Can I run this amp off factory electrical?

[wcjoey]

A few months ago I purchased a BNIB RF Power T8002 because it was just too cheap to pass up. I originally wanted to sell it for profit but now I'm considering using it. However I really don't want to do any upgrades to my electrical system. I have a 2010 Dodge Charger with a factory 160 amp alternator. I ran a Punch 800a2 for nearly 2 years with zero issues. However the T8002 requires a 150 amp fuse where the 800a2 only an 80. Would it be wise to attempt running the T8002 or will I be in for a dead battery one day?

I would also upgrade stock battery to an agm

I'd rather not do the big 3 because the battery is in the trunk and I don't want to attempt it myself or pay someone to do it. And what's an agm?

I was considering selling/trading it for a smaller class D. I'll be running a Fi SSD 18 (I think lol) so 1000 rms would be fine and shouldn't draw more than 80-90 amps. Like I said I ran a Punch 800a2 with no problems.

agm is a type of battery. I do belive they use something like 2ga or 0ga on the factory run for those cars. Should be alright just upgrading the ground and putting in a better battery.
