How much can the alternator handle?
I would like to run dual Kicker s10L7's witha kenwood x-10d
Kicker --> http://www.millionbuy.com/kik06s10l72.html
Kenwood --> http://www.millionbuy.com/kenkacx10d.html
will i run into any electical problems such as the alternator won't supply the required power or i drain my batter while driving?
and if anyone has a system simlar to what i am creating please enlitghen me as to your installation and any problems you might of run into

Since you will only be running 2-300 watts with those subs according to the Kenwood specs I wouldn't worry about the alternator at all. I doubt you'll pull more than 15-20 amp peak, so most of the time you'll probably be pulling in the 5-10 amp range, which a stock alternator can handle fine.
The stock alternator can handle that system without any problems. As Greg detailed above, the peak and average current draws are not taxing on the system.
For the '02-'06 cars the MC alternator (Valeo) is rated at 120 amps, the MCS alternator (Denso) is rated 105. The lower rating is due to smaller physical size needed for the MCS alternator to be able to cram it in such a small space.
