Welcome to the forum! I have been on this forum for over 2 1/2 years and I've never heard of a "Big 3 Kit". Can you enlighten me please?Hey guys, new member. I have a 2014 Diesel Cruze. I searched for quite some time in regards to a "Big 3 Kit" for the diesel. I can find lots of information for the gas jobs but nothing for the diesels? Can anyone shed some light on this topic?
Thanks
Thanks! I actually just bought the car, I was putting too many kms on my truck commuting to work.Welcome to the forum! I have been on this forum for over 2 1/2 years and I've never heard of a "Big 3 Kit". Can you enlighten me please?
Is that all through the stock deck?Do you know if this would help reduce alternator noise? My system sounds fine until I release the hand brake and the headlights come on, then there is a buzzing noise.
I have a 1600 watt multi-channel amp running two 6x9s on channels 1&2 and two 12" dual subs which are bridged for a single 4 ohm impedance on channels 3&4.

Yeah, that is exactly what I did. I was really hoping it wasn't that. In hind sight, I probably should have used a shielded power cable instead of 0 gauge arc welding cable.Is that all through the stock deck?
Alternator noise is generally because RCA cables or speaker wire was run next to power wires and is picking up noise that way.
Yep! Generally you want to run RCA cables at least 18" away from power cables. Run them on the opposite side from the power. Check your grounds too. You need clean grounds for your amps.Is that all through the stock deck?

I have double checked the grounds to the chassis but I fear there may be some resistance between the amp in the trunk and the battery under the hood. It was much easier in my cobalt when the battery was in the trunk.Yep! Generally you want to run RCA cables at least 18" away from power cables. Run them on the opposite side from the power.

I do know there was an upgraded negative battery cable for the diesel released under a TSB. Otherwise, I think the diesel's power output should be able to handle a stereo. It might only be a bit of a strain on a cold start with aux heater, glow plugs, headlights, heated seats and fan active.
it should have been done to a 2015How do we get this upgraded negative battery cable?? Do we have to ask dealer at service or complain??
