That alternator surely isn't going to keep all those amps powered, as well as keeping the battery(s) charged and the car running.

I doubt it will help as it's another load on the alternator.

Well could you or anyone else suggest something that would help???

theres gotta be something i can install or something i can do..... if people can install 8 x 15" woofers and whatever else they have in a vehicle such an SUV or whatever like what you see in car audio magazines and all..... then there is a solution for my needs somewhere with something!!!!

What your running batcap will be better, save room, and last longer.

If it's not custom, then it's not you.

You might have to add on a second alternator.
