EDIT: Don't waste your Time Go here if your interested as I was ---> http://www.caraudio.com/forum/wiring-electrical-installation-help/152355-official-caraudio-com-big-3-thread.html
Ive been sort of studying on my own before I discovered this forum a while back to learn as much as I can in this interesting hobby.
Just from absorbing information and lingo on the board I know that the big 3 refers to the need for power upgrades needed in a more robust audio system.
I know that 1 of the 3 is a high output alternator. (Ding, what do I win!) (This is wrong)
Number two is an aux Battery (or batteries as it may be) Also wrong
Number 3, hmm, does this refer to wiring upgrades necesary for the first two? (I'm getting closer)
Or, does it refer to (1) Alt, (2) Batt., (3) the other Batt.? (Strike 3)
Also, at what level of system power is the big 3 NOT needed.
I'm guessing that anything over say 1 KW needs the big three depending onlistening habits of course.
In my case I just purchased a new Alt (stock 70 amp) because my other one just happened to go out (pre system upgrade) I'm working on building a system that is gonna have 700-850 RMS potential but willmost likely not be played that loud.
Because I want to play music with the car off I'm opting for I guess the big 2? A Spare Batt in the back, but no HO Alt.
Thanks in advance for clarifying what the (3) is.
EDIT: My assumption was totally wrong, so if you too are a lingo noob keep reading and don't use my ignorance above to re-inforce your own. And check following link out -----> ( I should have done a forum search before I assumed the above.) ---> http://www.caraudio.com/forum/wiring-electrical-installation-help/152355-official-caraudio-com-big-3-thread.html
