Keep in mind Im running a "G" rated amplifier for the subs that is very efficient on power consumption. In addition, I have on board 4 group 27 Marine/RV batteries. When parked, we switch one off to restart the motor if all goes dead. We have ran the stereo at moderate levels all day (6+ hours) and never ran em dry.
