Beefing up my electrical...too much? not enough?

[MonkeyBone 10+ year member]

I'm putting a new system into my 2002 Mustang GT and the components of my system are:

Kicker zx1500.1 @ 1ohm (going to two 12" Hypnotic Hz12)

Zapco AG750 @ 2ohms or 345wrmsx2 (powering CDT Audio ES-620Z)

Rockford 100.2 (for rear fill - Infinity Kappa 4x6)

I was going to get a 180 or 200amp alt, yellowtop, and a power cell of ???? size.

So is this too much? Not enough? or just right?

biggest alt you can get.

a yellowtop under the hood

2400, possibly a 2000 should do it in the rear.

Cool I thought it should work, and you answered the power cell question too. Thanks!

Where is the best place to buy an alt for my car? I don't need top of the line but something decent in the 200 amp range.

I saw a rebuilt 200 amp alt on ebay, but I'm guessing ebay alts are like Krypotine around here?

get a mechman alt also he is having a sale for $100 off.

i think the sale is for CACO members tc, i could be wrong tho.

also, while your checkin out mechman, grab a D3100, should be a good rear batt also.

I would stay with car audio alts. they react to voltage change a lot faster then a slandered H.O. alt which is good if you are going to be running an alt that is really close to your average draw so you dont get dimming lights but haveing two bats will also help that. I would talk to Mechman they have good stuff for good prices.
