Upgrading stock system; first attempt.

So I am new at this audio update thing and I have a question for you seasoned vets out there. I am putting ALPINE SPR-69 6X9 in the rear and Alpine SPR-60C 6.5" up front. These will be fed by a Alpine PDX-F4 amp from a Pioneer AVHX8500BHS HU. Will be running stinger 4gu amp wiring kit to power the amp.

The question is "Should my stock alternator be able to handle the draw from adding this setup or do I need an upgrade?"

Let me know if I'm missing anything important as well. Plan on running new wiring; 16gu Monster car speaker wire. Ground loop isolator? Also should note I have no intention of adding subs if that helps with the power draw question.
 


That amp is pretty small. There won't be any alternator issues. Even with factory wiring under the hood.
 
I have a 700 watt RMS amp in my car. Pound it on the daily. Car doesn't care. Even at night with AC and headlights and fog lights. That being said, I'm not sure if the GPs have the same alternator as the Bonne does. Even so, you should be fine.
 
Sounds a lot like what I have. I have no issues, at most upgrade the alt to a JY Bonneville or Park Avenue one that looks the same. They'll be 125amp instead of the stock 105 amp.
