Can my stock alternator handle this?

At first i had my door speakers hooked up with the stock wiring to my pioneer deck.. everything seemed fine.. the deck outputs 15rms to each speaker i guess, and the speakers handle 30 when that much is supplied..

my subwoofer is a Kicker CVT12 running on a Kicker 400.1 Amp (400W cont)

So i decided to run my door speakrs on a new amp MTX 4004 and now the subwoofer seems like its hitting alot less harder... not as deep etc..

Door Speakers are getting more their full potential of 30RMS x 4.. and the Subs doing 400W..

Am i loosing some power or something which could make the sub hit less deep with the new mtx amp?..

Oh and if this makes any difference, both the amps are grounded of the same screw thats put into the body of the truck.. and the remote start wire is spliced to go to both amps.

The MTX amp (door speakers) is running on 8Gauge Wire and the Kicker (Sub) is running on 4gauge wire

My Truck: 2008 Mitsubishi Raider (Same as the 2005+ Dodge Dakota)

Thanks, does the grounding in the same location for both amps have anything to do with it?

nevermd guys.

i was messing with my headunit and found out that the low's were too low.. when i installed my doorspeakers amp my subwoofer wasnt hooked up etc, but when i turned down my lows all the way i didnt realize that controled part of the sub also.. i wanted no bass to go into my doors so i had it at like -4, but now its at 0
