so yer amp is 900 watts x 5 channels
at 14 volts that would only draw 65 amps and if that 900 is the peak wattage rating then itd only draw that much current if you had the stereo full blast

whats the RMS wattage

Dealership had two tahoe within 2k miles of each other very similar options. Hybrid had navigation back up cam noon hybrid did not and they were the same price so figured I'd save some on gas. And honestly I get about 22mpg. Higher of in in city lower on Highway. I can get to work which is very close almost exclusively on electric because speed limits are 30. I actually have to go just under the limit to stay in full electric but.... Anyway that's basically it. I've always been a tahoe suburban guy so didn't really care about hybrid but for the same price why not. If I had known what I know now I probably would have stayed with non may because of audio. If I have to add alternator and all that jazz then I'm out a ton of money and the gas savings probably doesn't matter.

It's 900 rms. The jl hd900/5.

I need to figure out how to fix the gap between climate control and dash kit. Don't think I can. There is a lip on the climate control that fit over factory I could probably grind out the groove on dash kit. But I really like this HU.

I definately don't know how to use this forum on mobile but any idea if this will be fine seems fine possibly more engine time but that's no biggie didn't get a tahoe to hyper mile

I'm just hoping the current electrical can handle my 900/5 amp. Until I can figure out the rest. I've asked in the hybrid section but no responses yet. I'm thinking I should be okay. Only concern is damaging the hybrid system. If I kill the battery I'll live and learn for the cost of the battery of I break the hybrid system I'll cry. And the wife will be none to pleased.

Definitely be fine. This is my old setup in a hybrid
