Default How well would an aftermarket stero system work in one of the honda hybrid electric cars ?

Honda currently has two hybrid gas/electric cars to their name (Civic and Insight) and I was wondering how a 200-500 watt system would sit in these mobiles. Anyone have any experience installing, or running a medium powered stero system in an electric/gas car ?

the hybrids have two totally different batteries, one under the hood to power the accesories and the rear battery which is the motor assist. the install should be the same as any other car, it will decrease gas mileage and acceleration slightly due to added weight and added draw from the acceleration, but that effects the gas motor not the IMA battery.
