You're not going to have your alternator melt down instantly if there's a problem. If you're not going to be blasting something with a ton of bass there shouldn't be anything to worry about. It's entirely possible that even if you are blasting it there won't be any concerns.

i just want to point out that the gains is not how many watts your putting into it ( your saying if i turn my gains to 1/3 then ill have 500 watts wich is not ture)
