I had a Crown Vic with the PI package (I believe it had a 170 amp alt, and the regular CV's had around 130) and I had a system with 2 solo-baric s15d's in it, added an extra battery in the trunk and the lights never dimmed or flickered.

myth.

you're not going to damage anything in the car by using a larger alternator.
All you're doing is increasing the peak possible current supply, not the voltage rails.
The only way you'll fry anything is by doing a half-assed install job.

You could run them off the head unit to start... but I'm sure you'll want to amp them down the road.

Ok think i will go with the d6100.1 for the sub. Now i believe i will be going with the d3 6.5, now they take 60 wrms, do you think i could get by running them off the hu or do you think the 15 will drown them out too bad?

It can't fry anything unless it's not correctly installed or you do something really stupid :)
The alternator is only going to put out as much power as is drawn from it.
