Default Alternator Help/Question

Hello, I am totally new to this forum and forums in general. I have been doing a hell of a lot of searching and I cant find what im looking for. Anyways I have a 1998 Civic LX Sedan its completly stock. I want to add another alternator without having to relpace anything. I have seen that you can replace the a/c to add another one but I have also heard that if you can get a bracket to accomidate a dual setup it would work too. Is this possible and if so any clue as to how or where i can get this bracket. I am also looking to replace to air intake to hopefully make up for the loss in power by adding another alternator and I need opinions on what the best one is I live in CT. I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance

Yeah I plan to add a few more amps than what I have in there now. Currently I run A JL 1000.1 an JL 300.4 I have a Dry Cell A Battery and a 15 Farid Cap but I want to be able to use my amps at more than half power without killing the electrical system like I have been.

wouldnt it be better to just use another battery for the system? I never heard of anyone adding another alternator.

thats what i thought too i guess you could do it but your almost guaranteed to have to make your own custom bracket for it
