Internet wisdom is valuable, but can only go so far. And throwing parts at a problem, hoping for a direct hit, gets expensive in a hurry.
There is no substitute for proper diagnostic work, and electrical troubleshooting especially needs a logical plan.
Without one you're likely to go nowhere, and in costly fashion.
Just my $.02.

I actually went through about 3 alternators and I don’t believe any of them put out enough amps for what my car is was doing. The Mechman alternator works perfectly and the car stays at a solid 14.4 .

I had the same issue. Replaced the alternator with a reman, and still had the issue. Swapped back from NGK copper to OEM iridiums to no avail. Bought a Mechman alternator and now at a solid 14.4, even swapping back to the copper plugs.
