Big 3 did nothing =(

[satish1015]

So i did the big 3 on my car the other day and i saw no difference in my voltage -___- im PISSED! burned my finger soldering the 0 gauge for nothing!! Although i will admit the voltage does hesitate a little before dropping.. guess i thought i was gonna go from 14.1 to like 14.5-14.6

i also added a kinetik up front to go with the one in the back too

voltage will stay the same your drop will be less. The voltage is regulated on your alternator so it will not increase, the big 3 only creates a path of less resistance so your volts shouldn't drop as much if you did it correctly

It won't up your voltage, it'll help keep your voltage up under strain.

I think 14.1 ain't too bad to be honest.

the big 3 isn't SUPPOSED to raise your voltage. its sole job is to decrease resistance between the alt and the battery. some car manufactures use smaller than optimal gauge wiring for the charging system. some use adequate gauges.

the added voltage is just a bonus. dont expect it.

Consider that the big 3 isn't for voltage performance, although it does that too. It's a safety consideration because the stock wires aren't meant to handle the load of aftermarket accessories, especially if you have an HO alternator.

Kranny you ninja!

Simple awnser

It helps more for current draw

oh! that makes a lot of sense lol.. so then it did help.. i guess i thought it was SUPPOSED to give me a voltage increase.. thanks for clearing that up for me guys!

[satish1015]

so is there any kinda modification i can make to the alternator to increase the regulation output? or will that basically be a HO alternator? sorry i don't know much about alternators itself.. i'd be glad if someone taught me =D

i have not heard about them in a long time but people use to up there voltage with an MLA moudule
