Thinking about alternator upgrade!

Ok guys i have 2 audiobahn flame subs (1100 watts rms each), 2 JBL 1200.1 Amps (for each sub), and a JL audio 300.4 to go with my focal components. I want more bass! My stock alternator output of 115-125 amps. My question is if i dish out 200-300 bucks for a new one with more amps will this help me achieve more bass???? I need moreeeee!!!!!!!!!! Bass hungry!! thanks

**I also have a yellow top, RF fared cap, 0 guage power wire, 250 amp anl fuse, along with (2) 120 amp mini kf fuses, and (1) 40 amp kf fuse for my 4 channel amp. ***

in short-not unless you're not feeding the amps what they want. if you want more bass, trash those Abahns and put 2 Adire Brahmas in their places.. i have never heard 2 brahmas, but one alone will make your brain feel like its turning to mush...

if you really do have 2400 watts rms of power and you want more bass, either your system is not hooked up/eq'ed right at all, or your deaf.

I dont feel like im getting the full potential. Or maybe its so loud that i got used to it. I just bought some more dynamat for my coaxials, they keep rattling. Also, Im not even close to breaking my windows. lol
