Dead link...
Re: (Q451990)
The big 3 is usually meant for older cars with low gauge wiring in those areas.
It's also meant for hard bass hits and cars that have a lot of toys in them, in that case buy some 0 gauge wire and do it. It really isn't hard just follow the battery wires to wherever they go and replace them with the 0 gauge.
If this doesn't help you might want to consider a capacitor so when the bass hits it doesn't strain your alternator and make your lights dim.

Yeah, 2 jl audio amps, 500 watts apiece. One to 2 10 in subs, one to 6 in car speakersDimming is only during loud hard bass

Re: (crna1)
Sounds like alternator killer to me!
Better fill up the trunk with capacitors.

Re: (crna1)
In that case you need at least the big 3 and a 4 farad cap. Maybe more.crna1 wrote:Yeah, 2 jl audio amps, 500 watts apiece. One to 2 10 in subs, one to 6 in car speakersDimming is only during loud hard bass

Re: (lasoyafan)
Why not add a an extra battery or two in the trunk?
Re: (ppastos)
how exactly does that work. I mean, I cant just throw a battery in the trunk right..it needs to be on a charging system, and if its the same charging system as my other batt. what difference does it make, it still draws from the same alternator?
Re: (crna1)
All you do is unhook the battery from the Hood and put it in the trunk.
Just kidding. Need to SAFELY run Positive/Negative wires to the back. Remember, only do it safely and securely... you don't want your car to die out because a wire is too squished.

Re: (Kiven422)
The wiring is easy..already have 4g wire from battry to amp. Just do not see the benefit of putting another battery between current battery and amp.what am i missing here?
