Default powering two amps, another battery needed?

okay this may have been answered but i couldnt much anything searching

basically i have a mono amp now a Alpine MRP-350 its running a dual 2 ohm SPL dynamics V-300D4 sub wired to 2 ohms so getting the full 350 rms. I am wanting to add another amp to run my components there FLI comp 5 and have 75 rms

am thinking of getting a small amp like this http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpi...22-p-5748.html or something a tad cheaper

i want to know will the car be okay handling both amps or will i need an alternator upgrade/another battery. I have a Bosch silver in there at the moment i think also 4 Gauge power/Earth wires.

thanks for any help

Yeah I run a 6 channel amp in the back to power the subs and rears and an active crossover and an amp in the front to power the fronts. Never had a problem.
