Man, Just

get a stock replacement as far as amps go. I have numerous accessories on my z and at one time had a 600 watt amp as well, never had a problem. Dont fall victim to overkill, buy a stocker.

stock amps idle is 85 running is around 105 so do the math on how many amps you will need to run your stereo, if you plan on running lots of amps, ide go with a higher alternator, 120 amps idle to 140 running, thats what i did
