I know the big 3 is for the charging system so your system can get a boost and the power it needs so has anyone ever did the big 3 on a motorcycle or any other vehicle?

I have done a lot of systems on Harley Electra Glides in particular. In the event that better charging parts are obtainable I can’t see a problem with upgrading them. However I have found that a better approach is to maximize the efficiency of a system that draws less than 20 amps (there are many good ways to do this). Considering that you are not likely going to add subs to a bike, 20 amps can give you an enormous amount of output when used intelligently. When designing a system for a bike be very selective about the parts that you choose. Keep in mind that car audio components are not necessarily designed to maximize efficiency.      
Have you already obtained your head unit and amp?
What are they?
