Need Priorites Straight Concerning my system and car!

Ok guys, well i having my system being put in as we speak.... i spent a good amount of $$ on it and i have a few dilemmas that need to be settled. i spent around 2000$ all together for my system alone. Here the deal:

I have a somewhat poor electrical for what im running. im running a sundown sax 100.4 and sundown sae 1000.1 D proto, smaller version of 1500D really... Each amp is rated at 90 amps. so that 180 amps of possible current being drawn even though realisticly it be around 120 - 140. I have a new battery but it is just a normal advance auto parts bought battery.

Also i have an aftermarket alarm put in 6 years or so ago... it works but the problem is the siren died i think from water from entering through hood since back then placement wasnt an issue.

So here my debate. I need both a HO Alternator around 180 amps and also a nice alarm system... i could also use some nice batteries like a kinetik 600 in the trunk or something as well or maybe just a 1800 under hood.

So now that u no what im running can u put the 3 in correct order that i should buy. Im thinking my alt should at least last a good 2 months before dying sooo ive been thinking.

1. Clifford 50.5x SST remote / 2 way alarm - 400 installed

2. Iraggi 180 Amp Dominator Alternator - 289 + 99 for lifetime warrenty

3. Kinetik 600 in the trunk - 100 - 120

That order you would do? or would u switch 1 and 2? Just LMK.

Thx,

Mike

well i just bought a second battery to put in the trunk that will be in a small made battery box. i hope it balances out voltage enough for no need to use bigger alt.

next thing is alarm for sure

Strange, you ask us what order to put them in and then you go and do it yourself. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I would have done the alarm, then the battery and the altenator. Least that is the right where I have headed.

Wait, I have factory alarm and I have 2 kinteks and no upgraded altenator yet. So uh, yeah! Do it like dat!

well idk if u know robin (iamamp3pimp, but he runs 2 batterys on a stock alt and his system wangs and he hasnt had problems soo.... i asked and he said to do that, so earlier today i went out and bought one.

I know it funny i make the thread, but he gave me the answer even if it wasnt on the forums. ALARM is next...
