Stereo upgrade question

[dtom4]

I've upgraded my stereo and installed a 400W amp driving a Bazooka bass tube. I plan on adding 2 6X9 speakers later. The head unit is a 45W per channel sony driving 4 speakers and a cd changer. I'm worried the stock alternator won't be able to handle the power draw of all the added electronics. Any thoughts? I'm sure many of you have experience with higher end systems in your car. Thanks

I have a 450w (1ch) profile amp driveing two 12 and a 300w(4ch) bazooka driveing the door and deak speakers (stock size) a carlion (sp?) head unit with t.v. and sat. radio, xbox, two radar det. and a cell phone charger on my stock ex alternator and had only a problem with the head lights diming at idle but did a ground wiring mod and fixed it no problems now

I've got a 600w 5ch Directed Amp running all my speaker and sub. I have the radar detector in too. I don't have any problems with power with stock alt. I don't have any dimming problems either, but I still want to do the ground upgrade.

i had a 600 watt ma pusing a audiobahn 15 with audio pipe componets and i also have a 6.5 monitor and ps2 underbody lights radar detector and lights under the dash the altenator will be fine but if you want you can add a second battery for an extra sense of security.....
