Electrical shouldn't be a big upgrade.

Big 3 and maybe an upgraded batt under the hood. 4 ga wiring, 0 ga isnt needed but is better to have in case of future upgrades.

Just to put it out there CCA doesnt have to much to do with car audio, you need a good a/h number. But your not running too much power so your safe.
