Help picking and and accessories

[crusto2k3]

Ok, this is my first post, just wanted to say hi before I ask away. I'm familiar with head units and installation and wiring the harnesses, but beyond that I'm kinda in the dark when it comes to amps and whatnot. So I am gonna install an Alpine CDA-9886. I have a car that uses 4x 6.5" speakers.

For the two fronts I need to use some shallow mount speakers so I'm gonna get some:

-- INFINITY KAPPA 62.9IS 6.5" 2WAY

2-way 6-1/2" speakers (pair)

fit 6-3/4" openings

2-ohm impedance for extra power (compatible with all factory or aftermarket car stereos)

Plus One® woven-glass-fiber woofer cone with hi-roll rubber surround

1" rotating UniPivot, edge-driven M.M.D.® dome tweeter

computer-optimized outboard crossover with tweeter level control

direct-connect crossover dongle

power range: 2-65 watts RMS (195 watts peak power)

frequency response: 45-25,000 Hz

sensitivity: 95 dB

And for the rear:

6-1/2" Kappa Series Car Speakers

Power Handling:

Peak: 450 watts per pair / 225 watts each

RMS: 150 watts per pair / 75 watts each

Woven glass fiber cone woofer

Rubber surround

1" Edge-driven MMD (Metal Matrix Diaphragm) dome tweeter

UHF super tweeter allows for frequency response as high as 30000 Hz

Computer optimized voice-matched passive crossovers with audiophile-grade air core inductors and polypropylene capacitors

Adjustable tweeter level (-3 dB, 0, +3 dB)

2 ohms impedance.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna ad as far as a sub, but it's gonna be 1 of something a 10 or 12.

So really, besides rca's to hook up and speaker wire, gound, power (GAUGES on ALL THESE wires?)...what else do I need to build this. I'm thinking 4-channel amp with a seperate one for the sub? Or is there a better way to do this? NONE of this is in stone yet, including the deck, but i want to stick to alpine so thats for certain...I think... I would like to hear all your thoughts.

Thanks,

Dustin
