Default PDX-5 dimming?

Hey all, I'm putting a PDX-5 to run 2 component (Morel DoTech Ovation 6 and a JL sub in my '05 C6.

I couldn't find the specs on how much the PDX-5 draws. Will it cause much light dim?

After the Big 3 will that problem be alleivated? I detest having my headlights fade...

Haven't seen a report yet of a C6 having a dimming issue. I know it was a common problem with C5 but they have either upped the ante on the alternator output or upgraded the wiring or perhaps both. I run a Zapco DC1000.4 configured to output about 800W max and have never seen a hint of it.

Stock aside from the 4g wire I ran back from the battery to power the amp.
