Can my alternator handle the system I'm about to put in?

[QUOTE="tgraham09, post: 7273512, member: 631812"] I have a 2001 Toyota Corolla. I'm almost positive the alternator is 80 amps. Currently installed I have an Alpine idax303 HU with a 45x4 in line "power block" alpine amp hooked up to 4 alpine type r speakers (2) 5 1/4in and (2) 6.5in. I recently bought 2 12" Kicker L5s in the factory box wired down to 2 ohms final impedance. Once I get my amp (Rockford Fosgate T1000-1bdCP) and a wiring kit in a few weeks I will be putting the subs and amp in. The L5s are 600 wattsRMS each for a total of 1200watts RMS. The amp is rated at 1000rms at 2 ohms but since its a rockford it will put out probably 1100-1200. This is my first system and Ive been working hard to find good deals on all my equipment. Im not educated though in how all of this electrical works so I have no idea whether this alternator is going to be able to handle all of this or not. Please let me know whats going to happen when I put all of this in. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
