Power amps only draw the high power during short spikes, of Peak current. You need those 50 amp spikes for the subwoofers and a big B+ line so you dont get a voltage drop across it. Steady state or average currents are much lower... probably around 6 or 7 amps. It does look Like Per has me beat for power consumption and could use an alternator! Those Eberspacher's do use alot of current when the glow plug is on but that is usually only for a couple minutes. Heated seats? Mmmmm....
