      Excessive amperage makes an aftermarket alternator for the Chevy Aveo. I have one a 200 amp alternator on my 05 aveo. Additionally, you will do better off upgrading your battery then buy a capacitor, as a capacitor will not give you the power you need during a heavy bass run.

      A cap is not the answer either. I know some will disagree, but please come with facts on this one. I will argue a cap will rob the system of power during recharge period. A cap in DC electronics acts as a filter to give clean power, it does not generate any power, so it will not solve the problem of not enough juice.

      Maybe the OP can give some more details of what he is trying to achieve and a budget. Then better advice can be given.
      I"ll be running 4 gauge to both amps, I'm going to try a cap but I know that it's just a band aid and a big alt and a good battery is what I'll need. Amps will be 200rms for the sub and 50-75rms per channel (only two needed) for the components, 10 gauge wire to the sub and 12 or 14 to the components.

      i would do a battery instead of a cap... same amount of money, and more of a solution.

      Not that I don't like overkill, but that is a little bit of overkill. 200rms and 150 rms amps can run on 8ga no problem. So run 4 to a block then 8 to each. And 12 is way big to fish thru the molex in the door (and expensive) for the components...at 75w...but of course it won't hurt. 16ga would be fine.

      Don't waste your money on a cap.

      If you are only powering the 2 channels and a sub, not sure why you want two amps. With the built-in crossovers you can run subs and comps on the same amp. Less space and less wires.
