because i already have a 190 AMP high output(low RPM high output) alternator, 2 900CCA batteries, and 21.0 Farad caps...and it still gets rapped, have my month old 105 AMP alternator jus sittin there, and was going to hook it up...

its getting to the point where i cant "buffer" my power anymore, i need more power

im going to be pushing around 2500-3000 watts (RMS) when im done...

Geez, what the hell do you need that much stereo for? It just weighs down the car, and is an invitation to thieves. But hey, its your car. A guy I know with a Mustang (sorry) had two alternators on it, one mounted high and one mounted low. But if he hit a dip or a speed bump the wrong way it would knock the alternator off its bracket!
