135 Amp Alt good enough?

[NastyIrocZ 10+ year member]

I found a 135 Amp alternator for my Neon. Im going to have a Kicker ZR600 and a ZX460. Will 135 Amps be suffice? Also, I MAY eventually put in an LCD screen. Thanks. It's rated at 135 amps @ 1600rpm and 80 amps @ idle.

well basicly u need to know the following info.....

how many amps your car pulls while in idle

how many amps your amplifiers pull at max current draw

and how many amps anything else you have running on your car pulls....add all them together and then get an alt that puts out a little over that or so....goo dluck
