130 amps, enough?

[smokeoff 10+ year member]

I plan on running 4 subs, 2 off of 1 profile california mono amp and 2 off of another, I also have an aftermarket HU and A few Neons+ an underbody kit. I expect to be running around 800 watts and I don't want to ruin my car.

800 rms is not a significant ammount of power for an electrical systme to keep up to i have 970 rms and a completly stock electrical system and it goes fine

I agree with this. I have around 1000W coming out of my stock alt in my 93 explorer and the lights never dim. Then again I have a 1 farad cap that might be doing the trick.

i have no cap but the lights dim a little when i get tones cranking but the voltage goes down to like 9 volts then

I like to be on the safe side but the way it sounds 130 amps will be more then enough.
