Best big 3 upgrade video I have seen man good job!!

@LiquidTies 4 года назад

EXO thank you for the training. Your vids are easy to follow, your personality and attitude make watching your channel a pleasure.

@mattburgess2 10 лет назад

Great job! I like to use dielectric grease on all my connections , just so they don't rust or corrode in time. Especially living in New England with the winter road salt.

@jimdavidson5208 6 лет назад

Great advice sir.

@HemiLyfestyle 2 года назад

I just finished this upgrade and I used dielectric grease too

@epzbarlow77 10 лет назад

Your vid of the big 3 that you did on your van,oh yeah the van, was the FIRST video of yours I ever watched. Here we are years later and your still making em' and I'm still watching em'.Outstanding work over the years man. Thanks for the good times EXO!

@jamespaulson5486 4 года назад

Just finished the Big 3 on my vehicle last Saturday. It is a great upgrade to any vehicle. All that extra current flow helps with cranking and ignition as well as getting more amps to the battery in a shorter time. Watch the video and do it.

@josecampos4519 Год назад

I have my subs and amp power coming from the front battery, when I put the bass up my lights on dash board dim will this upgrade help me in my situation ?

@7volcast 5 лет назад

There were a bunch of video options on how to do Big 3 but when I saw you had one up I knew which one to watch 🤙🏽 thanks for all the great videos

@Clare.1985 7 месяцев назад

Im so glad that I found your channel. We have practically the same vehicle which made this extremely easy to follow along. Im very glad you were the one to explain this. You do a very good job on your content.

@JamesHaist 8 лет назад

Let me just say your videos are killer. Your hilarious and you know what your taking about. Appreciate all the hard work man.

@TToums 10 лет назад

its amazing how much that big 3 upgrade actually helps the system. proper grounding for amps and batterys are too the thing to keep in mind with building a system. great video again EXO!

@yusufjorgenz5951 4 года назад

Watch how to measure ground resistance for maximum power

@louielopez5498 3 года назад

thanks so much , i have a 2000 watt system in my 95 Suburban and headlights where dimming so bad when bass hitt . but now its perfect!

@jrmartinez5439 10 лет назад

@rodolfosotelo5929 3 года назад

Agree GO NINERS!!!

@AlanBassheadMX 10 лет назад

Great man ... I remember your old big 3 video that was helpfull as this one :)

@GRINDxGOD 10 лет назад

Just what I was looking for, you the man EXO

@yoshi1u2 10 лет назад

That is pretty interesting, but what really helped me on my wiring was to run positive and negative cables straight back to my amp instead of bolting to ground. That helped my dimming lights. I'm pretty sure the big three will only make it better.

@johnebuckland 7 лет назад

cheers for the great vid EXO! super helpful

@d46313 9 лет назад

Great video. Gonna be doing a bigger install pretty soon and this helps out allot.

@edubb7491 5 лет назад

@bobbotron8001 4 года назад

Its a good thing theyre easy to work on you gotta work on em often

@bobpamharrison8331 3 года назад

The 3800 are one of the best engines GM has made, Thus why they call them lifetime motors. They run 300K miles easily if taken care of. Wife has a grand prix for 13 years now and still runs like a new. .

Great video, thanks for posting. Question, did you see any change in your electrical system after the upgrade?

@johnnybravo1700 4 года назад

Loved the video you said you didn’t have to remove your existing body ground you just added another one

@based_will 10 лет назад

Helped a ton man! I own a GM w body myself and this vid makes it look like a piece of cake! I had one question tho. When u went from the battery negative to frame ground, did u drill a new hole or fine one? Thanks!

@ryanbrandt3374 3 года назад

Great vid there buddy! Have a Moxie on me. Heating my magnum ready for a system before wintah just need a suggestion for a good head unit.

@_JoeMomma 3 года назад

I watched this video a while ago and ever since I’ve been using that razor blad method to strip wire

@waveydavey2721 4 года назад

Great video mate, would it be a good idea to do the engine earth lead as well?

@billywalls3378 5 лет назад

really apreciate your step by step really helps alot!! but question. i have a chevy hhr the battery is in the hatch. can you try and find a video or try and do a video covering this? i dont want to run my wires thru my car. just figured you would give the best explanation on this. prolly already covered it but im wet behind the ears 😂😂

@jerrynski6944 10 лет назад

@6ckbass 9 лет назад

@c0uchsl0uch 2 года назад

I see you did a good job with securing all the OFC . What I wanna know is did you notice any improvement on your stereo system?

@Telexic 10 лет назад

This would have been so helpful like 2 months ago when I did the big 3 on my monte carlo lol.

@carspec-therighteyebeforey77 2 года назад

You made that look easy!

@wutsappeninwitchu6289 10 лет назад

EXO, U ARE DEFINITELY ON POINT WITH EVERYTHING U DO. LOVE UR WORK. Wish I could work with or for U. ALONG WITH STEAVE MEADE OF COURSE. But, my question to U is can I use the current 4 gauge from my wiring kit as an electrical upgrade wire from my battery to the alternator? Currently in the midst of replacing everything within my car audio category. I have MASSIVE voltage drops even off a Yellow Top Battery.

@chatomairi 10 лет назад

Very cool good work.

@martinboyne8745 4 года назад

@EXOcontralto 5 лет назад

Thank YOU for watching!

@mrp19285 10 лет назад

A lot better then the video you did years ago. I believe it was in a station wagon.

@dkhill27 10 лет назад

I have always I guess done a big 4. Do what you did in the big 3 but added a ground from my engine block to the frame. My side post negative terminal had a thick wad of wires coming from it. 3 (0) gauge and then the factory ground wires. Was actually thinking about putting in a ground from the cab to the frame. That way everything is grounded good

@chefleon2967 10 лет назад

Great video EXO. does the type of 0 gauge wire matter and what wattage should you use this on? Like 1500 or 2000?

@flyguy081 4 года назад

What up bro I always watch your videos when I in doubt about something. I was wondering if I cant find my engine ground wire to chassis what way can I ground it?

@keithsanders1781 7 лет назад

thank you so much!

@TheGeno2001h 4 года назад

Amazing thank you

@ibarrera200 8 лет назад

thanks for sharing

@periziv2346 7 лет назад

Thanks for this nice video, just one question, i have 2 Rockfords 200 Amp Circuit Breakers connected to my positive lead on the battery, should i use a bigger rate fuse on this installation or should i use the 300A fuse? Thanks

@ronnydisalvo80 2 года назад

Crimped with a vice grip..massive hand strength

@JDP15 7 лет назад

Exo do you have a video of how you ran the 0 gauge wire on that impala???? I have the same car and I'm trying to figure out how to run a true 0 gauge wire

@chumadoshi6987 6 лет назад

BEAUTIFUL

@donaldwhiteman3224 4 года назад

Thank you for the very simple and easy steps to follow... sad my batterybis on the other side.. i own a 04 sebring sedan . Any ideas of ground...

@PopePlatinumBeats 8 лет назад

yeah My Bonneville has the battery under the backseat....so doing the big 3 takes more wire. on the flip side... running the 0 guage from the back battery to the alternator requires no firewall drilling because the grommet for the stock power wire is nice and fat and already supplied by GM

@JerseyG_856 7 лет назад

I like the black booties!!

@Terminator13te 10 лет назад

good work, normal way to do this yes in DB drag area;-) where did the Nascar battery, please pn

@larrylandlord 10 лет назад

Nice!

@seagangstab2637 5 лет назад

I freakin love you man....

@Vemiant 4 года назад

Hey EXO! Great video. I have a 99 Ford expedition and want to do the big 3 upgrade. The default charging cable from the alt to battery runs through a junction on the passenger side before reaching the battery. Is it ok to run a 0 gauge directly to the battery?

@Massive21 9 лет назад

I give you props thumbs up

@nicothompson 10 лет назад

Nice video and set up! I got some questions. I have Honda Accord 2004. I already have yellow top battery and second battery: kinetik with capacitor. I have Kicker ZX.1500.1 amp with dual Kicker L7. I am running on both batteries with fuse 120. I am wondering if it is okay for me to add big 3 without fuse or better off with fuse? IF with fuse and 120 would be good enough? I also have stock alternator for Honda.

@markc521 Год назад

Great video, I saw someone use a 200a fuse for their classic car, not sure how old it was. I have a 1989 Chevy k1500 with a new alternator and was wondering what size amp I should use.

@tylersime5665 5 лет назад

this is soo helpful for me sense i have my impala still thanks exo been lookn for this vid definitely needed this. plus did u upgrade the alternator by any chance.👍👍

@EXOcontralto 5 лет назад

Glad it helped out, Dingo! :)

@bigcountrybang774 5 лет назад

I'm glad I watched this because I would have had done more work than I had to removing the old ground and power wire instead of just adding to.

@EXOcontralto 5 лет назад

Nice man, always working as smart as we can :)

@spinna6996 5 лет назад

Awesome video, but i have a question......How do you do the big 3 upgrade if your battery is in the boot from factory? Do you have to run 1 gauge from front to back?

@mytten 10 лет назад

I remember when he did the Big 3 in his old car. :)

@frankbush8368 5 лет назад

Exo, why did you connect a 300 amp fuse to the stock alt? stock alt amp rating? Shouldn't that fuse be set aside until you get the new H/O alt? Thanks dude, excellent video.

@ckarledge4441 5 лет назад

Oh, one thing I would have liked to have seen you use dielectric grease on the connections, a $0.99 pack which are right by the check out at any auto parts store will go a long way or better yet Parts Express has plenty of different sprays and greases to clean and protect electrical connections of all kinds...I get all kinds of great install from them for both home and car audio/video installs
