Yeah, I really doubt the stereo volume is cut down to save power. Remember 1 HP is 750 Watts. Stock stereos tend to have only a little over 100 Watts amplification. We're not talking about measurable power, even for an extremely powerful stereo.

Now, I certainly could see a late model vehicle trying to manage the stereo for driver concentration. There is a lot of that kind of stuff.

The A/C should cut out at WOT on any vehicle. It sounds like the WOT relay is grounded or bypassed. This isn't just for the power, but to save a bit of heat on the cooling system.
