Need a new alternator for the 2.8 v6 whats my options.. couldnt find shat in the serc

Im runnin a system .. amps pushen 1000 watts.. so i need a bigger alternator and i kno it.. i think the system killed it.. so im thinken a 140+ what would be the easiest alt to hook up with not a lot of fabrication.. money isnt an option. I kno my alt went bad because when i hooked up the new battery, it said 13.5-14. volts right away then dropped to 12.... then turned the lights on now were down to 10 and so on.. lol shes shot any opions will be greatly apprieciated!
