Sound SETUP HELP!!!

Well through a friend of mine i have a business interested in sponsoring my car. I get whatever items i need for my setup free as long as i pay to install it. The only thing is im new to audio and know next to NOTHING about it. IM learning but i created a moch list of what items i was gonna use. I was hoping you guys here could look over it and give me some suggesstions. I would appreciate it. Remember i dont know audio and never planned on going this route but its free audio so i couldnt turn it down. Thanks guys

2- 1500 watt Power series Rockford Fosgate Amplifiers

2 or 4 Rockford Fosgate Power HX2 RFR3112 12" Dual 2-ohm Voice Coil Component Subwoofers

1- Alpine IVA-D901 DVD/CD/MP3 receiver with retractable 7" LCD monitor

1- Optima battery (yellow top) this is just to power the audio equipment. Ill be getting another yellow top for the engine bay

1- 800 watt Power Series Rocket Fosgate Amplifier

2- Rockford Fosgate FRC4269 6"x9" 2-way Speakers

2- Rockford Fosgate FRC4206U 6-1/2" 2-way Speakers

1- Capacitor (1 farad)

1- Rockford Fosgate OEQ2 10-band equalizer

im thinking about a custom FG encloser but my goal is to keep a 17in spare rim in the trunk on display since i have big rotors up front i cant use the OEM spare so keep that in mind. Im thinking the number of subs might be overkill a bit

Well, if your not paying for it, why not go with better stuff? JL Audio, Eclipse, Phoenix Gold, MB Quart, Focal all come to mind.

If I were in your shoes, and they are willing to pay for this, get two JL Audio 12W7's, MB Quart Q series, two JL 1000/1's, and either a PPI highs amp or a JL Audio 300/2, and an Alpine HU of your chosing. Dont forget XM Radio either.

should probably add an upgraded alternator to that list. that may be over kill with 4 power hx2's, but if you aren't buying don't worry. it will add a ton of weight to your car also, i hope you have coilovers to tweek the ride height.

LudlamTheory is an unknown quantity at this point
why all fosgate?

if you can get it all free, and if youre trying to go all 1 brand for show purposes, id go with an all JL setup

2 13w7's, 2 1000/1's, xr's all around with a 300/4

much more classy lookin equipment and much better sounding setup

instead of the cap go with an upgraded alternator as well...
