What amp are you using? Typically you won't need an HO alternator to push that ammount of power. You might be able to get away with a bigger starter battery or an extra battery in the trunk. I wouldn't be too concerned what you stock alternator puts out because you don't know how much of that amperage the vehicle uses. The best thing to do is install the equipment and monitor your voltage. Upgrade your electrical as necessary. No matter what be sure to do the Big 3. If you don't know what that is there's a sticky here on what it is and how to do it.
