Is there any alternator with a bigger power supply than the ones on the x14xe, and will it bolt straight on with no modification?

More amps you mean, Prob is, Might have to change the pully though.
Why do you think you need more amps?

Going flat? I'd suggest a decent battery first, unless you're drawing major amps from the stereo. HID's actually draw less power than standard bulbs, so that won't cause any issues.

Unless its going flat while you have it running, its not a charging issue.

are you running your amp through an external capacitor? stops it sharply drawing amps when you get a bass kick
as tom said, its worth investing in a decent battery, get a digital battery tester on it, can tell you if its got a bad cell
