OK guys, I started a new job yesterday and received part signing bonus on the spot. So naturally this $$$ is going into my car, so I'm using it to start my system.
Basically I just want to make sure what I have in mind will work without any problems (aside from some rattles).
Here's what I have in mind:
HEADUNIT

iPod Adapter (On Order)

2 Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1d Subs
-Power Handling, Peak: 1400W
-Power Handling, RMS: 350W

AMPS

-RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 111W x 4 @ 14.4V

Infinity 1210a Mono Subwoofer Amp (waiting to order)
-RMS Power: 854W x 1 @ 4 ohms
-THD at 4-Ohm RMS Power: <1 %
-RMS Power: 1300W x 1 @ 2 ohms
-Speaker Level Inputs: No
-Preamp Outputs: Yes
-Built-In Crossovers: LP
-Bass Boost: 0 - 12 dB
-Frequency Response: 17-302 Hz
-Signal to Noise Ratio: 72 dB
Now, I figgure I'll need to upgrade the Big 3 at the very lest. Will I also have to upgrade the Alt, and if so, where can I get one for an Ecotec? I don't want to use a cap because I think those really are only a band-aid. Is the stock battery going to be good enough, or should I get a Red or Yellow top? Also, suggestions on what size amp wires I should use? Is 4 gauge good enough, or should I be looking at 1/0 wires?
That's about it I think... BTW, this will be going into a 05 Sunfire without the monsson system.
4 gauge should be fine, unless you plan on going bigger than that eventually? do the big 3 and use a yellow top.
