Before:



And After:

So here is my completed job. Took about 6 hours and a lot of research/guesswork.







4/12/2011 - I recently got a high output alternator (about 3 months ago) from a seller on ebay (contact me if you are interested). That beast puts out 15.8 volts to my battery when im idling.. inside the car reads a constant 14.4 volts. Running two amplifiers and not having any power problems at all!

 

Ok....... Ill bite.

Whats the "Big 3?"

New filter

New Battery.

..................................... Oil Change?...... lol

just kidding.......

Sorta........

?????


(I was never good at "Wheres Waldo?...")

 

Yeah, I'm not seeing the 3rd thing. Cleaned(maybe painted) the fuse box cover?

 

lmao WOW the big 3 is upgrading your battery to chassis ground wire, alternator to battery positive wire, and alternator to ground wire..........

 

WOW is RIGHT!!...... Duh!... stupid me.

Thanks for helpin a brotha out!

<Sarcasm off>

So, why is it the BIG 3?..... pray tell?....

Enlighten the less fortunate as to why its such a big deal.

So that we too, may see the light and understand the error of our ways and how our lives (and Lancers!) will be enriched by it!

 

I have literally never heard that before, but upon further research, I'm not too big on loud *** sound systems, therefor I would not have known.

 

Im big into car audio, its a word well known in our society Anyone with a subwoofer and amplifier should know about this. Its even on youtube. lol <_<

If you still have your stock positive terminal, check out the clear looking fuse that says "100 amp alt" I removed all that and replaced that fuse with the larger digital one shown; not located on the battery

 

did it make a difference?

 

Yes, the lights don't dim anymore.

 

Just an update. I got a high output alternator from a seller on ebay (contact me if you are interested). That beast puts out 15.8 volts to my battery when im idling.. inside the car reads a constant 14.4 volts. Running two amplifiers and not having any power problems at all!
