I think a 2.5 alt should be bigger - I have one for sale if you need one.

you could just fit a decent power cap should solve the problem it should only be taking major power the its droppin low on the bass notes

a power cap wont make any difference u need a gel battery like this

a power cap is only to help the battery/altonator on huge power surges such as fat bass lines and an up rated altonator will still b needed where a gel battery will do this alot better and the altonator will not need to b replaced and u can turn up to a cruise and show off ur sounds all day and still start the car at the end of the show with no worrys. i do it all the time
