David Bailey Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ok, so I have a 2007 Toyota Camry 4 cyl. I want to run a bigger mono amp for my 12, along with my MMats e600 4ch on my highs. I realize that power might be a problem, so I wanted to do the big 3. Problem is, when I look under the hood, I get lost. The alt wire looks like it runs into the engine, and the power off the battery splits right after the connection.. So, can I just run new wires on top of the existing wires, or do I need to remove the wires that are already there and replace.. Does that make explanation make any since? Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?

sprkn_ranger Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Just ADD new wires. No need to remove any of the stock wiring.

rockFord_Expedition Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yup. Add to, don't replace. Also, the big 3 isn't going to help you get more power. It just improves the flow of everything in your vehicle and helps your alt work to its full potential. If your oem alternator is 110 amps, the big 3 won't make it put out 130.

David Bailey Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yeah I am aware of that, but from what I read the big 3 is a good starting point for electrical upgrades. I am thinking my stock alt should be fine, since (for now) I only plan on running 2 amps. (Under 2000 watts total power). One Mmats 600 watt that I already run, and an as yet to be purchased mono amp for my subs. I am still doing research on that amp anyway. Thanks guys.

bbeljefe Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 You'll be okay with that power on the stock alternator but I would seriously consider adding a battery. It'll help.

David Bailey Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Oh and one more thing.. Will doing the big 3 help with alt noise that I get sometimes? I am hoping the bigger ground might help. I have tried damn near everything and I still get a little bit of noise through my speakers.. I don't listen to a lot of talk radio, but when I do, it drives me F'n nuts. Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?

sprkn_ranger Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 It might help...but it's hard to say for sure. Just make sure all your grounds are really good and solid. If your amps aren't grounded directly to the chassis/frame then you should do that before anything else.

OrzechNJ Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 big3 is a good starting point for electrical upgrades.. go for it and post pics! dont forget to sand off the grounding spots and put some rubber coating on it .. good luck sometimes Loud is NOT pretty Sounds like its safe to go ahead and bend that ass over.

Sounds like you have a poor ground to the head unit. It's the reference ground for the audio signal so if it's noisy, everything will be. Make sure it's grounded very well and you'll not have any noise... unless you have a damaged piece of equipment.
