No such thing as too much alt power. CB radios are more like audio systems playing test tones than audio systems playing music. Depending on how you want to use your system would determine whether or not it will be enough. Even though music is dynamic and does not have the same continuous load that test tones do, it can be harder to power unless you plan your system well. You will need battery power in addition to alt power to play music. To use a CB or play test tones, you can get away with simply alt power.
