As far as batteries, I'd consider an optima battery, they rock. You should also consider a higher capacity altenator and at least a 1 farad capacitor to take some strain off of the system and give the amps an extra kick. As far as the subs, the type R's are a good choice. Did you think about putting one in each corner by the taillights firing forward? I did this in my old 01 Sebring and it worked great. It also allowed me to save a bunch of space in the trunk.( I have kids and luggage space is a must) It also looks a little more custom as well.

A system like your should not kill the battery in your car, i still have my original battery that is now 6 yrs old. Like what dustdevil33 said having a cap will help your amps on some of the bass notes. i can play my system for two hours at more then half power with out the car running. Also if you are worried about draining your battery completely while your car is not running, you will be able to tell that your battery is getting low when you no longer hear bass. As it takes more power to produce the lower notes. so when that happens to me i then turn my car on and let it run for a while.

Bump!, for unanswered questions.
I pmed caraudiohalic this but he hans't been on in a while so I'll post it here.
I see that amps have an rms power and a max power. How do you acheive the max wattage out of an amp like this one?:
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...16-PR4.50.html
As for the amplifier wiring kits when they say "dual 2 amp power kit 1000 watts" does that mean out of one single amp? or the total power of the two amps combined?
Like this one: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...cker+PKD4.html
Or should I get this kit instead since with both amps max power comined I would be about 1900 watts?

I am still going with the alpine type R sub and the alpine m500 monoblock amp along with a power acoustik 1200watt amp. Keep in mind I will rarely take the amps to their full power. The power acoustik will send 100watts to all 4 speakers = 400 watts and with the m500 amp I would probly give the sub 700 watts, which is a total of 1100.

And one last question, how bad would this system be killing my battery? with just a little above half the volume cranked up?
On a side note I will be buying the 6.5in component speakers and 6x9 speakers next week, both mtx audio.

As for the wiring kit, The dual amp wiring kit just means that there is a splitter in the kit like this one: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...11DBX30&tp=792 and i would say that the 1000 watts is the total power.
I would tell you to look at this page to find out what size cable you need: http://www.crutchfield.com/Learn/lea...uge_chart.html
PM me if you need something cleared up more.

I say no to a cap. Now if you have or getting a competition system them thats a different story. Hey did you ever get the sub box? You never posted up the link. I need one of those boxes also.

It went for more than I wanted to pay at the time.

You can send a message to the guy asking him to make a box to the specs of your sub(s). He will do it
