Alternator output: 87 4kcsq



I searched briefly on the archives, but thought the immediate answer would
be obvious to someone here in the wee hours of the morning (US people,
that is)...

I'm starting to worry about power output from the alternator.  I've just
installed 250W stereo in the car (~30A draw) and am planning to upgrade to
Euros real-soon-now.

Will I be running into charging problems or stressing the alternator too
much?  What is the rated output of my alternator?

Any BTDTs will be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
