Alternator recommendation?

[mobbdeep 10+ year member]

Hello,

I have a 1999 Chevy Lumina 3.1L v6 and I believe the alternator went out. Recently my car has been dying randomly and now it is completely dead and doesn't hold a charge when I jump it. It died 3 times before I was able to back it into my driveway and I ended up pushing it under my canopy. At one point, it completely died just by me putting the windows up because it was raining.

Anyways, that being said.. I am looking to buy a new alternator and I'm not sure what to go with. AutoZone suggested the standard 105A alternator should do but I have subs in my car. I've got 2 x 12" Kicker CVR's with a 1000.1 mono block amp, so I want what's best for the system and alternator but also inexpensive as I don't have a big budget.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

With that setup you should be fine with a stock alt and a big 3 upgrade. Unless you plan on running 4k+ watts just get a stock

Thank you. This will save me money so I won't have to worry about getting a HOA.
