The alternator you have is plenty big enough for the job.
You need to install a 2 farad capacitor to make sure that the voltage stays as a steady level. Usually 1 farad per 1k wattage is good enough. You would be ahead to connect the amp to the battery not the alternator anyway. This way you have constant voltage even when the car isn't running.
