Default Trying to do the Big Three

Can my fellow cl people plz help me do the big three on my 3gs... I know wat needs to be done.. Just wanted some one to walk me thru it on this specific car. Theres alot of instructions on how to do it all over the internet, but none on this car (06 gs300, or maybe I just couldn't find it). If any of y'all have some pics, that would definitely help alot.. Thnx in advance

Lmao... "The Big Three" upgrade means improving the current capacity or upgrading three cables: 1) alternator positive to battery positive wire, 2) battery negative to chassis wire, and 3) engine ground to chassis wire.

I actually just done it but not on a GS and I had someone in Ridgewood do it. They used 0 gauge wires.

I don't understand how no ones knows about this... Anybody that has ever upgraded Their system should have done the big three!!* Performing a "Big 3" upgrade on your vehicle is one way to improve the electrical system performance and its ability to supply power to your audio system.* This upgrade will help any vehicle using an after-market amplified stereo system, and most certainly should be performed on any vehicle after a high-output alternator is installed.

I think people know about these upgrades and benefits from them, but many just aren't familiar with the term "Big 3".

Your absolutely correct. Most people aren't familiar with the "big 3" but are aware of the upgrades. But the lion taking a crap had me howling out loud!!!

I thought you were talking about wheels, suspension, and stereo upgrades. The trifecta

the big 3 helps when you upgrade ur stereo system, putting a bigger gauge wire helps by letting the current flow more freely
