Pimp, you have the best rims that I have seen on the alero. Where did you order them from and what size is it?

160amp is more than enough. get that, upgrade the wiring (search for the "BIG 3" its a popular mod to get more from your alternator) and a yellow top battery.
what kind of amp and model number? most likely he's reading the "2400 watt" label and thinking its actually 2400 watts.
he had 17's, dont know what kind

some places say its 95, some say its 105....not sure
www.mralternator.com sells a 160amp, which is what he'll need, upgrade the alternator wiring, the battery's ground, and the engines ground wire........thats the "big 3" as its commonly reffered to
