it depends on the current draw of ur amplifiers. We cant just tell u if u need a upgrade just because u have 1 or 2 subs. Hell u can have 100 subs and if ur amplifier only draws 1 amp than u dont need an upgrade at all.

What he is trying to say is what are you planning on using?

depends on amp draw. you can prolly get away with a kinetik in front and a new alt and the big3.

160+amp alt and a kinetik 2000 under the hood + big three. many different ways to go with it.

think i just mentioned one. using a stock amp alt you would probably need 2 but with the alt upgrade you should be good with just the one i mentioned or another brand being a classic car i think i would run an agm style battery for sure since they don't corrode.
