Default Do I need a higher amp alternator?

I need a new alternator and am about to put in two amps in my car. First is a Pioneer 760 watt amp and the second is a Pioneer 200 watt amp. I was thinking the stocker would do, but I wanted to check to make sure, if I don't need it I'm not going to spend the extra money just because.

I have a '90 model and the stock alt. is 105 amps.

You did not provide much information but the short answer is no - not now. After you have it set up and power presents a problem then readdress the issue.
