Need help on Alternators
So we have 500 efi engines and I need to get new alternators. We need to up the amps , so where can we get some that are on steroids. We run about 8000 watts and 30 + speakers ,+ 4-12 inch subs,+ 2- 10 inch subs and 4 tvs.
We had 8 batteries in the boat but it slowed me down 8-9 miles per hour. So we are on a search for some muscle. The alternators on the engines are very small factory ones.
Thanks for the help.

Seriously, I think a generator is what you need.

I have some really nice 95 amp Prestolite alternators in stock. (UL Approved) These will charge over 50 amps each at idle speeds. One on each engine would be 190 amps of dependable power. I have some other options also.

If your motors have the Mando alternators, you may spend more on upgrading them than just replacing them with another brand that already has a high output model, at least that's what my local alt guy told me. I went with Delco 100amp units and everything was fine. By the sound of the load you are putting on your batteries you may need more than that.
