Alternator question

[supercolts99 10+ year member]

I have a Grand Cherokee and I was wondering, would I need a better alternator to run a 600w amp or 800w amp? I just bought a Kenwood Excelon x889 and I am trying to put a good system together here.

Also, you guys like the Hifonics TX8805 , Directed Audio Extreme 4600x or the Clarion apa4320 620W AMP.

I need to figure which amp to get tonight and nobody has looked in the amplifiers section.

you will be fine with that amount of power. make sure you run adequete power wire for it. what is your budget for amps as well?

200.00 but I noticed some people on here like refurbished. I will still need to my components and rear speakers also so I would like to save some money.

I just dont know which amp to use. Where can I get the right wires once I choose the amp?

just any 4 gauge from a reputable company is fine. make sure it is fused within a foot and a half of the battery, and make sure all your connections are good. if you are going to do more than one amp, i would use something bigger like 1/0 then use a t-block for distrobution, but if you are only doing a single amp, one run of 4 gauge is fine.

I am only running one amp. Subwoofer comes later.

So which amp would you reccommend?

I will be running one amp for both sets, coaxials and components.
