Default Alternaror question

So, I have a 99 ranger with a stock 95 amp alternator. I also have two 12 inch subs on a 1000 watt (RMS) amp and a 200 watt (RMS) amp for the door speakers. I also have an AGM performance battery and have done the big 3 upgrade. So when I have my stereo turned up I still get some minor headlight dimming. I think getting an HO alt would be overkill, but ive seen 130 amp alt available as stock replacements. So my question: do you think the extra 35 amps would be enough? Or do have to go for the HO alt? Fyi, I have no intention on making my stereo any bigger, im completely happy with how it is now.
