I don't know the specific output of a '96 Intrepid's stock alternator would be but at a guess I would suggest that the factory-spec charging system isn't going to be sufficient for almost 1.5kW worth of stereo (assuming your given figure is accurate)

Definately you'll want to upgrade the "Big 3." (see the stickied tutorials regarding the specifics - 'Search' is your friend)

Probably you'll want to invest in a high output alternator as well. There are several different manufacturers of quality units that have online storefronts (Iraggi, Excessive Amperage, etc) Another option that may be available to you would be to have the existing alternator rewound for higher performance. If that's a viable option this is generally the cheaper option.

Uh, pretty sure he was asking if that much of a draw would ruin his electrical system in the car. What kind of amp(s) are you using?

Well, you'll probably find out if it is too much when your alt. or battery bails on you. Then maybe plan on upgrading. Or if you are concerned about it, just look at upgrading them now.
