    I benefit from the Big 3...

    And no, I don't have a HO Alt.. Yet.


    But Vdroop IS an issue for you I can't say most of these kids really need to delve into it that deep. Do you know anything about Aperiodic enclosures? PM if ya do!!!

    EDIT: I think the under-lying issue is defining the benefits of Big 3. A lot of the people getting into car audio are becoming very trendy with this mod. We need a thread that is void of all this banter and really lays out the pros/cons of implementing "Big 3" upgrades. I'd be a poor candidate because I see much better solutions so long as we're not talking about SPL competitions. I'm running A/B power supply amps and I only have problems with "dimmed lights" when the vehicle is off. The amps are "stated" for 800@2ohms for subs, 50x2 for full range passeves @4ohm, and ~320x2 @4 for some passives running up front. That's a lot of power to kick around on 4awg. I've seen my DIC get up to 15.2V and my read out in the back ~14.7 during the cold mornings. This is all ran on 4awg and I have no issues with daily driving and music. I can turn everything full blast, seat heaters and all, but I don't have issues with stock configurations....maybe I'm just lucky?

    Maybe people place more emphasis on "power" than needed?<----that's what I believe. I don't need my windows to race up and down to make me feel better :/
