with that kinda power i don't think u need a really big alternator...or even an aftermarket one.
Are u asking as far as brand or the amps that the alt. put out. As far as brands go it's all hit and miss...some comes to mind are Iraqqi, Ohio Generator, Mean Green, Excessive Amperage...that's all for now.

You should be fine without it. I ran about that much power before and all I had was the big 3 and a kinetik hc 1400 under the hood. Never dropped below 12 volts with the car off.

^x2

Unless you have a dismal like 60A alt or something, you should be fine, but do the Big 3 at least

BTW: I left out I was using a 90A stock alt with the other electrical gear I mentioned. I'm actually doing that right now with the Kicker ZX 2500.1 and without the Big 3 and I hardly get any dimming, don't know what voltage drop is like though, that's something I still have to check.

I'm pretty sure ur stock alt is good enough...most newer cars come wit at least 75amp alt. And usually that's all u need.
