That's a really nice set-up man! I don't know what size alt is stock on a camaro, that is only about 800 watt's rms isn't it? I have a 98 chevy 1500 extended cab z71 with a stock alternator, granted I need a new HO alt... I'm using the Rockford P8002 for sub's, Rockford P4004 for speaker's/component's. I'm using about 1200 watt's rms, and I believe the stock alt on the truck is a 105a alternator, and the lights dimn just a little!:-) That should give you an idea anyways. I'm guessing you might need a little bigger alt, you could take a look at 4alterstart.com for HO alt's.

Then I would recomend a bigger alt, you can eventually cause damage to you're stuff running a weak power source.
Like I have a lot of room to talk!:-) I just haven't decided to spend the money yet.:-) If I'm looking at the alt gauge thing, you can watch it go from 14V all the way down to the 11V range, that's not good at all either.
