You can use a v8 zj alternator with minor mods. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/v8-alternator-95151/ Or if you really want some power look into a mean green alternator.

Look up Finish Line in Detroit or Ohio Generator in, well, Ohio. I believe they both do custom windings for XJ's. I had a 190 amp made for a Ford, cost me $250.

It is cheaper and just as efficent to get a good capacitor and a good battery. I had two 12" kicker 1500w L7s and 4 kicker 6x9s. I never had a problem once I got the cap. and a optima battery.

Singer alternators makes good and affordable HO alts. Check him out. and of course Mechman and DC power alts but those are a little more money.

just do some researching and youll find something you can do yourself, i own a shop out here in socal with my dad and we specialize in alternators and starters. On my last jeep i made a 200amp alternator and for my current jeep im shooting for 265amp but ill most likely be at 250

Would a capacitor help I haven't thought about buyin one but with a 1800 Watt amp and 2 12in infinity subs I'm sure it would help what do u guys think
