You'll never notice the difference. It's probably only drawing max power during a big bass boom. That's only a momentary transient. But...if you have one of those stereos that can be heard booming six blocks away, TURN IT DOWN! Why?

1. You are probably driving it into distortion, annoying the hell out of everyone.
2. It is vibrating parts of your car. You may not be able to hear that inside, but I can outside.
3. You are damaging your hearing, probably most pronounced in the female voice range. You were wondering why your wife/girlfriend keeps saying that you don't hear them?

Now, if you want some significant power draw, perhaps a tube-type, circa 1955 AM ham transmitter, about 100 watts or so, plus a tube type ham receiver, and a dynamotor to provide the high voltage might well add up to a couple horsepower...
