last year I was running my 12 alpine type R and hifonics amp taking up 600 RMS. I recently installed dimaond audio comp speakers with a kicker amp using up 350 RMS. Now I havnt used these 2 together because I need a new amp for my sub, (long story). I have played the comp speakers alone and works fine, same as the sub did.

Now my main concern is will my 94 toyota corolla support the power needed for both these setups using a combined 950 watts RMS?

thx for any help.

how many amps is your alt?
run it and see, if you get severe light dimming then you know you need a new alt.

Try it. It'll work but remember you don't have to turn the volume dial to max, the same goes for the gains on the amp. Use what your electrical system will allow you.

The 1.6 liter has a 70 amp and the 1.8 liter has an 80.

Im also wondering, would i be able to take a 1.8 litre altenator out of the same year corolla (80 amp) and put it into my 1.6 litre without any problems?

Cuz i think im cutting it awefully close with the 70 amp altenator.

an extra 10amps wont be worth the money or the time imo id save up for a HO alt until then run your gains responsibly
