At least a thousand, probably fine with 1500.

P=EI

90 amps x 13 Volts = 1170 Watts

Most amps are 50% efficient, so around 600W continuous before your battery starts discharging. Class D amps do more with less!

Fortunately music is not continuous, so yeah, up to 1500 watt amp will be Ok . Upgrade all your wiring, and bump it.
