Is it better to use a deep cycle battery or 120A alternator or both?

is it better to use a deep cycle battery or 120A alternator
(this is the strongest my car can have)
For my 1500Watt car audio system ?
Its a 1984 Oldsmobile , 2 500Watt 12" MTX jackhammer, 2 MTX 6x9" 400watt, 2 Boss

ofcourse both would be best, but the alternator is a better choice if you're only going to go with one.
