would a stock electrical system be able to handle a 2500 watt kicker amp and 400 watt kicker amp..truck is a 2004 denali? what would i have to do to it to ensure will be well without having to get a HO alt right away?

i highly doubt it, it would work with major light dimming and might soon be a dead alt

some new batts at least 1 nice up front and another one in the back

do the big 3 and upgrade the wires for alt to batt and everthing

and dont buy a cap

thats about it unless you get a new alt

at least 200a

get a new alt run 1/0 awg to the back to a yellow top and run both amps off that yellow top

thats the simplist way you can do it

why against alternator? if you just upgrade to new batt then wires and could get a bigger alt that will be direct bolt on? cheaper/easier(maybe not cheaper but close) then running multiple Batts.

This should sum it up; the alternator is the heart of your system.
