Need help setting up Sentra!!!

[fieryhooligan 10+ year member]

Hello all. New member but have been reading the forums for about a year now.

Here is my predicament.

I own a 2006 Nissan Sentra 1.8S Special Edition.

I currently have a low power amp driving 4 kicker KS600s, and the stock Nissan/Rockford Fosgate amp driving my subs (kinda dumb i know).

I am planning a HUGE overhaul, but trying not to break the bank.

Here is the setup as i see it

New mono amp

New Subs and Box

Keeping Kicker ks600s and kenwood amp for powering them

Caps or Batterys? not sure there

Big 3 Upgrade

Any suggestions? i have the new amp picked out, and while i would love help picking out subs and box, i am really looking for electrical help right now

Thanks EVERYBODY!!

None of these subs are predominately focused on SPL.

I would say the ones listed here are all SQ with a little SPL.

even though im not a huge fan of the ssd, of the 3, i believe it would be loudest, and i have heard/installed them all.

The new mono amp I got is a power acoustic 2000/1. Any opinion as to whether I should use a cap or a battery. Please note that at this time I am not planning on upgrading my alternator.

Anything else

Fyi go any deeper than 14" on ypur box and you wont be able to access your spare tire well without moving your sub

So if i replace the big 3 and do a dual batt system i shouldn't need a cap right? I know that Caps are very controversial...

Here's what you'll need.

-4 gauge amp kit or better(good gauge wire),I would recommend 0 gauge and then reduce it with a fuse near the amp/or a fuse block splitter if you want to run another amp in the future.

Your going to loose voltage but not much, if need 1 good battery under the hood.
