Can I run 500 Watts

[oxxy 0]

My 2005 civic has only a 70 amp alternator and I was wondering If I can run a 500 watt amp without problem? Will my lights dim at night?

This will be the only amp running and I would do the big 3

Should not be a problem.

My cousin runs almost 1500 watts in his civic with the factory alt and a yellowtop.

You should be fine.

Should be no probelm! Make sure you have a good solid ground. I would recommend running 1/0 gauge for the future when you upgrade.
