I am going to do the big three upgrade this weekend (hopefully) and i was just wondering if any1 here has done it? I would just like to see a few pictures. thank you.

what is the big three upgrade?

you going to buy a GM, Ford, and Chrysler car all this weekend???? not sure I call than an upgrade, but....... :lmao:

Big 3 upgrade:dunno: I must be getting old

it beefs up the electrical system.

to do it: run a low gauge wire (o, 2, or 4) from:
1) Battery negative to chassis
2) Alternator to battery positive
3) Chassis to engine

this reduces light dimming on bass notes, and improves overall voltage of the electrical system.

Zing....poor Chrysler :dunno:

I did just the negative to chasis with a 0 gauge and that made a pretty big difference on its own. I have much less headlight dim than I had before.

ya, i just did it with 4 gauge, cuz thats all i had, but ya, much less headlight dim.

So in other words you are making a grounding kit. Lots of people have grounding kits, though most of them are on V6performance.net. I'd like to get one at some point.

Kinda but not really. What you are doing is decreasing the amount of resistance in between your alternator and battery so it can charge it much more sufficient. Since I havea 200a alternator the big3 upgrade was a MUST for me to get the current on demand and not burn up any wires from sending a large amount of current.


speaking of which I just changed my belts saturday :) it was makin a sqeel noise so I got a smaller belt and decided to change powersteering belt while i was at it.

Megalo i have a few questions...

your alt, was it a direct bolt on or did you mod the bracket?
you have any more pictures of your big 3? that one picture is great i was wondering if you took more.
did you have any pictures of where the power cuts through the firewall? i first had my car worked on i didn't do it myself, i can kinda see where it goes, but then it just dips down and left real quick and i can't see anymore. only saying because i'm going to have to run some 1/0 through it soon.

not needed info but j/w
did you ever figure out or know the resonant frequency of the accord? did ou ever use that to detemine your enclosure tuning frequencies?
