Hey Kyle, that'll depend on the 2nd amp's power. Your stock alternator can handle only so much power. If they both total around 450W rms, then it should be okay. Adding a capacitor will give you a tight bass and less light flickerings. Just make sure you have good ground for the amps.

No Sean, the amps can be any brand you like. As long as you have enough power for them, you're fine.

Hey Kyle, as long as you don't plan on maxing out the amps, you should be okay.
