Car interior questions

[Crazyjoker777]

okay i just got my gst eclipse and want to install my stereo in it but i have a few questions
1. how many amps does the car use with headlights on and running under normal driving conditions cause the stock alt is only rated at 75amps... now i need around 50-60amps for my stereo alone... but the engine bay is rather tightly packed and the alt is in a tight spot so i cant see fitting a biiger alternator in there... what can i do to solve this im running 130amp alts on my other cars...
2.best place to run a 0gauge power wire from the battery i havent really had much time to look in the engine bay but what rout did you take to get it to the hatch area...
3.what is the best looking mounting kit(pics and names please) one that is flush or has a trim panel so that it doesnt look like the deck sticks out a inch...
4. also iv been looking for a black gauge overlay that lights up blue but is similiar to stock

these are similair to what im looking for but only for a turbo eclipse...

if any1 is wondering my system its

alpine iva c800 indash lcd/cd/navigation HU
3 12"alpine type Rs
powered by a bx1500d (450watts a piece)
alpine type r 5 1/4
and alpine type r 6x9
powered by a kenwood 100X4

iv heard that the 6x9s wont fit so i will probably end up using the stock rears and then briding the amp for the 5 1/4

thanks for the feed back

1) haven't got a clue off hand
2) run it through the firewall then under the carpet/rear seats into the hatch
3)not sure
4) speedhut.com

heh thanks for the reply but you where a rather general with your reply i know that the wire has to be put through the firewall and under the carpet but is there a gromet that can be reached to run the wire through or do i have to drill my own hole? also speedhut doesnt quite have what im looking for so are there any other places that will

there is a gromet on the passange side of the firewall that you can pass the wire through...the other options would be through the steering boot or drilling your own.
