Potential Major Problem for new ICE Build - how do i get more AMPS?

Having spent considerable time and taken some fantastic advice on these very forums for a new ICE build, i met my first major stumbling block:

The altenator on my type S GT Ishift is rated at 95A. The prospective new build will require + 80A more to run.

2 x 2.9 Audison Amps
1 x Rainbow Profi Vanadium Components
1 x Rainbow vanadium Sub
1 x 3sixty.2 (or alpine hxe 650)

My local fourcars installer at Creative Car Audio in Hornchurch did a similar build in a similar car, and they found this problem a very serious one considering the exact equipment on my shopping list above.

Options of caps or a second battery, apparently are unable to solve the higher required amps.

If i am able to source a more powerful altenator, and I dont even know if there is one for a (57 reg honda civic type s gt petrol 1.8 ) it would affect the warranty?

Does anyone have any advice at all?


Thanks
