| Has anyone done the Big 3 upgrades to their MO? I'm looking into doing it and wonder what kind of fuse they used with the upgrade. and how long the process it took to do. |

Haven't heard of anybody doing it, but a several folks have replaced various stereo pieces and probably should do it.

The "Big Three" upgrade means improving the current capacity of three cables: 1) alternator positive to battery positive, 2) battery negative to chassis, and 3) engine ground to chassis. Some people replace the factory wiring; others add additional cables to the factory wiring. |

I can appreciate the reason; but why?:confused:
I haven't noticed any need for doing all that work. I did however add 1 more grounding cable (4ga.) from the battery to the body when I upgraded my stereo. |

A while back generator did a major upgrade to his sound system, which included running welder's cable from the battery to the rear. He may have the information you are looking for. The link can be found here: My Bose System Upgrade Journal
I think you are going to find the problem is not with the wiring, but with the alternator output. The CVT makes the VQ a relatively slow revving engine. Because of that, the alternator is usually operating in the lower end of it's envelope. There are very few surplus amps available between idle and 1,500 RPM.
Good luck.
