sounds like a loose wire. try tracing through your stereo wires. i dought that it has anything to do with the altenator, if there was a problem there you would most likely have other prpbs as well.

believe it or not I found what the problem was my alternator was putting out too much power and when I give it the juice it would trip the overload switch inside of the amplifier. I couldn't run anything that would throw over 50 amps when revved luckily the subs are thumping as good as ever while the battery is charging
