[QUOTE="thevic24, post: 4373191, member: 575973"] the big 3 is re running the following the wire from the alt. to the battery + a new ground from the battery to the body and a new ground from the motor to the body you will want to use wire no smaller than 4ga., 0 or 1/0 would be the best. as for the cap, sometimes they help, sometimes they dont. in most cases the big 3 will take care of most power needs. if for some reason you have a voltage spike and or drop problem, that is when a cap might help. as an example, i have a bronco with a 75 amp alt and run a ppi 600.2 art at 2 ohms mono, and a fosgate 500x 4 ch. both these amps can draw up to over 100 amps togeather(at MAX output) and even with the a/c, headlights on my voltage never drops below 13.2v at idle and this is with underdrive pullies. i have the big 3 done and a cap.
