Question!

I beleive i have a stock 60amp alternator on my car.....How many watts from a amp ON average is suitible on a stock alternator before i would have to consider a aftermarket alternator.....im kinda new to this shit here....the most i ever had running on my car was a Rockford fosgate 350 watt amp 175x2 with two kicker cr's the worst that happened was light dimming.....since wilma came through a tree hit my car nice as **** and water got ALLLL into the amp and the kickers got damaged too....Im shooting now for a pioneer 760 watt amp 125w rms x2 at 4ohms and 190 w rmsx2 at 2ohms and a pair of kenwood 12 inch subs 800W peak, 200W continuous

Impedance 4 ohms im pretty sure the light dimming would get worse lol....but with the kickers the most i would turn it up is half way on volume im pretty sure the same are gonna apply for these maybe less volume (shitty rear speakers thats why) i havent done the big three i might do that in the next 2 months or so....but in the mean time would my alternator be able to handle shit like that? i mean i know there are alot of variables but i mean if some one has a stock alternator na powerful system has it ever gave u problems?

that setup shouldnt give you any problems, but is your heart set on those subs and that amp?

For around that price, a better amp or subs might be available dependign on waht you like
