I dont see why you couldnt have a stereo. if you have a crazy huge system then thats another story, so i suppose it depends on what u have. u might need an extra battery or something, im sure someone here has a straight answer for u, theres several dudes runnin big audio junk.

I only have one 12 and highs amped. So i dont think it will affect it that much but i dont want to chance it.

I think you should be fine, since you dont have alot running.
I have one TREO SSX 12", Polk speakers, and 2 Bostwick amps w/ an optima red top, extra battery, and custom high output alternator, so I know I will probably never run a UDP w/out an ODP.

Just incase you have any problems you could get an Adam K ODP pulley for your alternator. The ODP is a smaller pulley for the alternator which will keep the alternator spinning at the same speed or close to it.

does the odp have any performance gains or is it just a good idea to keep the alternator happy? doesnt ANY reduction in reciprocating mass help?

does the UDP affect the A/C? when i had my UDP oin the skunk, my A/C didnt work, so i had taken it out before the UDP went on. but i've heard rumors about the UDP casuing the A/C to not be as cold, any input would be cool, cuz i kinda want a UDP for the new car

I've had mine on for 2 years or so and don't have any problem with the A/C putting out cool air.
Also... no the ODP doesn't have any performance gains other than to help with charging.

^due to the fact that its not part of the normal driveline? isnt the ODP just for the ACC?

No issues here with the air conditioner, nor have I ever heard of it being a problem. Your a/c compressore might have to cycle more with the a/c running, but probably not even enough to notice.
