WillPwn4Food Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Big three completion with 0 awg and biggest wire your amp will take. As well as all good connections. 2nd batt then IMO.

Soccerballzs Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hey have Jeep Commander here 3.7 motor. Had same issue here. Do big 3 run 0 from alternator straight battery. Do no upgrade the other wire that goes to pcm in front behind battery. You will need to also run 0 Ground to engine also for alternator on this vehicle. Run 0 ground to battery also. You also will need extra battery also. I installed XS Power D3100 in mine. This will stop it from dimming. Do you have 160 amp alternator? http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/garage/vehicle/2438-jeep-commander/I Pioneer P99RSAmpere 38002-Ampere 125/44-6.5 inch Hertz HSK XL Mids4-8 inch JL Audio ZR Midwoofer 2-5.25 Satori Mids2-Morel Tweeters, 2 Hertz Milles 3 inch on A pillars2-Hertz Silk tweeters DC Audio Level 5/12 Skyhigh Wire Mechman 320 XS Power D3100MO Funniest Thread of the Year 2013: http://www.stevemead...dy-being-a-pos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillPwn4Food Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Remember... big 3 is an upgrade, not a replacement. keep old wires. just add on.

[email protected] Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 i found a kit on kijiji,150$ for a 1400 kinetik batt,20-25ft of 0awg,and a battery isolator...i think im on buisness now!!! the next thing i need to know before installing all this,is the order of the battery...should i keep the old(original) battery in front and drop the kinetik in trunk?or the opposite?? or maybe only the kinetik may be ok for the whole system? is it ok for having 2 different battery in the same system?? 2x SSA XCON 15'' 2 basworx 3000.1d 1 kinetik 1800 & exide 85amph skyhigh 1/0 all-around Grimreaper spl team co-president Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finkster Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 If you have a lead acid battery then you don't want to run it in the cabin of your car.

[email protected] Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 oh...so the old batt stay under the hood and the kenetik at the back....got it!!! so it dosent matter if they are not the same type (acid and gel) even plug together? i was worried about the fact that my old batt is 600 or 900 amp,and the new one is 1400...i was thinking that may cause an issue... 2x SSA XCON 15'' 2 basworx 3000.1d 1 kinetik 1800 & exide 85amph skyhigh 1/0 all-around Grimreaper spl team co-president Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
