[QUOTE="BoogerMan, post: 8486314, member: 668837"] I was running about 2000w worth of Rockford amps in my truck off a yellow top, the big 3, and the stock alt (I think maybe a 90A IIRC). I would bump full tilt each and every day. My stock alt lasted a little less than a year before dying. If you don't have the money for one, you'll be fine without it for now. Just know that the stock alt won't last too long and you'll have to eventually spend money on a new alt or even better a H/O alt. If you can afford it, just get it now and save your stock alt as a backup just in case something happens with the H/O alt at some point. [/QUOTE]
