Hi amp alternator? where to buy?

Hi. My current install is going to pull 300amps at the most. Now my stock alt can supply 130amps if lucky... I was looking on ebay and internet I was able to find few hi output alts, but how big my new alt should be(how many amps)? Cuz I cannot find an alt that puts out more then 250amps.... and seems like i need 350 or more, or am I wrong?

depends on the car. and if you can you could put 2 alts that runs 250amps each. but it all depends on the car. if its a truck you can prob make a costum bracket to hold 2 alts and well of course you will need a new belt. you can also sacrefice your AC for an alt that would fit

Its a 97 civic 1.6.... doesn't have ac... so I might be able to find something that firs the alt.... now how do I approach this? Hook up the alts in parallel? and just get a belt for a civic with ac? Thanks for reply

I use IRAGGI and you can find his stuff directly on Ebay, or contact him through there and he will hook you up.

Dude I hate to tell you this but your stock alternator is not putting out anywhere close to 130 stock, its putting out more like 60amps. Like someone said iraggi is a good bet and you can also lookup ohio power generator. One question though, are you planning on using this car for a serious spl system or something because im curious as to why think you need so much power? I have a 2002 civic with a stock 80 amp alternator that I have done a big 3 upgrade on, 2 batcaps and a kinetik HC1400 battery and im running 2 very unnificient old school class a/b mtx amps one of them running bridged to 1ohm and im finding that the stock alt is more then adequate for what im running.
