Ik the conversion of 10w = 1A. and I'm running an apsm 1300 (1kw) and a cadence 250.2 (250w)

so with just that i should be running 125A plus stock electrical which i was told to roughly say 40a. so I'm running 165A... i have an 80a alt... I'm putting in the big 3 with some 2/0 welding cable. my friend said my amps r both highly efficient, but i still feel like i will fry my alt right now. without the big 3 right now I'm not running the sub even close to 1000w. but my lights dim something crazy. so r my amps really highly efficient to the point that when i put in the big3 i won't fry my alt? its an 09 honda civic.
