Can someone tell me if when i get my stereo installed if they automatically do the big three,or is this a step 2 upgrade.I am putting in a new system and want to do it right.Does it only matter if you have a big system and draw alot of power,or is it crucial,or can I get away with not doing it at all.As well is it just three wires if so seems like it should be cheap eh? or is it alternator battery and wire upgrades.IDK? WTF? lol .Can someone help the big dummy

are you asking if its included in the installation?

if so, then no they dont

tckm

alos you dont NEED it
it just helps if you do have it
i was running 2kw rms without it on my old car
and it was running at that for months...
then i totalled that car
but it seemed to be ok

no its not included with installs unless you ask for it!
do you need it? dont now. either do you until you have your system installed or your installing a big system.
if you have any dimming at all, the first thing to do is the big three. it basically eliminates power starving components by upgrading the wiring in your vehicles system. some vehicles are better wire at the factory than others..
wait till your system is in.

big three can do nothing but help.

it is very cheap and easy to do.

it is simply referring to wire upgrades (alt>batt, batt>chassis, eng>chassis)

also, they will not just automatically do it. and as said before it is not NEEDED......but for the ease and cost of the upgrade, why not?

Yea if Im already in there I might as well do it right.

theyll most likely overcharge you.
id do it yourself if i were you... if you know how to do it

which I dont,For the price of the install ...quoted a thousand.I'm thinking of doing the whole thing myself.maybe ill learn something.but the wiring of amps to batteries and re wiring a head unit.and such is kinda scaring me off

tckm

holllllllllyyy
thats a lot just for install
if i lived near you id be happy to do it for 200

just do a lot of searching.
and dont connect anything unless you are for sure that they go there
because youll fry something.
