U wont need it as ve been saying in your car audio thread....if u have a decent supply of power your system will run fine.

EF alternators i think were round the 10-110 amp mark....there are no suppliers of alternators in australia locally that will give you anything substantially better.

Delcon make one that fits with small mods but im not sure what has to be done or what its ratings are....stinger also dfoes a 350amp alternator but do order one in will cost u close to or over 2 grand.

My audio setup includes 6 amps 4 12" subs 3 batteries 1 25 farad cap and 3 component speaker packs...neon car kit , 300w inverter with a tv and xbox and my 110amp stock alternator runs fine.

So long as you arent running it hard at shows solely off the batteries or when your almost home from cruising with the music loud just turn the volume down or off like 2 mins from home for it to recharge the cells.

If you are really serious bout competition and the car running for a while then at the show just pay for a power outlet and have your gear setup to run off that...can even go 3 phase if u want
