I am in the market for a Leaf and looking to buy shortly (cash in hand and waiting for the right deal). The struggle is that I am unsure what I can do for a subwoofer and I am fairly confident that replacing the stock speakers wont give me quite what I am looking for and I would still want to get a sub.
My question is, does an amp and sub put too much drain on the battery? I am sure there is some excess power being drawn but is the amount negligible or is it something that I need to be weary of? Are there amps that are better with power management so that I wont cause problems with the existing electrical systems? I have done my own audio in my standard car, is there anything different in an EV?
Also, I have seen a few mentions about the Bose audio system being "Lacking". I haven't had a chance to hear it for myself but will hopefully be checking one out this weekend. If I don't happen to get there in time to check it out. If I don't hear it for myself, would it be safe to assume this isnt something I would be satisfied with? I am fairly easy to please. I dont need loud, I just dont like distortion.
