Default How big a load can the stock alternator take on ES330?

I was wondering how big the alternator in an '04 ES330 is? I was also wondering if a 2 X 100W RMS (Max 200W x 2) amplifier for a 70 Watt component set
and a 150W RMS powered subwoofer would be too much? Thanks for your responses.

I think you'll be ok. Im not sure of the exact amperage output, im sure its in the 90amp range. Im running a 600watt rms sub amp, and a 200watt rms amp for my components, in my 98 GS400, with no problems. Throw in a small capacitor if you want, that always helps. My system has a 3farad cap, but i have a lot more power.
