Oh, no capacitor for me. At all. It will be big 3, aftermarket batter, and then bigger alternator if need be. I hope not though lol

+1... Been into car electronics and stereo's since the early 90's, but I've never heard of a "big three" upgrade.

Re: Big 3 help?
Ok... But there's another wire connected to my positive battery post... It doesn't go to the alternator, and when it is disconnected, all the electronics still work... But my truck won't start. Can you tell me where that goes?

Starter. Don't worry about it. Keep it connected, obviously.
