"Big 3" is very easy for the car's electrical system, which will help support the higher voltage power amplifiers hungry. If you ever run the voltage drop measured when playing music with the volume up in the car, you'll see that instead of reading 14.4 V or 13.8 (depending on engine), the voltmeter, or want to read 13V, 12V even lower! You can easily see if the voltage drops experienced watching your light. If they are weakduring playback system, it is absolutely voltage fluctuations. This tension may damage the amplifier if it is quite important. I have a Sony Ericsson SSX 1500.1 blow because I had left my voltage drop of about 9-10V, the office, many would like.
What are the causes of this problem is the stock, small wires used to connect various electrical components. The stock wire is usually 8 feet, enough for about 50 amperes. Great amplifiers canattract more than 200-300amps, so now you can see the problem.
When you do this mod, 3 runs of wire to be installed. They are:
Battery positive (+) to alternator – From the positive terminal of the battery to the positive (+) post
Frame to engine block ground – From engine block to the Chasis. These are areas to be strengthened.
Battery ground (-) to chassis ground – From the negative battery terminalfor your car truck.
I recommend using 1 / 0 wire surveyor. You can wire 4 feet, when all you have to plant, but might as well use 1 / 0 for the first time, so do not come back if you decide to upgrade your system later on the street fashion. The wire is used KNU Konceptz 1 / 0 cables also Kollosus 1 / 0 ring terminals to the end of the thread to terminate.
Before doing anything, so be sure to be safe. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminalbattery before you begin. Makes a circuit incomplete and keeps you from supporting electrical damage.
First, measure the length of the wire to go from the battery positive (+) terminal of the alternator. Make sure the little valley, about 6 inches to go, so you can release the location of the cable. Termination of the cable ends with ring terminals and then connect the cable from the battery positive (+) terminal of the alternator. There may be a plastic tab fromalternator instead. If there is, go ahead and decomposition, this is what I do. If you remove the plastic tab will not be able to record from the terminal instead.
Insert a fuse to switch between battery positive (+) and the generator are highly recommended but not essential. There is a small chance that the thread is lost and a short, but it's a chance some people do not want to take. But I have no problems in 2 years I had the big 3installed, while a thread of condensed feet.
The next step is the frame to run a wire from your engine block for your car. This step can be difficult because of difficulty finding a space on the engine block, you must attach. If you are a non-essential bolt used a bolt that contain fluids back.
From there, you can then choose the side of the wire frame to add to your position on the ground. This land can be anywhere in your car frame / chassis, but notMake sure the metal-metal contact with the terminal and your position on the ground. A good start is to link stock background to the foundation of the site. If there is paint on the ground position is selected, you must sand until only the electrical resistance of the metal minimal safeguard.
The last step is to create a line of battery ground (- to run) terminal to chassis ground. Target bit slack wire and make sure 'late, ifyou need it. So, strike the end with ring terminal and attach one end to the negative terminal and the other to the ground position on the frame (as above).
When the new beefier battery ground is done, you can rock out, stop, will ground wire of Commons, because it is not necessary. If you think you're ready, go ahead and check all connections to ensure that their intimate and small.
That's it! "Big 3"is clear. You should see a voltage difference when playing the system at maximum volume. Before I upgraded, my voltage was about 10V under pressure. After the "Big 3" upgrade, my voltage under heavy load stabilized at approximately 11 Quite a big difference to what is spent on the wire and terminal. Therefore, the "Big 3" is considered the first electrical upgrade, you must do to ensure the consistency of your amplifiers.
