[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7463757, member: 631331"] I would like to add that having more then enough electrical for your system is very good, it keeps you from being tempted to use bassboost or anything to get loud, and it helps protect all of your equipment from issues with low-voltage. As amps are not made to handle less voltage then 12volts really. Also if you are going to stay in the car audio game for a while and might be upgradeing it feels pretty good to have the electrical to change up whatever you want whenever you want and never have to worry about it. If you are planning on keeping your current vehicle for 3 or more years it is very worth it to have a HO alternator to avoid any number of issues....even a smaller system 1k watts or so can shorten the life of your stock alternator, and it is no fun when those die out of the blue.
