[QUOTE="cas0586, post: 8329279, member: 663683"] Well, I butchered the thread title and can't change it. My apologies. Looking for opinions on whether or not doing a big three upgrade is worth while on my vehicle with installed components listed below. [LIST] [*]Amplifier - [URL="http://www.bossaudio.com/auto/car-audio-sound-system-auto-5-channel-amplifier-boss-audio-cxx2705/"]Boss CXX2705 1200W RMS Class AB 5-Channel Chaos Exxtreme Series Amplifier[/URL] [*]Front - [URL="http://www.cadencesound.com/cs2-65k/"]Cadence CS2.65K[/URL] [*]Rear - [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_42483_Jensen-JRX235.html"]Jensen JRX235[/URL] [*]Subwoofer - [URL="http://www.jlaudio.com/12w1v2-4-car-audio-w1v2-subwoofer-drivers-92074"]JL 12w1v2-4[/URL] [/LIST] Very modest here, but leaps better than stock. The battery in this vehicle('96 Aurora) is under the rear seat. There is a 20 foot run of 4 gauge wire from battery to alternator(about the same to the starter). Split at junction box under hood. It has 140A stock CS144 alternator. I have a short five foot run of 4 gauge wiring from battery to 5CH amplifier. Do not experience any dimming issues or low voltage at idle with stereo cranked that I have noticed thus far. Due to the long run of wire and '1200W' amplifier would upgrading to 1/0 cable be worth while. I figure this would be benefit the stereo system. While also benefiting starting/charging system. I would be upgrading typical 'big 3' as well as larger gauge to starter and fuse blocks. What is the consensus here? The upgrade is going to cost around $100 with KnuKonceptz 1/0 and proper terminals. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
