Where can I get big three done in the space coast/orlando area

[Bigpete757 10+ year member]

I live in the space coast/orlando florida area and will need to get the big three done soon. I have called up a few audio shops like best buy, etc., mention the big three and they have no clue what I am talking about. I live about an hour away from orlando but know there has to be some good car audio shops in that city. Could somebody please point me in the right direction of a place to go or another CA member to talk to about this issue. It would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

why dont you do it yourself?

what of car do you have?

Exactly. Why NOT do it yourself? This is an easy thing to do, just need the wire...

You should definitely do it yourself. It isn't worth the money to have someone else do such an easy job for you.

Obvousily he doesn't/cant do it himself, wether it be no skills/tools or no time.

I would find a member here that can lend u a hand, it will be the most cost effective way.

This is honestly like... The least time consuming thing, with just about zero tools needed >_>

If he doesn't have tools for this, then he should go get some. Immediately. As a man, I wouldn't be caught dead without pliers, wrenches, and screwdrivers -.-

Thanks for the advice. I already had one member pm me and offer to help but he lives a little far away so are trying to find others. How would I go about finding CA members who live around the Orlando area. Is there some way to search for them on the site or maybe post a thread in some forum asking for this help.

Guys I am in a similar situation. I know exactly what to do on my car too as someone else on here took pics of most of the install. But living in an apt where we're not allowed to work on our cars at all and being in school full time during the week and working on the weekends, at least in my case I don't have the time or the work area, even though I DO have the tools. So I hate when everyone jumps on the "just do it yourself!!!!" bandwagon when you don't know all the facts. The engine bay and electrical work isn't the safest place that an amateur (and I admit I AM an amateur) should be tinkering around with alone because a bunch of people on a forum said it would be cheaper. If someone lived in my area and could walk me through it and helped me knock it out in and hour I'd love to finally upgrade my wiring.....

I may be able to help you out, I just sold all my 1/0 wire but I am getting some more and ends as well.. I have a great crippler and could solder the ends if needed or wanted..

that sucks if you cant work on your car in your own parking spot for it

out front of the apartment.

my vette would be out of commission 100% of the time if that was on me.

as for the wiring, its not insanely hard , but can be frustrating as heck at times.

having a dude help you with the install willl be good if he already has exp in the big 3.

one thing I have to say, maby this is just on my car, but when I did the alternator positive to battery positive charge wire, I did use a fuze block, but I found that the battery constantly was back feeding the alternator poles electricity , when the engine was not running and it caused my battery to drop to 10v or lower in 3 days time.

I fixed it tho, by using a marine grade battery cut off switch, wired in line from the alt + to the battery + so when ever im done driving, I just turn off the switch and no battery drain.
