What can the stock alternator dish out?

Can it run a 300/4 or 450/4 and 100/1 (JL amps)

I am thinking of 450/4 and 1000/1, 3 farad cap, and a yellow top if I need it, but does that battery cause issues? I need to know so that I can have a place go through with the install, if I can get away with a smaller cap, let me know.

Altenator

The stock altenator is 120amp. It is very good for amps!

yeah the stock altenator should be able to handle those two amps... the yellow top battery would be a good upgrade.. and for the cap personally i would go with the alumapro 5 farad... or maybe a battery cap.....

Yeah right now the cap is a 1 farad Stinger...there was a good deal at this place on a stinger 3 farad...how much is that AlumaPro usually? I may take the stinger, I think they are decent and I think I can get the 3 farad for $250.

you can get the alumapro 5 farad on the web for about $225... and i personally feel that the alumapro cap is a better choice... the alumapro cap does not connect str8 to the battery like most caps the alumapro actually has a relay system... the relay system also dicharges the cap every time the power on the car is turned off....
