If it only stalls when you are playing loud music it probably is related to low voltage caused by the high power stereo system. Check your voltage under these conditions to see if your voltage is low (less than 11 volts could cause a problem). If the voltage is low check the alternator voltage regulator brushes for wear and replace as required. You may also need to install a higher capacity alternator (some of the 70A alternators barely charge at idle) and battery to continue listening to your stereo at high volume at idle. Mark
