Only if you run your system for an extended period of time with your car off. The majority of power is drawn from your alternator when your vehicle is running, hence why you should be pulling close to 14 volts when your car is running and only 12 volts when your car is off.....which is also why you want to try and always have your car running when you're bumping your system. The amps your running are smaller, and should have no impact on your vehicle's stock electrical system. If it did, however, a better battery (such as an optima red top) and high output alternator should be considered, along with upgrading the wiring between the alternator and battery.

sorry to bring up a dead topic but I need to find out if i can daisy chain just three amps? I really dont want to get a relay due to the fact that no stores are open on sunday and i dont want to wait until later otherwise i have to wait till next weekend to get this thing goin.
Even if you guys think i cant manage it, is it possible for me to try anyways with no dire complications or risk of permanent damage to the amps or headunit?

now to see whether i want to just install a spade terminal crimp to the end of the 2gauge or try my darndest to install the new battery terminal to the post.... =X
you can get a relay at any auto parts store- or radio shack! best buy - circuit city
you can burn out the remote turn on lead out of the deck if you pull to much power and i have seen amps not fully turn on with low remote power - or amps turn off first time bass hits from the voltage drop and remote voltage drop - Rule of thump 3 or more relay it!!!!
