Does anyone know how many amps a stock mustang draws?

I just put in a stereo system with navigation system and I think my two amps killed my alternator. I need to get a new one but i don't know if I get another stock will the amps blow it. that is why I need to know if anyone knows how much power a stock 06 mustang draws. I called the dealership but they said I would have to call Ford engineering in Detroit. Please help!

Not sure how much draw but my 06 has the Shaker 1000, came with 4 amps and I added one to it. No problem so far.

What amperage is your alternator. I have two jbl audio amps a four channel with 500 Watts then a two channel is about 700.

Well I think I'm going to get the 135amp and see if that works and doesn't die on me. Thanks.
