no high output alt solution?

[Xjeff 10+ year member]

Hello I have a 2006 dodge stratus and I've looked high and low for a high output alt for it, all the known good brands that make them don't make one for my car style. Is there a away to get juice for my amps? I'm currently running a 1500 rms mini d block for my sub and a a/b 600 rms amp for my fronts. I have dimming lights like a strobe light when I'm at high volumes. Is it possible to run mulitiple stock alts I believe they're only 85 amps. I also have a xs power battery in the front not sure of the model installed a couple of years ago. I want to stay away from caps of possible. Any advice would be helpiful even if it's "you're screwed". Thanks!

I had same issue and mylows got me a singer alternator. I have a s3400, juice box and a yellow top and my lights still dim on high volumes. So just keep in mind your lights might still dim.

well i had my through explanation deleted so ill keep it short. your car has a small case hairpin. they arent great at idle with a small pulley ratio and low idle speeds. thats why the higher amperage alt you get, the further the power curve is shifted thus you lose idle given same rotor speed. a healthy compormise for idle to output is a 240A small case alternator.

Excessive amperage has small case 300a-350a hair pins that do great. We got one on the Hhr
