Exclamation Do I need a more powerful alternator? Running 1 amp on stock 2008 Corolla alternator.

I'm planning on installing an amp & sub into my 2008 Corolla this weekend. Right now, the Corolla is using the stock 80A alternator.

The amplifier is mono and is rated to work at 300 watts X 1 at 2 ohms, 14.4V and at 150w x 1 @ 4 ohms, 14.4Vdc. The inline fuse for the amp is 50A. Here's the link to the specs page - http://www.kicker.com/06/kicker_home.html (since it's a flash site and i can't link directly to it, when the site loads, click on car audio, then Amplifiers, then ZX series, then Specs, then Mono, and finally ZX300.1.)

The sub I plan to wire to it is an 8" Bazooka tube running at 4 ohms - http://www.sasbazooka.com/products/m...Subwoofer-P150

Do you guys think I'll be fine? Or should I get a bigger alternator?
