alternator swap

[Athikerguy4life]

Has anybody done an alternator swap? im thinking of switching to a high output alternator because mine isnt doing so great. The Versa has been starting really hard if i use the stereo and headlights or other electronics.. I've already upgraded the battery, but obviously that doesn't help if you can't get the energy to it. I tried upgrading the power/ground cables (big 3 upgrade) but that hasn't seemed to help either. I'm not sure if anybody has done a swap, but if you have, do you have any hints or tips? Thanks guys

add a capacitor inline to the amp and reduce the draw?

I've heard mixed reviews on caps. I've heard people say they're awesome and they solve all your problems, and others say that they're just a bandaid and won't really help you, so I'm not sure if that will do it for me. I also can't find any high output alternators that fit the Versa. I just finished the big 3 upgrade and I got a bigger battery, but it still starts hard, even sometimes when the system isn't running! I leave my system off almost 90% of the time now.
