dawgs007 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 I never performed the Big 3 upgrade, and I am on a stock alt still in a little 2.0l Focus. It seems that my 2.2 farad Bullz Audio capacitor does the trick and doesn't allow the voltage to drop too low. Current Setup: 2002 Ford Focus SE (stock electrical) -Kenwood Excelon KDC-X397 -Infinity Kappa 6x9's in each door -Rockford Fosgate Prime R1200-1D -2 12" Rockford Fosgate P3D2 Backups: -12" Power Acoustik Mofo-122X in 36hz T-Line box -Soundstream Piasso P1.1200D
