so pretty much i have a stock 2002 V6 accord and i am wondering how many watts (mono and 4ch) can i run in here without adding any extra batts or anything and still get full power out of my amps? i was thinking of doing the audioque ad2200d and a strong 4ch or two bridged 4ch.s like 100-125x4???all info would be appreciated

The site I just checked (not sure on its accuracy) said that the stock alternator is 105A. That means, roughly about 1200W max (upgrade Big 3 of course).

With the Audio Que 2200 and another amp, you should look into a better battery and as close to 200 amps as you can get in an alternator! You could go as high as 250 just to play it safe and have some additional capacity to run your vehicle accessories along with your sound system. The only problem is finding HO alternators for Hondas without doing extensive modifications. Well, that is the case with my 1997 Civic whereas HO alternators are a dime a dozen for my 2006 Mustang GT.

Yeah, 2400W, you would need a 200A capable alternator, and probably another small bettery just for some extra capacity.
