I have a 2000 Chevy s10 Pickup, and I have been looking around at shallow mount subs, amplifiers, new speakers and head units and I'm beginning to realize I'm in a little over my head with choosing the correct power output for each item. I'll put up the name of the items, RMS power, and peak power for each item and you tell me if it will all work together. Thanks! :D

Head Unit:
JVC KDR200
Maximum Watts
50W x 4
RMS Wattage
20W x 4

Door Speakers:
Pioneer TS-G1642R- 6-1/2" 2-Way
Peak Power
180W
RMS Power
30W

Dash Speakers:
Pioneer TS-G4642R 4"x6" 2-way
Peak Power
130W
RMS
2-20W

Amplifier:
BOSS CH550
Max power, 2ohm: 400W x 2
RMS power, 4ohm: 125W x 2

Sub:
Pioneer TS-SWX310
Shallow Series Preloaded 12"
Peak:
1000 watts
RMS:
250 watts

I know that's a lot of information but hopefully someone out there will know whats going on.
Thanks for any help!
Maximum Watt on the stock 2000 S10 alternator is 1200, but I don't know what the RMS for running the entire vehicle is. The total RMS for this entire system combined is only 350W, so am I right in guessing that I have enough power with the stock alternator?
