I got a quote from the mean green alternator guy, he said $369 shipped to my door for a HO alternator, I believe it was 200 amps, and a direct bolt on. He probably just rewinds a new contour alt., I'm not sure. For 400 bucks I can live with dimming lights...

Tony D, I wouldn't say "bye, bye battery" as I only run my system with the car on, more like "bye, bye alternator". When the stock one goes I'll be calling that green guy. I was looking into getting an isolater and a second battery for the trunk, but that was gettting to be $200+ estimated price so once again I can live with dimming lights...
