Hello,
I am planning on putting a 12” American Bass subwoofer in my 2021 Jetta. I’m waiting for the rest of the components to come in but I will be running a Skar Audio RP1200.1D, paired with a LC2i to get signal from the stock headunit. Also with Skar Audios 4 gauge amp wiring kit.
As of right now I have a Pioneer GM-D1004 running power to 4 Rockford Fosgate speakers.
I have spoken to a couple close buddies of mine and they told me something to look into is power draw from the amplifier - especially when the vehicle is off. I am told it’s a possibility that the amplifier even when the vehicle is off can drain the battery.
Can any experts chime in on this? Is this something I should be concerned about? If yes, what are some steps I can take to solve this?
Thanks!
