Default stereo build

right now i have a 92 jimmy, i got 2 kicker c15s with an alpine mrp-m500 powering them. i'm getting about high 130dBs with this. now im gettin 2 kicker 15-L7s and i plan on powering these with the alpine mrp-m2000. this amp draws around 180 amps so i'm looking at putting 2 alternators in just woundering if anyone has done this?? and how it's done??

That information can be found here as well...off road lights (as well as others --> search for AD244)

But if you are pulling 180amps with the system, you would either need a 200A alternator and run your system only at a high idle or go with two AD244's.

I'm impressed with the setup, are you running the same alternators as you said above? The 150 and 250?
