You might want to budget for a 100 amp alternator. Have a look at this article:

A generator will have nowhere near enough power - you'll need to switch to an alternator, probably one rated above 65 amps. BTW, don't get caught up in wattage ratings - high-quality lower-rated speakers will be louder, and sound better at higher volumes than cheap speakers with gaudy numbers on the box. I've installed plenty of stereos - feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Be sure to put a little money in the bank for hearing aids. They're made by some of the same companies that make the speakers, sort of creating their own customer base!
