What amp alternator

[Mr FaceCaser]

Ok so I'm pretty sure my car audio system finally fried my stock alternator. I was curious what amp alternator do I need. I have 2 sundown Uv2 12s, and 4 ds18 pro zt6. One amp for the subs and one amp for the speakers. With both amps combined I'm pushing a little under 5k watts. I have an extra battery but forgot what model it is a XS battery. Thank you for everyone who reads or responds been a while since I posted

Add the amperage of all your gear to use as a baseline.

Your 5k amp should need ~500 amps. I do not think there are such big alternators for Altimas, so get the biggest you can find and re-enforce with batteries.

Ok any recommendations i heard to stay away from js alternators

Alternators rarely fail. Generally, it's the regulator that is worn out but it's more profitable for part stores to sell whole units. I don't know if he still in business but Singer is my recommendation.

There are a few companies that will custom make you one, but they are very pricey.
