Alternator and Battery Questions?

[tukn18s 10+ year member]

Hello all, I am putting a system in my truck, the tentative plan right now is a DD M3 with a DD C4, and two DD 2512's for the M3 and rainbow germaniums for the C4. My question is this, would two batteries, and a 200 amp alternator be sufficient to power this setup? Or do I need a higher amperage alternator?

i would think 200+ amps of an alt a battery upgrade under the hood and a group 31 sized battery in back would be fine. group 31 sized batteries would be like a kinetik 2400, oddyssey 2150 and both companies make batteries that fit under the hood as well.

cool so if I got like a 250 amp, upgraged to a redtop or yellow under the hood, then throw a kinetic in the back, it should provide enough power so that my headlights dont dim to a faint glow lol
