Help, new to car audio and have a concern.

After I bought a aftermarket headunit, I desided to buy a super cheap amp(just to learn how to do the basics). The amp I bought was a sony 600W xm-zr604. Here are the specs:

vMOSFET Power Supply

Maximum Output Power: 4 Ch x 110W at 4ohm

Maximum Output Power: 2 Ch x 150W at 2ohm + 1 Ch x 300W at 4ohm

Rated Output Power: 4 Ch x 60W at 4 ohm(1.0% THD)

Rated Output Power: 4 Ch x 130W at 4 ohm (0.1% THD)

Rated Output Power: 3 Ch x 130W at 4 ohm (0.1% THD)

Rated Output Power: 4 Ch x 65W at 2 ohm (0.1% THD)

Low Pass Filter (Rear): 80Hz, -18dB/oct

Frequency Response: 5Hz-50kHz

Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 97dB

Dimensions ( W x H x D in mm): 396 x 55 x 256

I plan on using all four channels to power my back 6x9s and 6.5s in the doors. I am also driving a 2003 Mazda Protege which has a 80 amp alternator in it. I hooked everything up and it works fine, im just concerned that the alternator might not be able to power it. Will this setup be ok? I dont want to have to replace my alternator down the road.

Thanks for any help!

your alternator should be just fine with what you have, in fact, could probably support a lot more than what you have.
