Power usage help

[nathansadkins]

I recently purchased a 2003 Honda Accord and have been trying to install a nice aftermarket audio system but have a fear of straining my cars electrical system and alternator (outputs 110 amperes). I installed a Pioneer MVH-X380BT head unit to replace the factory one and just purchased Alpine SPS-610C 6.5" (80RMS each) and Alpine SPS-619 6x9" (85 watts each). For the moment, I am not planning to install an Amplifier for these speakers because I want to focus on the subwoofers that I want which is 2 SoundQubed HDS212-D2 (600W RMS). The amp I have been looking at is the AudioPipe APCL15001D (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BW54418/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_qvdeyb2BZ636P)

Will I be able to put out enough juice for my power needs? Thanks for any feedback.

big 3 upgrade and 2nd agm battery in the rear should be more than fine.

Others might not agree with me but if you feel like doing the big 3 is too much of a pain in the ***, just pick up a solid AGM and you'll be fine. I have an SQ 2200 in my car. On stock battery there was noticeable headlight dim along with substantial voltage drop. I grabbed an odyssey extreme 1300 CA AGM and now nothing can make it drop to below 13V. Big 3 hasn't been done yet.
