How to power 6k watts , opinions

[OldHeadBASS]

I just play music when I daily. How big of a alternator do I need and, how much lithium do I need ?

How loud do you play? What amp are you using? Do you find yourself running out of juice now?
What is your budget?

I ran a single smart 3 off a 320 amp alt with a 50ah agm under the hood and a 100ah agm in the rear. It was a little overkill but Taramps don't like low voltage so overkill is your friend here.

How many total amp hours do I need for the smart 3 at 1ohm and, a 1k watt amp for my mids and highs ?

You're mids and highs won't need much, those frequencies don't pull a lot of power to get loud.

Your power needs really depend on if you're planning on playing music or tones on your subs

You don't need lithium for a Taramps smart 3. A decent AGM battery in the stock location and a 250 amp alt is more than enough.
