Need more power capt.! (Dual alt question)

Some time in 2009, I'll be swapping out amps from the entry level parts that I'm using, the the Signature Edition amps which are basically the best of the best out there.

The problem with this (besides the fact that each of these amps is >$1000) is that when these things go full tilt, they will draw as much power as a 4 bedroom house... Looking at somehwere around 350 amps of draw...

I'm talking with the guys from Powermaster Motorsports about getting ahold of twin 200a alternators, but then again, a problem arises: Where to mount the other unit?

I've thought about it and I believe that I can make a bracket to fit the second alt. where the smog pump is currently. I'm not sure if there would be any problems with this setup, so I wanted to gather some opinions, maybe see what others have done. I realize that not too many people have the issues/demands that I do, but I'm clinging to hope...
