the KX350.4 is 60 watts rms X 4 right??
if so, your pulling about 115 amps for the stereo.
its usually best to add the aditional amperage to the stock alternator's output, making that 260 amps. so i'd say try to find a 200-250 amp alternator. or bigger if you can, always nice to have extra head room.
