alternator output?

my acura 96 2.5 TL. what is the alternator output?

and how do i figure out the total (max) amperage in my system?

2 RF Punch 400.4 (1 4 channels, 1 2 bridged)
1 RF cap
alpine 7873 deck
alpine 6x9 coaxials (sps6939s)
boston acoustics fx5 coaxs
pioneer 12" dvc sub (tsw3041dvc)

just curious. should i be worried for my alternator?

thanks

Our alternator really sucks. Max output is 90 amps. You can get a high output alternator from Austin519 for $450. Max output 200 amps!!! I have 2 RF amps and my idle drops so bad my car feels like its bouncing. I think my alternator is barely enough to run my system, forget the rest of the car's electronics. You're RF amps arent that big though, you may not have a problem. Just install everything and see what happens.

You shouldn't have any problem...the speakers and subs don't matter...just the things that draw power. That means your amp and deck. Since your deck isn't powering anything, it's drawing negligible power. Your 2 RF 400.4's draw about 30A apiece. So you should be perfectly fine.
