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.

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...
