Man, I can't get any kind of love here. Not like there are so many new threads in this place that mine could get lost or something.

Stinger makes a good altenator, but my first and best suggestion, (as I run a huge stereo aswell), Go to a local altenator and starter place, ask them to rewire you alt. and you want the most AT idle!! this was done to mine, I am getting roughly 140amps at idle and @ 2000rpm geting closer to 165ish...and it was ALOT cheaper then getting a new one

Not doubting you at all here, but my buddy had a couple 10 inch subs, 1000 watt amp and 4 aftermarket speakers and he still couldn't overload his k-car alternator
Of course, the stock alt might be no good at idle like someone else mentioned. For that you would need something more powerful.

There is a place called Mean Green (if I remember correctly) located in Blairsville/Derry, PA. They make the high output alternators for Mobile Spec. Usually will run you about $400 to get one done. See what you can chase up on them and give them a call.

Bumping old thread as I am looking to move up to the Kicker L7 with a 1500W amp. Guys said I need to upgrade my alternator. They gave me two places that do sell them. Ive looked one up so far but the other ahs their website being worked on.
DCPower & Ohio Generator. The tech said that the DCPower one was much better. I saw a 190 amp for $410 and a 220 amp for $489 and lastly a 320 amp for $669. Going to look into this in a little bit.

I used to run a 1500RMS amplifier on my car with 2 12's and had a small problem with lights flickering. I put in a capacitor and they problems went away. Maybe try a capacitor instead of the alternator. You should be able to find a nice one for about $100
