Noob, I need help installing system

[blitz_fist 10+ year member]

So I'm getting what I think is a decent system, two Mmats Dreadnauts 15s, and a Mmats D3000.5D amp. It will also have a 2-farad capacitor.

I'm just worried, because I read about cars having HO alternators, and I want to know if running that amp would require one, because I Really don't have the money for it. It's a completely stock 98 Sentra. I looked at the "big 3" thread, would doing that be enough with the cap? I don't want to mess up my car, I don't know what would happen if I need a HO alt and I run it on a stock one.

welcome to the site, do not get a cap. do the big 3 and upgrade your battery to an optima or kinetik and you should be alright if you cant afford an h.o alt. but do not get a cap

Hmm, can I just ask why not to get one? I'm trying to learn everything.
