you want ur h/u to have 3 sets... front/rear/sub... how much power u running to need a bigger alt?


Right now i have a 375rms amp for my subs , but my lights dim at night if i turn my system up.. So i should probably get that before anything.

you can buy a Y cable and turn it into 2 sets but sound quality goes way down and you loose some of your settings.. its not a good way to go at all but you can do it.

big 3 upgrade?
I've heard the term before in this section but whats it mean?

e// Any 3-RCA single-din head units that you guys can recommend? My friend said he would buy the radio i just purchased asap after hearing how clear it was, soo I might want to upgrade that soon.

and big 3 upgrade is replacing 3 wires in your car.

the alternator to batter + wire
the battery - to body ground
the engine to body ground

is your battery top or side post? if its side post then you won't have to consider new battery terminals when you do this.

you'll need to measure those 3 wires i mentioned above and then buy that many feet worth of 1/0 cable from the link above.

you'll also need 4 to 6 of the 1/0 ring terminal. 6 if you have side post or want to use ring terminals on the battery terminals

4 if you want to use wire directly connected to the battery terminals.
