I'm not sure whats available in Chicago, but more than likely there is a shop that manufactures and sells generators, and alternators. I found one here in Los Angeles thats been around for years and years.. and they made me a high output alternator that put out 170amps for a very good price.. I believe they're rated for at least 150, but mine hit 170 
I believe they had a website.. If I can find their info, I'll post it up..

Just find an automotive armature place that rebuilds alternators and starters and tell them you want your alternator uprated ..... I had mine uprated to about 120A for my rally lights.
It should cost about $50 if that and take about a day.

I have a pretty draining sound system, with a 5 farad cap and i just have the stock alternator. I've never had any problems yet and my stereo is almost always all the way up. I'm using one of those optima red top batteries though. I don't know if that makes any difference. I think my stereo draws about 130 amps at full power, which means at a musical peak, so I'm betting it doesn't draw anywhere near that much power most of the time, even when all the way up. If anyone has noticed a difference in the sound of their stereo since adding a high output alternator please let me know.

When my timing belt broke on 294, the tow truck driver was checking out my car. He's like you blow the alternator? I know a place that rebuilds em for audio systems.. I asked him where it was just for the hell of it, but i since totally forgot. I'm sure there are a bunch of them around the city? I'd just start calling everyone in the phone book and asking.
But he was saying like they rebiuld them for big amps, he had one on his car for his crazy system.

Sorry to chime in a bit late but, I think this is the place that Dan is talking about. I may be wrong but I believe John got a 110 amp alternator from here as well. C.P. Generator? Sound familiar Dan?

I've been driving on a rebuilt alternator for about a year and a half now. Got it rebuilt by Rotex and they were even able to rebuild it to squeeze out 90 amps. The greatest part about it is that it has a lifetime warranty. It crapped out on me when my oil filter got punctured (yup , my fault of course) and soaked it with oil. I took it back and they fixed it without any question.
