Sorry if I was misleading; I didn't mean to say OP needed a new alternator. I was just saying that if someone is at the point where they think they need a capacitor, then what they really need is a beefier alternator.

This is good to mention. When I upgraded the system in my expedition, I replaced the (shitty) factory Bose sub with aftermarket. It's mounted in the sidewall between the sheet metal and the interior plastic trim. To get something aftermarket to fit into that space, I had to get a special low-profile sub for an aftermarket enclosure. It was tidy, but it was NOT cheap.
