I wouldn't worry about finding a good aftermarket alternator, but rather finding a place to mount that first!!! What on earth do you need two alternators??? Are you planning on competing with some thousands of watts of power?
ive seen it before, u mount it right above the first one.
Ya, mounted right above it. Or acually i could just replace it. See i want to avoid puttin a second battery in my trunk, or a bigass cap. I would rather get a better alternator, and have it supply my car with more then enough power.
Cause i got a system, lights..lots of lights..etc And i don;t want anything else to brown out

You can probably just get away with a rewound alternator putting out about 130-amps. I think www.mralternator.com has a selection for Camrys. There's always the 15-F cap from Alumapro (I think). If you plan on running your system & lights when the car is off, your alternator(s) will do nothing as all is coming from the battery. You may want to invest in a deep cycle battery as well, if you don't have one.
The URL is www.alumapro.com, under products -> C.A.P. links. You may want to call mralternator to ask about an upgraded one. They may ask you to send yours in to have it rewound for 130-ish-amps output.
If you mount the amp on the trunk lid, be careful which side you mount it since heat rises, and it may affect the circuit board. As for the grill, contact SpectraBlueCam, for the Gen3, that is.
a amp on the trunk lid? bad idea. it might look nice but no very effective. how much power are you going to run to I running 2000 watts but im using a a135 hot rated alternator from mralternator.com it's a direct fit. checc this out add all your power up then divide it by the car voltage. subs+interior=totoal wattage. divide it by the car voltage. the number you get is the peak amount of amperage you need. a capasitor will help out for them voltage drop. I bought a CAP alumapro 15 farad cap. bad move. my alternator was too busy tring to charge that cap than to power my setup. I now use 2 stinger 1farad cap with voltage meter. about the power thing. if power you want get a ohio generator alternator. 225 amp alternator! the only down side about this is you have to get custom brackets made. getting a second battery is usless if your charging system can't power them baby up quick enough. im rambleing again. i don't think i even answer your question but im not about to erase this now.
