[QUOTE="maylar, post: 7756420, member: 541144"] Watts is watts. The power into your amp is the power out divided by the amp's efficiency. So it's really a question of whether the efficiency of the amp is different at lower impedance, and that isn't always in the specs. So the answer to your question is, "maybe". Switching to Class D definitely improves effieciency. You might see no additional electrical draw at all. On the other hand, a 50 amp alt is REALLY small. [/QUOTE]
