You'll probably be fine. I was drawing probably upwards of 150A on peaks from a stock 55A alternator, single stock battery, and no big 3 with no problems. I just had to watch it on tones, then give my battery lots of time to charge up. It will depend on the draw of other stuff, such as air conditioning. A voltage meter is a good idea.

voltage meter just tells you how many volts are running to your amp.

That amp will most likely be fine, don't worry about it.


Yes your lights will probably dim. That happens even with beefed up electrical systems a lot of times.

"wat happens if it gets to hi or to low?"

Dont worry about it getting to high, just watch for when it starts dropping to 12ish volts. If it gets too low, you will kill your battery and possibly fry your amp. 12.5 volts and up is stable, anything below you are loosing ground. You will mainly have to watch it at idle if you have it cranked with alot of things running like light, wipers, etc.
