whats the big three

[Foote 10+ year member]

no but i want a new one anyway, any suggestions? price is kind of a factor, also is 4 gage power wire o.k.? like amp install wire?

4 gauge power wire is fine for 800-1000 watts.

even with another amp for the front speakers?

as long as its (the amp you may add) not more then 500 watts rms youll be fine with 4 gauge wire and stock alt. But youd be best to upgrade battery and do the big 3. I dont think replacing alts is really neccessary until you get into 1800-2000+ watts range...

at 800-1000 watts (with a friend measuring it closer to 800) he is going to be ok with the stock alt... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

Well, true. Unless it's around a 40A alt in an econobeater. Primarily why I was asking... it's rare but they pop up from time to time.

okay cool, so i'll find out what the alt amp rating is and get a battery? and replace the wiring... a deep cycle battery is the way to go, i heard something about optima batteries i think. what do you guys suggest?

optimas are good but now a days people seem to be replacing those with Kinetiks.

I like the yellow top optima personaly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Start with the big 3 (largest gauge wire you can fit/afford), then go from there. You might not even need a new battery.
