Do I need a HO Alt ?

[Jakey253 10+ year member]

Hey, installing my system tomorrow. I was wondering if I will need an HO Alternator? My system consists of; x2 10" alpine type R, custom ported box, 1000 watt alpine MRP-M1000, pioneer premier cd player. I just bought an optima yellow top and might do the big 3 but not sure yet. I have a stock 2000 honda civic ex coupe. Will my lights dim? Do you think I will need an HO alt?

no. big3 should be good. altho i would rather have a powermaster d5100r under the hood. and maybe a d925 in the back if u still get dimming after the big3

no HO. do big 3 and maybe another batt in the back if that shit does not do the trick
