I Would like to know the amperage of the 2007 civic LX alternator so i can determine If I can put two amps in my car without upgrading.

Can I use an 8 gauge wire to power 2 amps? 1 is the following...
Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. - MRP-F600
And another is weaker but for the sub..
Dual XIA2460 Car Audio Amplifier xia-2460

I am going to install an amp to run the the rear and front speakers, I was curious If I could just solder the speaker wire from my amp directly to a harness that fits in the dash. Will this be ok putting the extra RMS watts through the existing speaker wires? Look at Pic hahaha..

Thanks in advance
