Before I get my system set up I was wondering what the alternator should be rated at to have a rockford fosgate bd1000.1 at full power and the pioneer premier DEH-P930 with the MOSFET 50Wx4 rating in the radio so my truck will start after I use my system???
It's in the shop right now so I haven't had a chance to look at the rating. My truck is a 96 gm sierra extended cab w/out the third door.
Oh, and before I forget, did I see something to have the punch bass all the way down...or was it all the way up...or was I just seeing things and it doesn't really matter?
Thanks again

I would say a stock 90 amp alternator would be OK for that amp, it's a very efficient amp, but if it were me, I would probably get a 1 farad cap. Wouldn't hurt to jump the alternator to like 140, but I don't think it will hurt much to have something smaller with a cap. But that's just my opinion.Testing

i drive a 97 jeep grand cherokee with 2 eclipse 1100 watt amps pushing 4 12" momo's and i upgraded to an ohio generator 200 amp alternator i work at an aftermarket auto parts store so i got it for right about 460$ it gets put in on tuesday so i'll be able to tell you how it works after that

You will be fine. It is class d. A cap will not hurt, but it adds load to the electrical system.
-
all you have to do is add up all the fuse rating, that will tell you what the amps will draw. then find out what your alt. is pushing.
