Not sure what size alternator you have and not sure of the power requirements for your sound system, but there are rebuilders who can increase the output amperage of your alt. There is one locally where I live, but another option is to get an alternator from an olds diesel with all the mounting hardware and they should bolt up to a small block Oldsmobile. The diesel alternator that was used was physically larger and probably has a larger output current, compared to what is on your car. I think I have a diesel alternator around here somewhere; I will check the amperage on it and get back to you. By the way, the amperage should be stamped into the housing of your alternator.
