Second alternator braket?

Second alternator braket?
Hello everyone,
I got my stereo system completely done, now I need to upgrade my alternator. I was thinking about attaching the second one. Is there a part number for a braket. I have never seen one on the truck. But, on GM website as an options you can choose to get two alternators. Is it only fro DMaxx? If anyone who knows what I am talking about, please share.
Thank you, Dzmitry

While you could get a second one, not only would that be a performance hit, you also need to add or modify some of your charging system (regulators, cables, etc)
Why not get an alternator from an escalade, a police edition alternator, or perhaps a high amperage version from ebay?

unredeemed: I got to much power going out. So I figured I need another alternator. I just recieved 200 Amp custom build From Nathan.
But I still need more power.
Anyone knows part numbers for the accesories and the brakets that I need, to do the change? Also Who has the pictures with two alternators?
All help will be apreciated?

I got my alt from a guy named Dominick Iraggi, he was pretty big with the Rockford guys I used to talk to. He did a dual-alternator setup (315 amps each according to the site) for a guy named Steve Meade in his Tahoe. If you're interested in talking to him, email him dominick@tds.net maybe he can help you out.
Here's some pics of Meade's setup...here is the link to the cardomain page if you want to check out the whole thing. http://www.sounddomain.com/ride/523384

On a previous truck I had a second alt out of a peter built with an extrnal variable regulator that would allow you to adjust voltage from 13 - 22 volts. It was very easy to make some brackets for the alt. It's a whole different story what this alt was used for.....
