A thing to think about before buying an alternator: do you really need it?
Do you usually "bump" your setup at idle? Most alternators will not help you here. In fact, most alternators don't do their amp rating until 1500+ rpm. In this case, you will need more battery backup.

Now if you blare your music mostly while driving down the road, then sure, an alternator can help out.

Very true Fi-alero, But its doesn't hurt to have a Alt going at 110amps at idle is better than stock...

that's why having a good battery, and some storage devise for back up power.
i use THE CAP system, and never had a problem with using it.
