Need a high output alternator
Maybe this belongs in the audio and electronics thread?
Any good audio shop can build whatever strength alternator you want.
I have a NAPA 200amp that works fine with my 750RMS audio amp, but I have an upgraded battery also.
~and that 200amps comes at 2,000 rpm.

Welcome to the org.
both the maximas and the i30's had a 200amp and 160amp alternator option i believe. ive seen them around. ebay has um. ive seen a couple in jy's but never needed them so never thought to pull um. There was some thread here that had the color codes for the power outputs. i believe they are red or green.
I've heard you can only get 50-75 dependable extra amps without enlarging the frame. Murano and Quest alternators reportedly fit and put out ~150A.
It may be possible to rewind a quest unit for 200-250A.

All you have to do is go to Google and type in "high amperage alternator" and you will get results like this:

This one is nice because it has high output at idle. A lot of other alternators have to be at a higher rpm.

You don't need an HO alt. Just get more batteries. Take it from me. I have a 2200watt RMS high end system. You may need to replace the stock alt maybe after 5 years but HO alts are just bad for the electronics in your car. Expensive as hell and have premature failure more than a stock one. Also the fact that you can't change it out and put it into another car.

HO alts for Maximas don't come cheap because there is a low demand. Now if you found a Honda unit that fit you might get it cheaper.

I just emailed them. The best offer Ive gotten was from SInger and it was 439 bucks for a 250amps alt. Plus he includes an overdrive pulley to boost the idle output (this will spin the alternator faster at low RPMS to boost idle output by around 30 to 40A more then the stock will).

I'm pretty sure the alternator pulley will be smaller than the stock one. Maybe the belt tensioner will be able to take up the extra slack in the belt, maybe not. You might have to get a smaller belt.
FYI - the stock belt is 43.5 inches.
but with those 3 things i mentioned its only about 500 bucks.and ull good with that.
u wanna check high output alternaters check here.

Well i think ive figured everything out. I can get a Singer HO alt. 250amps and 150 at idle for 439 and get a XS Power battery for 125. So itd be about the same amount of money as you are telling me but thanks though.
I know Mechman alt. was offering a deal were if you purchase a alternator and XS power battery at the same time, you received a 10% discount. Dont know if this is still going on, but you should call them and ask. I havent heard that much info regarding Stinger alt.( not saying there good or bad) but the two that I heard alot about when researching HO Alt. is Mechman and DC power.
