My current setup:
(2) 8 inch MTX subs
(1) 150watt 2 channel amp Road Thunder MTX

My new setup (not installed):
(1) Alpine IVA-D300 head unit
(2) Clarion VMA5894 monitors
(2) Alpine Type-X SWX-1242D subwoofers
*frequency response: 23-200 Hz
*power range: 500-1,000 watts RMS (500 watts per coil)
*peak power handling: 3,000 watts
*sensitivity: 83 dB
(2) Alpine MRD-M1005 mono channel amps
*700 watts x 1 at 4 ohms (1000 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms)

Stuff to help wire it up:
*Alpine KCE-511M Amplifier Link
*Rockford Fosgate CP4DCKS
*Farenheit VB-1 video booster

That's all i've come up with so far. It's going to be pretty expensive, but my main concern is powering it all. My car has trouble powering just the 8inchers so I figure this will probably be impossible. I already have a optima battery, what alternator should I upgrade too? Also what should I look into for reasons why my car has charging problems (any tips or tricks/common things). My dad's 5.0 charges much better than mine.
Also can anyone rec. a good speaker/amp setup for the front 6 speakers?

I can't wait to finish this project. Give me your opinions.

If I didnt have so many things going on I would do a custom box, that's what I did for years on the side. But I have work, school, girlfriend, band, and side business I am trying to launch. Plate is full, and doing that sort of stuff I always sold myself short for the amount of time it takes to do that kind of project. However on a side note, I am highly thinking of selling my fiberglass box I did after november 4th. If interested let me know.

Also get a cap, that will help from draining your alternator down soo much. i have a set up like yours but I am pushing 2,000 watt rockford amp with two 12'' rockford xlts that rms at 500 watts and peak at 1000 watts. But I cap will help alot you will definitly tell the difference.
