Mr Alternator, 200 amp CS-144. Simple bolt-on installation as it was the SAME model alternator built with high output stator and rectifier.

hmm, well, mine's an ex police interceptor, and unless i'm mistaken, they have 200amp alternators...due to all the lights and sirens. But, i also dont need that much power due to placement of the sub and size of my box...it's all about efficiency!
