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

[QUOTE="robertoyoung08, post: 7276965, member: 613565"] about 90% of your stock atl is probably being used. so you dont have too much slack to work with. in some cars the amount of power you are running, plus the big three and a decent battery will do it, but in my lexus (also made by toyota) my stock alt hasnt really been able to keep up with the power im running and im runing similar as you. im runing a sub amp at 1200 watts and a 4 channel at 50*4. and i get high diming and up until i did the big three, my amps would often go into protect from low voltage at high volumes. so i had to order a new alt. soo possibly, be prepared for a new alternator upgrade, just saying that since we have the same car manufacturers. hopefuly not though man.
