Power Issues

[thegage 10+ year member]

I have a 96 Toyota Camry with a h/o alt(180 amps) and a optima battery under the hood and big 3 upgraded. I am running a Rockford p550.2 amp to a 15" MA audio HKX2 and my headlights were not dimming at all for about a month or so but now they are slightly dimming. The small amp I am using now is just a substitute and ill be getting a Rockford Power T40001bd. My question is, can my Camry even take that much power if my power setup is already showing signs of weakness. What will I need to run that kind of amp? I know ill need some extra battery's in the trunk and what not but how many and what else will I need. I checked into getting ether a higher output alternator, which they don't make, or trying to rig 2, which is highly unlikely.
