[QUOTE="Dj-torn, post: 7626833, member: 553398"] Voltage = Current x Resistance You are correct, at a lower volume of continuous play your battery will last longer than at higher volume of continuous play. Here's the thing, Your ABC amplifier is designed to operate at a manufactures designated voltage of XX.X. With every passing second of continuous play volume MAX or Otherwise that voltage decreases, eventually the voltage drops below the Manufactures Designated Operating Voltage. So Far so good? Moving on, now we are moving into current, Amplifier ABC was manufactured to operate within a current range that would allow the amp to maintain proper operating temperature without melting any of its components. Each note of the song requires the the amplifier to pull a certain amount of designated current through the its circuit board's capacitors, transistors, etc, etc. just to produce that single note, With that decrease in voltage comes an increase in current to compensate, while still producing the same note. As the current increases as a result of lower voltage, the added current (increased electron flow) through the components of the amplifier creates more heat, as the amplifier heats up so do the components within it. Any of this starting to shed the light. Lastly resistance, as the temperature or the components rise due to low voltage, the heat becomes a factor in the calculation of resistance, now you have low voltage and greater resistance, requiring even more current for the amplifier to operate. And all this happened in ONE electrical system on the first note of the first track you started to listen to when you turned off your vehicle. How many more electrical systems are the in your car; Charging System, ECM, BCM, ETC, ETC...? all to save $4.00 in gas. [/QUOTE]
