Default Seat heaters and system

I'm thinking about putting in a pair of seat heaters from fast toys http://fasttoys.net/shop/product_inf...products_id=94 and a new stereo system with a DEI 2205 amp, but I'm worried that the combination of the two will be too much of a drain on the alternator. I was planning on getting a 2.0 farad cap for the stereo, but will this be enough or should I look into getting a new alternator? Thanks.

The cap isnt going to do anything. All it will do is help supply extra power for a split second when your subs need that extra little bit. The problem is the second its done the capacitor becomes a drain on the system since it has to recharge. I dont know how much your amp and the heaters will draw together, but if it will be a problem a cap is not going to help you. Hope that helps.
