Stronger alternator available?

my 04 2.3 alternator is gona get replaced due to the ac compressor going out. I have a 400w amp but would like to go bigger, like mabey 1000-1500w. thinking about the bosh replacement but it only offers 110 amp, the same output as fords replacment. or hsould i go capasitor? i only have a reg cab and its gona be crazy enough getting 2 10s and amp in there.... comfortably

I have a 190A alternator I am selling, it's a DC power alternator. Can you take a pic of the alternator you have now? I'm about 95% sure it will work. I had issues putting it on my 4.0 but it should be fine on the 3.0 and 2.3. Check it out.
The pics should help you identify it, if it looks close it's the same one. but check the clearance on the backside of your alternator and make sure there is room because this alternator is a little larger.

Or find a local shop to rebuild and rewind the original.

Since you got stuck with a unit that doesn't fit I wouldn't like it either.

I was asking $340 shipped. that includes 1/0 wiring and 1/0 battery terminals. Feel free to make a reasonable offer though.
