What do you think?

Well time has come to over haul my stero. So here is a shake down of what I plan on doing lemme know if you guys would change anything.

First off is to get a Alpine IVA-W505 2 DIN Mobile Multimedia Station as I plan on adding a back up rear camera and want to add Sirus radio. Nest is upgrading the speakers to alpine Type R speakers either 6.5 or 5.25 in size. They should be more than enough for me. Than get a supercrew sound box that can hold 2 12inch subs. To mount two 12inch kicker Comp VX subs. With one kicker Mono Amp to push the subs. I am going to run zero gague wire and a Yellow top optima battery to power the subs and upgrad the stock battery to a red top one. So what do you think of it? Top me everything should work once setup right. Any thing you would change please let me know before Idrop this type of change?

If I had the space run them off a amp as I am sure the battery I get would push them. I am undecided on that. Other than that any comments on it? Help suggestions? This is my first full blown setup.

An amp for the Alpines would really bring them alive!! You should do it for sure!!!!!! That Alpine IVA-W505 looks awesome! Kicker isn't that great of an sq sub but to each his own.

Alpine W505 - check
Rear Cam - check
Sirius - check
Type R's - ONLY IF AMPED
CVX's - Need Seat lift. Try Comps, CVT or CVR's
Kicker Amp - Make sure final impedance is 2 ohms
1/0 - May not need that big...
Yellow Top - Use as original battery
Red Top - Not needed. Buy 2nd Yellow if 2 batteries is a must

Thanks man. This is what I was really looking for.
So then I will run a amp for the speakers than. I plan on doing a seat lift as I really want to run 12's as I like the bass they put out vs. 10's and such. On the battery I figured it would be better to have two than having one. However if I could get away with one battery to power my sound system and HID driving lights with my three 8inch lights for the desert than I will be more than happy to run just one battery.

I dont know a lot about the 8" lights but I would then check into a upgraded alternator if they draw a lot of power... I really cant answer anything outside of the audio...

But I have HID driving lights on mine. They draw less power than the stock bulbs.
