[QUOTE="phantom240, post: 1719465, member: 562504"] Man, i had some free time today, and cleaned my room to discover some leftover portions of 2awg JL wiring i used to power my subs and cap (which, despite what ppl say, helps MY car with voltage drops and dimming), and decided to to some of the big three. I kept the factory batt neg to ground, and added another 2awg section to another area in the engine bay, close to the strut tower... my engine bay was too cramped and i was too lazy so thats all i did today. BUT, there is definately some benefits already. I went to crank the car over for the first time, and from the get go i noticed that the starter spun over quicker, it started faster, and before when i would start it, it would start and hit like 1000 rpms then bog down to about 400/500 and sometimes die, but usually it would come right back up to 900/1000 where it should be. But now, i crank it, it starts and jumps to about 1100 rpms and then down to 1000 and idles hella smoother. As far as audio goes, it seems the power is a little better, but i have yet to fully test it. I am almost out of gas and broke as hell. I was wondering as i smoked my victory cigarette right after if i could also upgrade the wires leading to the starter? would that help the car start any better, like speed the starter up a bit? Anyways, just some testimonial saying that even 1 step in the big three has its advantages. [/QUOTE]
