Stop Doing The Big 3 On Your Cars....

According to one of the local shops I compete with I am an idiot for doing the Big 3 on cars....My customer's dad was told that doing the BIG 3 ruins your electrical system...Now I know why this particular shop has NEVER had an install that could do anything above mid 130s....LMAO.....I guess I need to make a road trip in the BMW and let them dumbasses take a listen after I re-arrange some of their shit on the shelves with my 148.8 @ 43hz with my BIG 3 helping make it all happen....LMAO

And this is why I feel how I do about 90% of local shops

do it man that is just plain stupid more potential transfer = better current and voltage how could it not help your electrical, this is why soo many local shops are closing they could care less and show it

It's a liability thing...if shops get barraged with requests for doing the Big 3 and their mechanics are already undertrained, how many workers do you think are going to botch that up? Replacing wires vice adding wires...I doubt it has anything to do with the shop owner's intelligence...the owner is protecting his insurance deductible.

I have had many "pros" tell me it was useless. I guess I just need a capacitor. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

At least someone is talking truth. This "big 3" nonsense ain't nothing but snake oil.

I was once told it bypasses the car's computer and the alt overcharges the battery.

Oh no!!!! I got a dislike from a 13er with zero post..... I'm done here. My Rep is ruined.... because it was so awesome before.

On a side note I got 18 feet of 2/0 left. Big 3 next weekend for the s10. Even though I heard from a Guy that a trusted shop says it isn't worth it.... ill give it a shot.

I would love to hear their reasoning! LOL

I also love when people say the best grounding point on a vehicle is the engine block. Had a guy running 2/0 to his engine block and no other upgrades. Tried explaining to him that the engine is isolated via the rubber motor mounts and his ground basically consists of the factory bare ground straps going from his block to his battery/chassis. He's still having electrical issues last I knew, blows amps left and right. "The engine block is a giant chunk of metal, what could possibly be a better ground" lol guys clueless

If only he did a chassis to engine block run he'd be close to correct... lol

Even then, the best grounding point is still the battery terminal. Its amazing how many people don't know that a vehicleisn't actually "grounded" itself.
