New car, new build!

[bowhunter 10+ year member]

I picked up a 2003 pontiac vibe for gas mileage to get back and forth to school I had an extended cab Dodge Ram with 2 obsidian 15's and when I got rid of the truck I ripped all of my equipment out and sold it. I am starting to get my money situation back right and have started putting together a little something in the Vibe! As of now I have a Pioneer Deh8600 head unit, a CT sounds AT60.4,

4 Infinity 62.9i 6.5's, a CT sounds AT900.1, and knuconceptz 8 gauge ofc for the 4 channel and knuconceptz 0 gauge ofc for the 900.1! I am in love with the sound of everything now but it is time for some more lows!! The whole point of this was to ask you guys a few questions so here goes...

Will sealing off my doors and sound deadening them give me a noticeable difference? Will the difference atleast be worth my time and money?

Before I install subs, I will be doing the big 3 on my car with a stock alternator and stock battery, will that be enough to support the 60.4 and the 900.1 at .5 ohm or should I run it at 1 ohm?

I found a great deal on 2 skar VVX V2 15's on my local craigslist and decided to pick them up to flip and make a little money. I have AROUND 300 to spend on subs (willing to spend a little more.) With that being said I don't know what I should get... 2 8's, 4 8's, 2 10's, 2 12's, 1 12?!?! Whatever I get will be in a custom ported box. I like the low lows and listen to a lot of hip hop/rap and a lot decaf.

Any help will be appreciated!! Thank you!

YES... sound deaden the doors. its a mist for good sound.

what size is your alt?

measure how much room you have and give up the measurements and we can let you know what you can use...

as you want the right size box for the subs. so if you pick say a 15" and you dont have enough room for the right box, it will sound like crap.
