Any high output alternators for a '98 SE 5-spd

Looking to find out if any other oem alternators "BOLT-UP" to the 98 VQ SE manual with no ABS. I need a unit that will push 150+ amps at idle for my stereo (high SPL and perfect SQ). Running an Alpine CDA-7949, JL XR 6&1/2"s, 5&1/4"s and tweeters up front, JL XR 4"s and tweeter for rear fill and JL W7s, either two or three 8"s or two 10"s. All Stinger Platinum interconnects, 1/0 AWG from stock battery to Optima Yellow top in rear, with battery isolator, a 1 farad capacitor, and all esoteric speaker wire. Will dynamat the doors, and trunk first, the roof, firewall and floor. Akps pushing them: Kicker ZR 240 for front, ZR 120 for rears, and a strong ZR600 to push the subs, probably in a sealed bandpass, tuned to @ 68 Hz, and vented either through the rear-seat console cubby trap-door, for lack of any better term, or through the rear deck (reinforced of course). I will be building custom fiberglass/MDF sealed enclosures for the components front and rear, and will attempt to keep it looking completely stock, or as close as possible without compromisinf SQ, i.e. factory grills, etc. Back to the question at hand; Are there any other alternative alternators available without having to go to Stinger/AAMP of America, as I had one that was perfect for my 98 Sierra Z-71, but quite costly. 160 amps at idle 220 amps at 2,200 RPMs. Even with a 12K lb. Warn winch running, two 210 watt **** Cepek lights, two 65 watt fog lights, low and high beams running simultaneously 85 and 110 watts each side, respectively, and my stereo blasting at idle, and even with the engine off for 15-45 mins. at a time, for 5 hours, it never dimmed, or hesitated when cranking. I still have it, and may simply try to re-wire it, change pulleys if necesssary (to get the proper number of ribs), and fab a bracket to make it fit. If not, another alternative may be to fab a bracket to run two alternators (stock or the highest available) and simply re-route the serpentine belt, getting a longer one of course. Anyone who has had any experience with this, your input would be greatly appreciated, as I have looked on the internet exhaustively and had no luck, and I can't seem to search "the org" because, though I have owned two maximas, I lost my old e-mail and access for a while (I was homeless for a year and a half, and therefore computer-less) so I've had to re-register as a green horn. Thank you in advance for reading this dissertation of a post and if you have any[I] questions about anything at all, please feel free to ask; I would be homored to help/offer what knowledge I have to anyone who is willing to listen.

at what rpm? what output at idle?

Do you happen to know? Is it a direct fit? Available with and adj. voltage regulator? Just curious, too late to call now, so I figured I'd bounce it off of you. Do you know of any others who have purchased it? Thanks for the info, I'll give him a call, and also check out Deezo's setup, because I'm pushing 2,400 watts, with more to come in the future Class A/B amps pulls a flaming f*!k-ton of power power but it's as clean as Bill Gates' credit history.
