Default Max Alternator Output

What has been the experience been after stereo upgrades, I wonder how much power I can add to the electrical system before I need to upgrade the alternator and battery.

I had a previous bad experiece with an underpowered alternator, burnt through 3 before I put in a 100amp high output alternator. Didn't matter how much battery I put in the car I could never keep it charged when I ran the stereo. System was always in a state of discharge no matter what I did, new high output alternator no more problems.

Has anyone done this yet? What is the max stereo output anyone has put in a Z without upgrading? I will be running 1000watts on no 2wire. I hope it's not a problem IMO an alternator upgrade would be costly.
