Default Mechanic blames amplifier for alternator failing?? Help>>>>>>>>>>>

I couldn't agree more.

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...
