Default BIG 3 Upgrade

Hi guys,

Just wondering, about the BIG 3 upgrade. I am purchasing a new subby and amp (Hifonic Olympus 2412 (2400rms) & Hifonic Brutus BXI-2608d (2600rms)) and I already have 2 sets of Type R 6.5" running of a 4-channel alpine amp (the speakers are only 75 or 70rms).

I was wondering if I should upgrade to the BIG 3, if I do I'd get 0 Gauge.

Also.... what does 1/0 mean? I see a lot of 1/0 gauge cable...

1/0 is 0ga. Although your not running enough to REQUIRE the BIG 3 I would definetly recommend upgrading the battery to earth.

Yay. I was hoping I wouldn't need to upgrade the BIG 3. I have enough expenses at the moment getting this sub+amp and having to run 0-gauge through my car.

Anyone know how much cable I would need? I've got a VS sedan and I want enough cable to have the amp at the very end of my boot (I don't want to pull my old cable out to see how long it is), I don't want to buy too short.

Cheers for that.

I was going to buy by the meter but I got quoted $25 per meter and that would equate to $150 + the 1M ground and a Amp kit would be $175 for 6M power cable and 1M ground cable + 250A fuse and clamps.
