if you have a stereo in your car, you would be better off to have the alternator rebuilt with more amperage to it. I just went through the same thing, and ya, i was looking at about $250 canadian for a new one, and i had my old one rebuilt for 180 + 40 for installation.
the stock amperage is set to 105 amps, and I had mine boosted up to 200 amps to handle any power expectations i might need.
that would be the way i go about it, rather than having the same thing happen again from lack of power.
