I get a terrible alternator belt screech upon intial startup, The belt has good tension, and is it possible the bearings are going or do I really need to tighten the belt?

The reason I put it here in this Forum is because it is directly related with my car stereo. When I turn it up most of the time I can hear the belt whining, as if I'm making the alternator work too hard. I have reolcated the battery to the back, and have considered adding another battery, although if this won't make a difference, in my lights dimming or my alternator complaining, I would rather fix the main problem at hand.

I have 1.5 farad digital capacitor, with a reading sometimes below 12 volts when the car is running and the bass is hitting hard. Although it is usually above 12, I'm sure this is why the lights dim. The biggest problem here is the alternator making tons of noise.

If anybody has a clue...let me know. Thanks in advance. I don't plan on adding an amp for my highs until I fix this problem. I know the Galant VRt has a 90AMP alternator, would this be a good replacement? All the possibilities. I'm sure there is an answer.

I will post pics of my system soon.
