I have a 2003 Civic and was wondering if the stock alternator could power my alpine mrp-m350 amp? It's 350RMS and 700 Max?

Thanks Ps. I think its only 60 Amps but im not posotive.

Your alternator will be fine. if your lights flicker or dim, get a cap.. 350 watts is nothing to worry about. At 350 watts, your only going to be pulling 24/25 amps or so off of your alternator and it can handle it.
