your alternator is gonna put out 12volts reguardless of what you hook up to your battery.

the alt should operate at 13.8-14.4v..
Now, your alt probably put out apx 65 amps.. which isnt very much.. So when playing loud it will be put under major stress.. and die much faster.. so then you can have it rewound to put out more power.

hmm, i'd say the prices are alittle variable.... call up an automotive place, or better yet a specialized alternator place ;D

You can also have an alt of a Legend/Vigor rewound for you needs.. You'll obviously have even more power..
