Need more juice!!

I recently installed a memphis 1000D amp. I love the amp except it draws mad power from my alternator. I have heard everyone recommending to upgrade your alternator. This is easier to do in most cars than mine. I was wondering what my alternatives are. I own a 1994 Olds cutlass supreme. It has a 3.4 motor in it. The alternator is 105 amps. To replace or remove this alternator requires tilting the motor and is extremely time consuming. I have found an item called a batcap by Xstatic. Do these do much as far as improving the life of your alternator/electrical system? Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful.

The only thing I can tell you to do is either go through the trouble and take the current alternator out and get it rewound or get a heavy duty one, or pay someone else to do it for ya. As for the batcap thing I dont know if that will help you or not. But I would go ahead and go through the trouble and permanently fix the problem and replace the alt.
