Change Alternator on 2001 Max?

I have a 01 Max. It seems my aftermarket radio still dims my lights. Is it possible to get a bigger alternator put on my car?

Geez. What are you running? You do not have an underdrive pulley? I know people who have put systems in and with an underdrive pulley it is fine..... This is making me think maybe a grounding issue?

Max should have an 110 volt alt.
If not that would be the most i would put in.
you may want to just put in a 1 farard Cap.

110 amp alt maybe?

My 800W amp, even with an Optima, still (faintly) dims my instrument cluster at night when the bass is hitting hard. It was 10x worse with stock battery.
