Also...not sure if it matters but my alt is out of a 98 Explorer (lightning fried mine and my cuz had totaled her explorer so we got the alt.)

you shouldnt even need to do the big 3. as long as you have a decent battery you arent running much power you should be fine. doing the big 3 can help some but personally ive never done any of my vehicles and never had a problem.

I would think you could get away with a good underhood and the big three. If you have dimming just add another small batt to the back.I'm running around 1800rms right now on a tiny stock front battery,the big three,and a stinger spv70 in the trunk all of a stock subaru 75 amp alt.I have no dimming and never drop under 13 volts even on extended burps.
