Exo here gives you a good idea as to what the "Big Three" is. Basically all it is is the Positive power wire frome the battery to the alternator. And then the Gorund wires from the engine block to the battery negative, and the battery negative to a good ground point on the cars chassis. The alternator is a whole other upgrade, not included in the typical "Big Three" phrase.

Basically the alternator all have a small screw on them and cant electrically handle much over 4 Ga wire- to the point of melting the bolts off...
As far as cone loading.
In high performance boxes anything besides a flat surface parallel to the back of the sub will create uneven cone loading.
Concept isnt bad here. Just move the subs up so they are not sitting on the port.

i don't really agree. i ran 5K in my car for 6 months with 3 extra batteries and the Big 3 in 1/0, grounds 2x1/0 nothing ever went wrong with the wiring or the alternator... and as for the 3 different subs i don't see a problem as long as there all in there own chamber and there all around the same powerhandling,
not trying to slam u ryan but i ran my mustang for a year with an 8" mtx 5000 and a 15" pb sub (both 250w 1 dual 4 and 1 single 4) on a RF 550s. nothing ever went wrong.

I see i see. Thanks! And with the mixture of subs, i assume you are talking about the acoustics and such? I have each sub chambered seperately, and have a seperate smaller amp pushing the 10". Each amp came with it's own bass remote so i have been using them to do minor "fine tuning" up front, but this is after i tuned my amplifiers. Basically i have two 12V swithces up front to turn either of the amps off if i please. 10" sealed for rock, 15"s ported for hip-hop, or both on for SPL. Just as an example... I understand it's a rather amateur setup, but hey, i really do like all of the feedback i can get, it's hard to improve without some sort of criticism...

Not sure yet. If i do, it's going to be the trunk first, i'm sure you can imagine why. But we'll see, all depends on money, time, and... money.

you are going to need a lot of dynomat for the trunk what is the RMS of each 15 inch sub.
