Is this alternator good for me?

[jFreezy 0]

Hey I'm looking at upgrading my stock alternator to a 160 amp alternator. I want to run 1500 watts rms. I have a kinetik 2000 under my hood and 1/0 big 3. Is this electrical safe to run 1500 watts? I don't want to spend too much money and Im wondering if the 160 amp alternator is enough to power 1500 watts rms. Thanks guys. Project coming soon

It's from a local shop. 600 rpm=80 amps and 1200rpm=160 and voltage set point is 14.5v

Yes. But do you think it's capable to handle 1500 watts rms?
