Big Three needed?
I have a C6 and just about ready to install my audio gear. The only amp in my system is an Audison SRX3 which puts out 65wx2 and 300x1 and uses a 30a fuse. I'm wondering if I'll need to do the big three?

I'm running a 4x150 Alpine and don't have any problems. But I'm not running a sub yet so the power draw isn't huge.

i had a pg 475zx that was 75x2 @ 4 ohms and 300x1 at 2 ohms and then a xtant 603x that was running the same power and didn't have any problems... just make sure you use 4 gauge or you'll be dimming your lights

A big 3 isn't nessicary, but couldn't hurt. In addition to helping power high drain audio systems, the Big 3 also helps recharge the battery faster and puts less strain on the alternator. Plus if you decide to upgrade later, you'll have more power to do so with.
