Question Will There Be Enough Power

Note: Short version at bottom

Intro
Well, I've finally found the time and money to do a full blown upgrade to my baby, 1995 Pontiac Trans Am
http://home.comcast.net/~jayd1056/TA.html

and i was wondering with all this equipment i'm putting in here if the stock alternator and battery will be enough to power it.

If i had my car with me and not at the shop having lots of engine mods and repairs I'd just look and figure it out, but i want to order parts soon so i figure i'd just ask.

Part 1 Speakers

So anyway, i want to put in 4 Alpine SPR-17S

Powered by PDX-4.100

also, anybody know if the 6.5 fit in the front doors ok? it seams really tight, and i was thinking i'd have to drop to the 5.25's, which i don't mind so much, but i prefer to stick with 6.5's all around.

Part 2 Sub

and on top of that put a single JL 10W3v2

Carputer

Then on top of that the carputer and monitor.

summed Up Question

Has anybody had any problems with this much power consumption with a f-body (94-97). Before i drop all this in i wasn't sure if i should place a order to summit for a 150 amp alternator. I don't exactly have room in the car for a second battery, I'm trying to keep it as stock looking as possible, due to i go to a big 10 college, there are a lot of people that want a lot of stuff, and i'm already drawing enough attention to the car as is.

So short story
any problems using approximately 1120 watts of power (4 speakers@100W, 1 sub@600W, carputer @ max 120W) as well as running air conditioning on a relatively stock electrical system.
