If I get 2 of the JBL 1200.1 amps..would I need a bigger alternator, or a better battery?

I was thinking of getting a Optima Yellow Top and a 200amp alternator.

On my 2002 F150, the stock alternator is 130amp.

Would the stock be good, or should I upgrade...I was going to get a Optima battery, anyways, but what about a new alternator?

Its a good idea to get a new HO alt and battery. 2 of those JBL's will pull around 240amps max. Daily driving most likely you will not see that much draw.
