Official CarAudio.com Big 3 Thread

[Technician:]

Ok i just completed my big 3 upgrade on my 01 eclipse gt. My issue is now when i turn the keys to the acc i can hear a flicker or a click coming from my intake manifold it also clicks one time after the car shuts off. It sounds like its coming from the map sensor. Need help..did i forget something?

Do you have to fuse Alternator to Battery? If you know its going to be secure?

 

[connersdad19 10+ year member]

its a preference....either way, although i just got mine done on my blazer and i fused mine...just because i had the extra stuff to do so.

And question: Should the battery to chassis and engineblock/alternator to chassis be connected at the same point on the chassis or does it not matter?

Any one with a 2000 civic coupe ex that has done the big 3... Do you have measurements, specifically the batt-alt...

Well I did a rough measurement due to the shitty weather... I got like 10 inch for -batt to chassis... 12 inch for chassis- engine block... alt to +batt was like 36 inch... but that one I didnt measure as good... Think I might go out and check today...

So 10ft +/- a few inches should be ok for a 2009 Galant I hope. What is an ideal size of cable to use when doing the Big 3?

1/0 is always best. Whether or not your running a big wattage system, it makes it future proof and also insures now that your gonna be safe and not still restricting it by having any smaller gauge. Plus you wont have to upgrade it later.

why do people continue to ask what size of wire to use? and you don't need pictures.....its self explanatory.

Because people don't search, or go 5pages back to see pictures from two separate users on the same page...... Yet still ask, where are the pictures.
