Alternator Limits

[firearm 10+ year member]

I would like to purchase a 4 channel amp rated at 100-125 watts RMS for each channel.

My alternator is rated at 110 amps. Is this feasible, or do I need to look at a lower powered amp?

Electrical system upgrades are not an option. Any amp suggestions welcome (if my electrical system can support it as is).

Please forgive my ignorance, I am trying to avoid an uninformed purchase.

Budget is $300.00 to $400.00

Thanks

that amp should run fine on the alt you got. What other aftermarket accesories do you have hooked up though cause that could affect it though. Like fog lights and other stuff.

No other aftermarket gear however I do tow a boat occasionally. Is this cause for concern?

I don't want to risk any type of problem.
