sean 371 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 No no caps, just dont do it lol. And the big 3 means upgraded wiring in the engine bay. The three wires are: + Alt to + Bat - Bat to Ground Engine to Ground It allows more power to flow throughout the circuit that is made up of your wiring and the frame.

The problem should be fixed tonight, I just have to bolt up my upgraded grounds. I shouldnt really NEED a second battery till around 1600-2000 rms, although my RF might be pushing like 1400 (and my speaker amp does around 340), so that's why I said I might still need one. But my problem will be helped a lot by upgrading the grounds. We'll see how it goes though.

Guest Nismofreak Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Should help out. I got 13.6 volts with are turned on and no system and 12.4 volts with no system. Will do big 3 soon on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierra mist Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 appreciate it man. And yea this setup slumps pretty good. All I gotta do is finish up the big 3 and i can crank the amp a lil more. Right now I'm getting too bad of voltage drops.Post pics of your big 3 so I can copy you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean 371 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Haha okay I will when I get a chance. I'm gonna be out of town tonight but I'll post it up tomorrow. I know I'm gonna get flamed for not having a fuse between my alt and bat, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. By the way, I still get some drops, not nearly as bad though, and my volts read a solid 15 or a little over 15 when I'm at normal listening levels. Hard to tell though, I need to get a real voltmeter in there.
