I have a 2000 Chyrsler Cirrus Lxi. Will I need an HO alternator for an Audiobahn A8000T amplifier (12.5 input voltage, 800Wx1 RMS output at 2 ohms, 2 30 amp fuses) and an Audiobahn A4004T amplifier (12.5 input voltage, 100Wx4 RMS output at 2 ohms, 2 20 amp fuses)? If i do need an HO alternator, then what one would you suggest?

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

do a big 3 wire upgrade. a new battery . kinetik audio if you want to spend the cash. www.kinetikaudio.com . if not just get a new battery. that is the correct cca for your car. then get eveything installed.then you can got to a local auto shop,and get your eletrical system tested. then you will know what you need for an alternator.

You have a total of 100amp from your 2 amplifiers. This is exactly what I have in my 2000 Prelude and I've been running this stuff on stock alternator for over a year with no problems. The stock alternator outputs about 75amp, it could be different on your car, but I don't think it'd be too significant.
