what car? system specs? prolly have to make custom brackets.

Any newer sytle car will be next to impossible to fit one just for the "packaging" of one. Wiring depends on the make/year of the car. The Regulator would be your biggest obstacle, maybe if you externally regulate the second unit you might be able to acheive your goal.

i never herd of putting 2 alts on

The way I have seen it done is the replacement of the a/c compressor with the new alternator. Your best bet is it externally regulate it, and run it only to the betteries you have in the back. If it's only doing audio equipment you can probably run 16-18 volts, depends on the amp.
