In my new system im gonna get the JBL 1200.1 which puts out 114A. My alt in my 97 cavalier is 105A i was told by a guy at an auto store. Im going to upgrade my wiring from the ALT to the Bat. to 0 or 2 gauge. And after i get everthing about a month or 2 later i'll have enough money and im going to get a redtop 1000 CCA bat. Should i be fine having no power issues if i do all this?

yeah, you should be okay for a while, because you are rarely running the amp at the full 114A rating, just every once in a while, so the new wiring and battery should do just well unless you have another amp in your system that is also pulling current, because you have to remember that the car is using the majority of that 105 amps for its electrical system without any aftermarket electronics. you may be able to run it okay for a while, but i still would recommend a new alternator. i know its not cheap, but it would be a wise decision all around.
good luck
