Small Digital Amp with mini battery???
I'm only finding mixed answers on this so I'm gonna ask it again but in a little different manner.
I want to add a single small amplifier for a single subwoofer and run the other speakers off of aftermarket deck power. I am looking at a small digital Alpine amp. I was always told a digital amp is less draw on an electrical system, so I thought this might be ok. Has anyone had luck doing a similar setup. I'm not interested in a moster system...
I'm looking at an Alpine PDX-2.150.

check out 41hz.com they sell diy kits for amp according to your needs and they are much powerful then big names out their... that apline sure looks nice but $450 is a heavy price for it.

I have a pretty small system in my car and I am running it just fine with a small battery. I dont see you running a small amp with a single sub is going to be an issue.

The Alpine PDX is pricey because its a pretty efficient amplifier. It doesn't get too hot and its light weight compared to other amplifiers.
at 150 watts, I wouldn't worry about power consumption. thats like 11 amps MAX when the car is running. Plus class D amps are already efficient because they use switching transistors that only take as much power as they need at the given point in time.
