Does a C6 need the Big 3?

[calvie018]

As the topic title asks, does the c6 need the big3 done to it? I've read in some older posts that it's not really necessary with the c6. But if it is needed, are there any c6 specific instructions on how to do it?

I'm running a Zapco DC1000.4 setup to where it's running essentially 600W between fronts & subs. No sign of dimming lights, etc. Not sure where the line is though but for my setup it's OK without the big 3.

I have a 06 with the original battery. Have two amps 450/4 and a 300/2. Its been over a year and I have no charging issues,and I often play it very loud!

TheKomoman and NYC6, do either of you notice any dimming of the lights while under full load?

This is true, but I don't really want to mess with more than I have to if it's not necessary. I don't want to introduce another source of problems, if they do arise, ya know?

Xtant 604x, and trying to locate a 302a. So if all goes well I'll be running both Xtants.

604x



302a

[pentavolvo]

do u kno what kinda of power they pull or what they are rated for rms

[calvie018]

604x:

Watts per Channel @ 4Ω: 4 x 75
Watts per Channel @ 2Ω: 4 x 150
Bridged Mono @ 4Ω: 2 x 300

302a:

Watts per Channel @ 4Ω: 2 x 75
Watts per Channel @ 2Ω: 2 x 150
Bridged Mono @ 4Ω: 1 x 300

with that kinda power IMO you will be fine without big3, maybe have slight voltage fluctuations but no dimming really, id still do it though

At idle when its very dark and the music is cranked up I notice a miniscule amount of pulsing. When I bring the RPM's just a little its fine. And no I didnt do the big three. And I have 750 watts.
