Put the amp in and give it a try. With the Big 3 you might be ok.

If you have a slight dim then maybe a n alt pulley will help, if not then proceed to an alternator.

A optima yellow or blue will never hurt.

I was thinking a kinetik but I haven't looked at pricing for anything of these yet.

True.

Nothing like getting stranded somewhere with a DEAD alternator and an equally DEAD battery.
