I doubt that you need another alternator if you are just replacing the deck, 
even if it is advertised as "high power".  I assuming that you've added 
amplifier(s) as well. Unless you are running 3+ amplifiers, it is usually 
adequate to install a capacitor.

I'll have to do some digging to find my catalog that has the high output 
alternators.
