Power issue for civic - please help
 
I have a full clarion system: 3 amps and 2 12'' subs. One amp on each sub and an amp for mids.

I had this stereo installed in my 91 F-150 but took it out when I traded it for a 97 civic ex. I need to know if the civic will have enough power to power this system without blowing the alternator.

Hopefully this is all the info you need:
The amps add up (peak watts) to 1200, but the rms is under 1000. I do have a 1 farad capacitor.
The civic has a/c which i'm told gives it the biggest alternator possible.

So as long as I get this all hooked up right, is there anyway to tell me for sure if it has enough power? or does anyone know for a fact that it does/does not have enough power?

Thanks alot

If you can give out the amp models that would be good, and chances are if you just do the big three up grade you should be fine.

The amps are:
APX1300 X 2
APX4240

And what do you mean by the big three upgrade (sorry for being new)
