Kyblack76 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 More "dimming" after the big 3 could be just fine. Your alt is now able to let max go, as well as your AMP/elctrical is now ABLE to put what it "wants/needs" To me, it shows your actually getting/seeing the power that was always there, but being held back.....

Karlswinslow Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 What wires did you add for the big 3? You should alt+ to batt +, alt case to batt -, alt case to frame, batt - to frame. Sometimes doing the big 3 can also cause your lights to dim worse as you are now giving the amp the ability to pull more current whereas before it was bottlenecked by your wiring. i did all this except the alt case to frame. i did alt case to batt- , batt- to frame, alt+ to batt+ trying to get a pic ina few.

Adding the big 3 should not increase your voltage. Wires dont make voltage. UNLESS you where held back from something. (the oem wiring should be more than enough to get you the most out of OEM gear) Like a bad connection, or shitty corroded wire. That said, now that the alt can "dump" its full output, your amp will TAKE all of it, dragging you down even more than before. Its just letting your after market gear, work like it should.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yep your fine put the wire back you took out though. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
