As for the stereo system... I do make it pound but not all the time. I did ask about but again they had no answer for me.
I am thinking of upgrading the battery because of the system and the alarm/remote starter but I'm not sure if that would help.

Upgrading the battery will definately help. Also if you haven't done the magic 3 mod yet, then thats another cheap solution you can do to aleviate the stress off of your alternator.

Magic 3 consists of replacing the following 3 wires from the stock 10 guage wire to either 4 or 0 guage

Battery Ground to chassy
Battery Positive to Alternator
Engine Ground to Ground

In my transam I was getting some serious voltage drops when my stereo would hit hard. I replaced the 490amp battery with a redtop 1000amp battery and my stock 75amp alt with a powermaster 140amp alt and still the draw would cause large voltage drops. After doing the magic 3 upgrade, the voltage drops were next to none on my cars volt meter. This might be a good idea in your case. Consider it.
