2/3 Of The BIG 3 Done..and OMG the difference...

Ok folks, we all know what the big 3 is, how you upgrade the following wires:

Negative Terminal To Chassis = DONE
Alt. Terminal To Battery Positive = DONE
Engine To Chassis = NOT DONE

Well, i completed the first two today, I used 0 Guage Wire For This (Do It Right The 1st Time)

Before I did this, I could not play my subs very loud without my Digital Dash flickering and dimming like no tomorrow, I also noticed my headlights dimmed a little on harder hits, and if the subs hit too hard, the radio/subs would even shut off at times from pulling too much power.

I am not running a huge system... 2 Alpine Type E's at 250 RMS each, 450 watt Alpine amp, Kenwood HU, Sony speakers....

After the upgraded wiring...

I can now play my subs as LOUD as they will go, and NOTHING FLICKERS, NO DIMMING AT ALL!!!

I went from having to keep my subs at a low level with risk of them shutting off, to now being able to give me a full body massage with the bass the system now allows me to play

I knew that upgrading these wires were gonna help out a little bit...but not this much...

Call me a liar.. But this upgrade has turned out to be a miracle cure for me, no more dimming and no more dash flickering is absolutely wonderful.

The materials to complete this project didnt cost much, right under 50$ for:

8 Ft of 0 Guage wire
Five 0 Guage Connectors
1 Neg. Battery Post Power Block (Neg. to chassis)

I will have pictures up by tomorrow night.
