do i need an electrical upgrade?

hey guys, kinda new to everything and was wondering if i will need to upgrade my electrical componets in my 96 toyota avalon. i plan on running a dd1510 on a arc audio 1500 xxk at 4 ohms so roughly 800-900watts. i believe my stock alternator is 80 amps. will i need to upgrade anything? batt, alternator, big 3. i read on here that even if i did the big 3 i might get more dimming if everything else is up to par. any input would be appreciated

IMO, you might just be fine with doing the big 3. If not, you should only have to either add a nice back batt or replace your front batt with something a little stronger.

one good batt in the rear and big3 should do ok sooner or later the alt is gonna need an upgrade as well as the front battery...

I think a Kinetik HC1200 or HC1400 would probably fulfill your needs.
