That all depends Dan.  Some simple math will determine if your
alternator is rated to handle the load by all your accessories.  If
you have some serious ICE, 100+ watt headlights + highs, and your a/c
or heat on full blast, a stock (Scirocco) alternator won't cut it...

Most people will be able to get by with an upgraded 90 amp alt. for
all but the most serious in-car-entertainment systems though...
