^ All of those very good and you will probably want to upgrade to at least a 160 amp alt (200 amp recommended).

ok i was looking at getting a 200 amp alt. and i may be able to do a second battery in the back but im not sure yet i will let you guys know when i decide. with that said i may be able to do a little bit more power so i was wondering if the gp3000.1d does rated power?

GP3000D's will do rated power.... they are, without a doubt, very excellent amps. The loudest SM1-2 vehicle so far this year uses 4 of them.

Because music is dynamic and amplifiers are not constantly pulling their max current.... plus i doubt people drive their equipment all out constantly, a second battery should not be needed with a 200amp alt. All you would need is a good up front battery. If you start getting into competitions or if you run your system for periods of time while your car is off, then a second battery would be something you would want to get.

^ Ditto
