Mechanic blames amplifier for alternator failing?? Help>>>>>>>>>>>
I would only correct one thing. David said the poster needs a larger
alternator "and/or" a stiffening capacitor. There's no "or" about it
- he needs a larger alternator. Whether or not he needs a stiffening
capacitor as well depends on how much larger of an alternator he gets.

The mechanic is right!
The alternator has to provide enough amperage to power your car's entire
electrical system, charge the battery, then feed your amp. Most replacement
alternators only provide sufficient power to support the vehicle's OEM
needs, with little left for a slammin' system...
You need a larger (amperage-wise) alternator and/or a 1F (or larger!)
stiffening capacitor...
