I would highly suggest a HO alt, but not from Iraggi.

Tirefryr; first thanks for taking the time to answer. Highly appreciated!
To be honest, with my previous installation (2x JL Audio 1000 & 1x JL Audio 450/4) I already experienced problems with my power setup. Of course a part of that could be blamed on my old Optima Yellow Top, but still... Not enough power imho. When I turned the volume up, my capacitor (Lightning Audio SCC1 50 Farad Carbon Capacitor) with voltage meter started acting weird. Weird as in no more readable voltage at all! While it was seconds before showing approx. 13.4v (give or take a few).
I also read some stuff you posted on SSA, but still I cannot seem to make my mind up.
Why shouldn't I go with Iraggi? I read a lot of forums and postings and this guys alternators pop up frequently with satisfied people. Something wrong with his alternators?
I also contacted Nathan from Excessive Amperage, but he needs more information on my stock alternator, since (here it comes) I drive a Diesel Lexus, which is unknown the United States market (and I can't blame him for that). Sure it doesn't sound that hard, to get a few pictures and some information regarding the stock alternator, but it's not very accessable.
Also the price is pretty high, but I guess I have no choice.
Can you recommend me some other company's / persons who build custom alternator (and possibly also for a Lexus Diesel)? Since you are (way) more experienced in the car audio system industry than me...
I thought the alternator didn't make much of a difference between same brand cars, but apparently it does.
Sorry for my English grammar if something does not sound correct.
Thanks in advance!
