I recently buy 2 sets of infinity reference to replace the old factory(crap), a orion amp for the speakers some 12" LCD sun visors and viper 5902 alarm I want to put all that on my car but I'm not sure if the car support a kinetic battery or with the stock battery is ok! Some opinions are required to know or if are too much current to my battery nd alternator or need new alternator please some ideas.

kalacho, first off, if the motor is running, you can remove the battery from the car and it will function just fine (within reason, read on). A stock battery in a car should only serve 2 functions: 1) to start the car or 2) to provide a means to get to a safe area following a sudden failure of the alternator. If you are using the stock battery for any other reason, you are simply putting a bandaid on a problem.
Along those same lines, if you are looking at installing a bigger battery due to additional current draw, you are only going to end up killing your alternator which is really going to leave you SOL. If you need a determination of whether you need to upgrade your alternator to something bigger, give me the model number of your amp and how you are running it and then I can determine if you need something more.
If you are looking for something to allow you to run the stereo with the engine off, then talk with me and I will tell you how to get the proper set up for something like that.
