Did my stereo kill my alternator?

[ac3]

I'm pretty sure my alternator took a shit today. Car was dead, after jumping it, wouldn't hold a charge, and then misfired like crazy while trying to drive. Question is... Did it die from all my electronics or because she's an old bitch?

im running...
Jensen 5550 amp/infinity 1052w sub
55w HIDs
55w fogs

If I'm replacing this alternator do I need something better than the stock one?

Thanks...

Our alternators are ancient. I'd chalk it up to that myself..

That is not a lot of load for the car. Though id ditch the HIDs and get real bulbs. The stock wattage for the fogs is 55w.
You might see if you smoked the Voltage Regulator

I'd troubleshoot it properly before spending my cash on an alternator.

FUCK!
I forgot my obligatory "I have an alternator I can sell ya."
