Help me finalize my system! :D

Well, ive got most of the components in my first ever aftermarket system! Pretty stoked. Ive only got a few more items to get.

So far I have:

-A pair of Diamond Audio D661a Component Speakers

Specs: 6 1/2 In., 100/200 Watts

-Alpine MRV-F345 Multi Channel Amp

Specs: 4/3/2, 75 RMS x4,

-2 Alpine SWR-1022D (10") Subs

Specs: 50-500 Watts RMS, 2ohms

- And a Subthump Dual 10" T-Top Box on the way.

Picking up soon:

- Pioneer AVIC-D3 Double Din HU w/ Sirius, Bluetooth, & iPod add-ons. (due out in March)

- Alpine MRD-M1005 Mono Amp

Specs: 1800W x 1, 500-1000 Watts RMS

- eDead v1SE² Sound Deadener

- Optima Yellow Top Battery

- and Wiring

Custom work:

- Rear seat delete amp rack.

- Double Din bezel/rack maintaining hvac location.

Now to my questions...

1) Would you all say that the mono amp listed is a good matchup for the 2 subs?

2) Is the battery required?

3) What about a new alternator?

4) About how much eDead is needed to cover most of the car? 2000 ***** Am (if you have a clue?)

5) What brand/type of wiring should I spring for?

6) From your collective experiences, what do you think this would cost to install? I'm going to take a stab at it myself, but its my DD and cant be down for too long. Plus, I have no experience with electronics. A friend of mine is willing to help though. lol Anyone in S. FL area that wants to pitch in feel free. Or if you know a good shop to go to, let me know.

7) Finally, whats your opinion on the setup? Anything you think I'm missing?

Thanks! lol I cant wait to have this finished, and will def post pix once its all done!

1) Alpine doesn't suggest running that the 1005 at one ohm, so you should be getting around 350w to each sub at 4ohms. That doesn't make for any headroom, but it will definitely play music.

5) Knukonceptz sells nice wire for nice prices.

You can choose the size based on the requirements of the system.
