MrFree Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 Hello everyone; I have done a couple search's and I wasn't able to find what I was looking for so I figured I would make a thread. Could anyone tell me how to wire up a Big 3 with 2 alts.Do I just run the alts together and run one alt to the battery?

memphisBred Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 I'd run a power and ground from each alt to your front battery. SMD Super Seller/Buyer Audison----Hertz----Rainbow
MrFree Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Posted April 11, 2012 this is going to sound stupid but I didnt think they had a ground. So dont connect the alts, just wire them both to the battery R.I.P...99'Dodge Grand Caravan 03 Lancer Oz Big 3 HU-JVC KD-530 RCA's-rockerfosgate 41/2 inch Infinity mids Subs-(12's)2 Orion xtr124 Amp-Coustic600se battery-2 x stock, 1x Shuriken SK-BT20 Box-L-ported 3.562cubes@35Hz miscellaneous-stinger volt-meter, gain nob, (coming soon bass pro,eq,line drive) I dont have flex yet but damn I sound good,(coming soon....flex) Check out my HHR install Everything I install or build here:http://s1160.photobu...s/q485/MrBfree/ Also video's of my Car with the new box.http://www.youtube.c...lentGyge/videos
memphisBred Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 I'm guessing your alts will have two to three bolts holding them to the bracket. Run a 1/0 wire or two, from your battery negative post, to one of those bolts, for an engine block ground(s). I'd prefer a 1/0 wire to each alt. On the alt ground, make sure where the alt is bolted down to the engine block is free of paint/dirt/etc(bare metal). SMD Super Seller/Buyer Audison----Hertz----Rainbow

MECHMAN Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 I'm guessing your alts will have two to three bolts holding them to the bracket.

On the alt ground, make sure where the alt is bolted down to the engine block is free of paint/dirt/etc(bare metal). Good advice. Running the ground directly from the alternators to the battery negative is always the best way to do this. 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected]
