how to do a big 3 on my car


Recommended Posts

i have a '08 pontiac grand prix gxp with the 5.3l v8 and i can not figure out why every time i run my 1/0 nwire from the alt to the battery, it starts freaking out. i need help with my big three uprade as i am gearing up for my next big build.... 2 lvl 4 12's with a dc 5k. i have a xs dc power 250 alt, alot of 1/0 wire and a american bass 350.4 on my memphis m class mids and highs. if anyone knows of this car or can figure out my problem, please let me know.

First off, XS power, and DC power, are two different companies. Figure out what the alt is first before you state what it is. Second, what do you mean it starts freaking out? Are you installing it with the car running or something?

Edit: Noticed this is in the DC Sound Lab section, DC Audio, and DC power, again, are two different companies.

i'd contact your aftermarket alt manufacturer (DC power) on how to do this. unless someone else has worked on these cars and knows what to do.

edit: but yeah, define "freaking out"
