Battery Problems with this setup?

I am taking the old system I had out of my truck, and will be installing it this week in my camaro... but I have a few questions about power...

I recently had car stalling issues on the camaro due to the alternator, so it was just replaced... heres my question

I am putting in 2 Alpine Type R 12s, powered by a Rockford Fosgate 1001BD amp.

Will this drain too much power from my battery and cause more electrical problems? Will the car stall? Lights Dim?

I ran the system in my truck with the stock battery and no capacitor, and I would like to do the same here.... I had no problems, but this was a 2002, I am wondering if a 14 year old camaro will run into more problems.

Any advice or answers would be really appreciated.

Thanks

i think with a stock alt and a good battery you should be alright as long as you dont have it blasting all the time. Upgrade your magic three wires and you'll have less charging issues. You might have to throw your battery on the charger overnight once a week or so but thats really no big deal.

you could also just upgrade your alt. get your stock one re-wound or buy a whole new unit alltogether to make sure you've got enough juice. You cant go overkill with an electrical system
