[QUOTE="GFunkyGamerGeek, post: 8838566, member: 688713"] Partially. Like I said earlier, I did install this setup in my 2013 audi rs5. It ate my battery in about an hour. Once i disconnected the amp, the car worked fine. Ended up selling the rs5 and bought an rs4 because manual 6 speed FTW. The rs5 had a 192 amp alternator, the rs4 has a 190. I took the rs4 and the components to an installer, explained what had happened in the rs5, and they said the reason that happened is because this car, unlike many, uses all, or at least most, of its amps when being driven... aggresively. If i want to add a 2000 watt system, i would need to upgrade my alternator to something significantly beefier. He suggested a 275 or higher which i priced at about $700 with no guarantee of a fitment without sending in my currently installed one. This is not something i want to do because i dont want to make any changes to the core functionality of the car, nor do i want to go any real amount of time without listening to that gorgeous BNS engine. To be very clear, i am NOT putting this system in my rs4. Like i said previously, i want to drag it around between my deck and my shop via luggage cart.
