Does a system....

Does having a small system (one 10" sub and 450 watts amp) in your car affect your gas milage in any significant way? Im wondering because i'm not getting the same milage as other people with the same car and no system....

perhaps your amplifier needs a tune-up. Then you should get better gas mileage.

lol shouldnt at all

it should be like having a 6 year old in the trunk... if that

Not unless your box is massive.......

the average 10" sub only weighs about 15lbs. Most sealed boxes housing 1 10" sub weighs about 25lbs. A single amp let's say 15 lbs.

25+15+15=55lbs..........This is nowhere near enough weight in your trunk to cause a noticeable difference in mpg.

Check out your fuel injectors or spark plugs/wires.......

Is your car jerking back and forth? Does it have the shakes?

It does add weight but not that much...and also you alt is gonna work harder charging the battery so my guess is yeah it's going to use more...but how much more I don't know.

prolly the flux capacitor

No.

I would suggest you look into your driving style and engine maintenance.
