BIG 3-4 UPGRADE 2008 SCION XB

[@throwaway5926]

I love seeing a clean job. Ensures functionality, makes for easier troubleshooting, and it just looks done correctly and professionally. Good stuff, bro.

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

Thank you I appreciate it

[@airon6864]

Damn the shops here in Dallas can’t even do this. Half of them don’t even know what this is. Just got all the wiring ordered and my new box but want to make sure my big 3-4 looks like yours dang

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

Thank you bro i appreciate it...and I know what you mean and are going threw ...i went to a couple stereo shops for some questions and they just asked me if I wanted a job 😂

[@jamesjones732]

Instead of ground to alternator mounting bolts, I'd run that to the back of the alternator housing. That will keep the alternator cooler and take better advantage of the negative alternating current.

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

That bolt connects the back of the alternator housing to the engine and wire lug is mounted there thats why the engine is grounded to the frame and battery to frame ...??so isnt the return ground to the battery just a quicker path then all that ??

[@RippinRaz]

Clean ass setup man. Love the videos.

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

Thank you I appreciate it bro

[@symmonn]

Where did you get your voltage regulator bypass module? Does it trigger the battery light on dash to stay on? Also it looks like you maintained factory cables at the alternator that go to the fuse box. I have a 240amp alternator on its way and was kind of worried about the factory cables.

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

So I got the bypass from mike singer from singer alternators and I have no dash lights at all and I got the. .8 voltage one so if your. Charging at 14.4 you would go to 15.2 which when I'm driving I will stay at 14.9 to 15.2 at full tilt and of course at idle I loose some ....and I didnt touch any factory wires your just upgrading the wires I wouldn't suggest taking out factory wires .... I worried too but I watched a lot of videos and read a bunch of stuff on forums...good luck bro on your build

[@symmonn]

@@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD Thanks so much for the info!

[@HereticHulk]

Where does the frame to engine ground bolt on to the engine? Were all the non-batter side connectors 5/16" rings?

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

Ground from alt to battery ,battery to frame and find your cars engine to frame ground and slap some wire there...those are the grounds in the big 4

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

I dont understand the second question bro

[@MyVeryOwnSlice]

Ok, but please tell me what difference this has made?

Digging the scion and that metal skeletal sculpture dude in the background there 💪🏽

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

Thanks bro its been along work in progress...and I got few of the scupltures ive done Im working on another one I ha e a bunch of different theme ideas for them but I want to dona art showing and try to sell them

[@2001tclmike]

I appreciate this video man

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

Thank you I appreciate you watching bro

[@t.b.1793]

Nice setup!!! Did you have to re-wire the factory power wire from the fuse box?

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

Thank you and no I didnt even mess with that...

[@t.b.1793]

Thanks for replying. I just upgraded my battery with a Full throttle group 34, but I had to put my battery in backwards so my factory power cable would reach. Then had to extend my grounds.

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

Ive always wondered about those batterys wish I could afford some xs power batterys just out of my budget....one day....how do you like the battery..?

[@t.b.1793]

I’m loving the Full Throttle battery. I should be receiving my Js Alt next week...so I’m on factory alt and it’s struggling bad. Running a Skar EVL 15 D2 on a CT 1500.1. Building another box 3.8 cf @ 31hz.. how big is your box? Keep the vids coming!!!

[@airon6864]

Hey so I have a 2012 Camry with the vvti and just ordered ofc DC audio working to do the same big 4 and I got the same battery but a 1400 and planned on putting it on my trunk. For the 2ed battery do I still connect the 2ed battery and the main to the alt and chassis and all that or how do I do it? Can you tell me step by step on how to do it on this thread. Thanks really appreciate it. I have the rarest brain tumor in the world so me reading it step-by-step would be a lot easier I have 10 feet of ground 10ft power to do this. Please help

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

Friend request me on face book and I will send you a picture diagram later on messenger so it will be easier bro...sorry to hear about your brain situation keep your head up my friend I will draw out exactly what I did in a diagram and shoot it to you later tonight Im still at work.....facebook Dennis Soberscum Lewis...hit me up I got you

[@nathanielthomas2502]

Any in line fuses from the 2nd battery to the amp? & im curious why no fuses in between the alternator & the up front battery...im wondering if it is necessary for my upcoming system

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

whats up bro so the factory wiring doesnt have a fuse between alt and front battery either..and yes i have fuses between amps and back battery i see alot of system on you tube without them but id rather have fuses safer and protects a problem from taveling and causing more problems and money ...i have fuses from front battery under the hood and another set of fuse in the back of the car before second battery also and amps are fused as well bro... some say its necessary some dont...

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

@@nathanielthomas2502 nice ...😁man those sfb amps are sick I've been watching Derek do the dynos on them the amps are small for the numbers they were putting out crazy for how small they are

[@jamesjones732]

The extra fuse or fuse box can create noise in the line and is also overkill, unnecessary.

[@erlhendrichcaoile1463]

Did you add fuse for the positive terminal to the alternator?

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

No fuse

[@erlhendrichcaoile1463]

@@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD is it safe not to install fuse?

Whats size kinetik bagtery is that? I wanna order one for my 06 xb

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

It the kinetik hc2400..it's a big ass battery I had to unwrap my wire harnesses and take them apart to get that big bulky plastic protection off of all the wires and rearrange a bunch of stuff to fit it up n there tightly...

[@iamrasta69]

Dope!! Where did you put the voltmeter inside?

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

Thank you I put my 2 volt meters above my glove box in the cubby hole storage area you can see them in some of my videos

[@nathanielthomas2502]

@@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD Is the voltmeter in the rear fused also? If so is it on the same fuse as in under the hood? & finally what size or fuse did you tap into? Thx

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

@@nathanielthomas2502 so I didnt fuse my voltmeters in the front or back what I fused was the relay panel I built its mounted behind my glove box and what my relay panel powers is my remotes for my amps my fans and my voltmeters...and the relay is all off my remote wire behind my head unit...so the relay turned my remote wire into I think 35 amps or 40ampsni dont remember what size relay I got...and by using your remote wire it only turns on when the car is turned on...

Why double runs?

[@SOBERSCUMBASSHEAD]

I was thinking years in advance right now I am building a wall and my front battery is going to be eliminated I will be using a empth battery box and those runs are going to my yinlong bank in the back ...abd once this wall is complete and sounds good I will be slowly picking up bigger subs another 8k amp and adding adding another yinlong bank or super. Caps to the empty battery box under the hood...double runs is better for what I wanted to do in the future so I dont have go backwards and add runs and I will be getting a more powerful alt...hopefully that made sense...i was thinking future

Another uneducated big 3/4 video. Same faulty recipe as you see in every other big 3 video on here. Zip ties, under hood. All that power and he grounds his amps to a STEEL BODY GROUND LOL. Chinese aluminum jelly insulated wire. Double runs not required for that tiny alternator mess. Aluminum battery terminal plates LOL. No copper available anymore?

I love happy people like you that take the time to write your miserable feelings and self in comment sections on youtube makes me smile please feel free to troll all my videos and leave your uplifting helpful opinions in them....thanks for taking the time to talk trash instead of help , teach and most of all for reminding how grateful I am for how happy I am...have a grateful day...
