been eyeing their reference line. [/QUOTE]
