Do i need to change the alternator? in order to get it to work.?

i have a 2001 pontiac sunfire gt and it has its stock alternator. it came with a system %26quot;Monsoon%26quot; but it doesnt have subs. so im thinking of putting an extra amplifiers 1000W and 2 12%26quot; subs. will i need to make other mods like changing the alternator or getting a capacitor?

no new alternator but a capacitor for a little car like that would help out alot. for 1000 watts get a 1 farad cap.

U shouldnt have to change it,,,check the rms level of what UR using and that'll show u whats WHAT ,,,only use a cap if the RMS on the speakers and amp is over1000 watts RMS....
A power capacitor is the way to go.
u don't have to change it to work because i have a 1500 watt hi phonics crunch amp with 2 12'' kicker compvt's and it hits extremly hard and the only thing i had to do was add a capacitor because it made all my dash lights blink with the bass and ever since i did that it does not hit with the bass and not to mention that i never had any problems out of my car before or after the capacitor besides the lights.
Whats the TOTAL RMS?



Probably needs to be upgraded if your total RMS is up there close to 1,000RMS.



I have a 65A alternator and it handles 500RMS and no more.



Oh and just to let you know, all the other guys have NO idea what they are talking about. A capacitor just makes things worse by putting MORE stress on the alternator.
