Grounding kit vs big 3

Adding an amp to my car and was wondering about the difference between the grounding kit and the big 3 up grade. Which should I choose to do?

With the big three you will run another cable from the alternator to the battery. Usually bigger than the OEM wire. What amp are you running & what are the specs on it.

+1 - One of the best sellers that I've dealt with thus far.

Here's a slide show of Sinjiduo's kit installed below.

You should be fine without doing the big three, that's not a huge draw on your electrical. If you plan on adding other stuff later, then It may be beneficial.

Awesome. Set it and forget it. Transmission shifts better than it used to.
