What is the rated amperage output at idle?

What is the rated amperage output at idle?

160 amp idle at 800 rpm's

Do you actually idle at 800 rpm? lol. Go DC Power if you don't.

Also, you could get away with just one 270 alt but it kind of depends on how you listen to your system.

That alt will do just fine with that set up.
