lets start over

car is a 2012 ford mustang with the factory motor craft gl-995 alternator from what I can find online is 156 amp

looking at running pioneer gmd  class D amplifiers

one gmd 8704     100wx4   at 4ohm   running a focal 5 1/4 component set on channels 1 and 2   ,,,,    then using channels 3 and 4 on a separate set of focal tweeters

one  gmd 8704      100wx4       ran at 4 ohm    bridged to a set of 6 1/2 focal mids from a component set,,, 

one pioneer  gmd 9701       800 w x 1 ran at 2ohm   this will put out 800 rms at 2ohm    looking at a Dayton HO 12 inch  700w rms

the other amplifiers I have looked at is using Orion XTR

1 Orion xtr 500.4    class A/B    90w x 4       

1 Orion xtr 500.4    class A/B     90x  x 4    

1 orion xtr 1500.1    Class D     at 2ohm 975w     

total watts will be around the same either way using Orion or pioneer

can I run stock electrical  

  or

just do the big 3 to the electrical system ?????  add battery to the trunk????? put in a ho alternator

What should I do?

This is really the only correct answer since we have no way to account for the other variables. If you're not talking about the same exact...

Also, the alt is grounded to battery and cab. You can see the cables at the rear left mounting bolt.
