2006 c280 (w203) looking for a bigger alternator

I am in need of trying to find a bigger alternator due to a big *** stereo upgrade. Nav, 2-12s (2500watts), 250w door speakers. I've done the big 3 and still losing the power battle at idle... Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Your car should have a 120a alternator. W211 and C55 and Sclass from same era will have a 150a alternator. The R350 and a few other MB SUVs will have 180a alternator. All of these bolt into your W203 but you will have to swap in the W203 specific voltage regulator.
