Alternator

Hi guys
What i am i lokking for in a heavier duty alternator.My alternator just went.
Is it higher amperage?
Im running a rockford Fosgate 200M and an Alpine about 300Watt.
Am I possibly draining my system too much or just a fluke the alternator went

Maybe complete the "BIG 3". That will help improve current flow.
