Surprise Surprise im confused about this to.

My trucks alternator currently is 130 amp stock alternator.

With 2 1000d's and possibly a 100.4, other than big 3 upgrade, it looks like I will need to do some more work on electrical.

If I get another battery say a deka or Kinetik 2400, is this going to be enough, or will I need to do a a 250 amp alternator. I didnt know if 2nd batteries required higher alternators, if that was like a pair deal or if I could just add a battery and call it a day?

Input and advice is desperately needed. I know best is to do both, but if I can keep cost down then I would prefer that route.
