Big 3 upgrade

[Slick50]

I need advice where in Metro Manila I can have Big 3 upgrade.

Here is what I am putting into my SUV.

Pioneer GM-D8500M (300w RMS at 4 ohms)to power Kicker 10CVT124 (400w RMS * 4 ohms)

Bazooka MGA4150 (100w RMS x 4 x 4 ohms) to power 4 Infinity Kappa 63.91 - (75w RMS)

I have 6 (35 watt) HID installed on my SUV.

I can do that sir, i have a lot of experience doing the big 3 thing, i always do it in most competition cars.

Please PM me a estimate. I would also like to include a fuse between the alternator and the battery for extra protection. 2011 Montero Sport.

Weird, I think di mo pa kilangan ng Big 3 upgrade then. Most people usually do it once they start seeing dimming headlights at idle.

[tsikotshop]

He just want to maximize the power requirements for the whole accessories sir, i think for future purposes kaya nya kelangan big three upgrade, for the full performance, he don't want to wait goes headlight dimming before he act to do something, big three upgrade eliminate tension in the wires and provide less corrosion to the terminals, if you notice the original wires, its only for the installed accessories, so if you add something there, the tension on wires is present, big three is better than grounding kit, big three is better than adding additional battery or another power supply and also big three can also maximize the current cycle to the whole circuit without the tension or great resistance..

gusto ko i-diy itong big 3. ok na ba yung gauge 4 wire and gamitin? dun lang ako sa +bat to +alt nag-aalangan. alin ba dito yung + post ng alt.... A or B?



*tsikotshop - pre, pa pm naman nung price mo para + alt to + bat connection. yung sa dalawang connection kaya ko na yun. thanks

I see, newbie palang ako sa mga electrical systems ng kotse eh maybe I should add it in my to-do-lists in the future.

I prefer to be proactive rather than breaking down in the middle of no where. I've also ordered a 2.0 Farad Capacitor.

If I still lack power, I'll upgrade my alternator if needed.

[tsikotshop]

Big three will be enough sir, thats the only thing you do for your system, capacitor will do little help, , but get a real one for these, the function of the capacitor is to pick huge current that cannot carry by your battery, and firstly force the current to the accessories that requires more power, so your battery will last longer, dapat dito, sigurado wiring mo, kase di po pwede lagyan ng fuse ito, magiging useless.

[Slick50]

Thank you Sir for the info.

Can't wait to have all my **** installed.

naka sched na din ako ng big 3 kay jon aka tsikotshop... actually nakapila na yung mag papa big 3 hehehe... hintay lang namin dating ng mga wires

[jedi]

jon aka tsikotshop is currently doing the BIG 3 sa setup ko hopefully matapos na lahat bukas lahat.

BUMP, alin nga ba sa dalawang ito ang + ng alternator?

[tsikotshop]

BUMP, alin nga ba sa dalawang ito ang + ng alternator?

It is always the larger wire sir, mostly it range 8ga wire or 6ga.
Ingat po sa ilalagay nyong wire, always fuse it the same size of the current ability of the alternator, always for safety. Then the wire will surely never touch the ground, terminals must be fit correctly to the positive terminal of your alternator, if not, it makes no sense, the porpose of big three is to avoid power losses and maximize current plow every cycle, always disconect negative battery terminal before installing the positive to positive connection to avoid short circuit and current spikes. Connect first your wire to the positive terminal of the alternator, then secure first the fuse block, remove the fuse, then connect the wire, then the wire from fuse to the positive terminal of your battery, do not connect the fuse, complete the grounding connection, engine to chassis, engine to battery ground, battery ground to chassis. Again do not connect the fuse, start your engine first if all the wires are secure, check all the instruments if all is working fine, no sign of bad indicator at the gauge bay, like check engine, if all is working fine, turn off all the instruments and the engine, connect the fuse to the fuse block, see to it that there is no spikes that happen there. then start the engine again, test all instruments. All must be working as you know it, good luck.

^ thanks a lot, Yan nga sabi sa research ko.

Sayang la me dyan kaya hindi puwede sa inyo ipagawa eh. Sa suking lectrician na lang. Print ko lang yung step by step instruaction.

[Ginnova]

anong wire gauge ang normally ginagamit for a Big3 upgrade

[tsikotshop]

gauge 4 minimum..

[Ry_Tower]

Ang hirap maghanap ng in-line fuse na 100A. kakainis, yun nn lang kulang sa DIY ko sa big 3. arghhhh!!!

[Ginnova]

do you really need a 100A fuse? anong brand ng wire ang gamit nyo. how much for a meter.
