Advice needed about adding speaker amp in a Hybrid

Has anyone had experience adding an speaker amp in a Hybrid? I want to drop in a 5 channel amp and think it will have amp draws on the battery of 60amp peaks. What might I be getting myself into?

It is a Kicker KX800.5 800watt amp with 5 channels. 4 @ 100 watts and the 5th for a sub is 400 watts @ 2ohms or 200 Watts @ 4ohms. I plan to run the sub at 4 ohms.

It will probably work very well going down a steep hill?
