high output alternator

I have a 98 lincoln towncar with a dual battery setup: optima red top for starting and optima yellow top for audio, my alternator just went out and i am thinking of going with a ho alt, stinger ho alt, makes them 150-200 amps, but im not sure how high i should go with.  The stock alt is 135amp. Is it even going to be worth going with a higher than stock  alt or should i just go with the oem replacement? I will have 2 - 4channel polk amps and a kicker 1500 watt sub amp and small power inverter running off my secondary battery. about 3000 watts total max power.jake

i've heard bad things about those stinger alts...like them failing within a year

Stinger is not that great. Try this, hit up a audio shop and ask if they can reccomend someone to build a higher amp one. I have a place near me that does it. It a auto electric shop and all i had to do was buy a new or reman one and left it with them for 3 days. They turned it into a 180 amp from the stock 120. I had 4000 watts and 2 deep cycle batteries. Also i had that car and that setup for 3 years and never had a issue.

I found a shop to rebuild it. They built it up from stock 135amps to 200amps for about 150 bucks, and they cover it for up to 1 year. Im going to put it back together today hope all goes well.jake

there ya go....easy when you can find a place that still does it...
