under the assumption that you will be running the memphis at 1 ohm, it will put out 1100 watts RMS. This alone is roughly 86 amps. I would look into an alt that is at least 120, closer to 150 amps.

well if you have two amps pulling about 172 amps from your altenator it leave about -12amps for your car to draw from if you got the 160 amp alt. and the second amp.

if you plan on adding another memphis amp, look into something in the general vacinity of 200 amps.

maybe the 210amp alt. just for a little over head. 200amp alt. will probally be cutting it a little close if you get the second amp.
