Like the title says, what do yall do when it comes to adding more electronics on the old factory alternator? Got any links to a preferred alternator?

Depending on the draw of your audio system, a good GM 100A+ alternator will usually do the job. You can get up to 140A setups from most auto parts stores. Unless you want to run a ton of power, that SHOULD be enough and won't cost you a ton of money ($150 or so)
