It's a fair build.

im over in lakewood (east dallas)

would i need a car battery to power this?

yes you'll need a battery. but if you're asking if your stock one will do, I say most likely. only way to know for sure is to try it, but I'd say you're fine. Setup looks alright, R's are the way to go on a tight budget. I might get a hifonics 160"x" I know the r's can take more than 500 a piece and headroom is your friend.

also dont forget about the $100 you're going to have to spend for wiring

http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMaster.cfm?Category=Amp%20Installation%20Kits. Here's some amp installation kits if it makes that part any easier. Otherwise it sounds like you've got a solid setup. I would also recommend the diamond audio hex s600s for a solid set of components. They have them at onlinecarstereo.com for $199.

If you're going to use the said sub amplifier, I'd go with a single 15" Type R ported. If you do not have room, then a single 12" Type R ported. No sense in spending extra money and the sub will take it.

And I do not(just me talking) care much for the Alpine Type R coaxial/components. They're not very clean, but I will admit get more than reasonably loud. The Diamond Hex is a good comp set, as well as tons of others. You could consider one of the new Pioneer comp sets, if you'd like. I'd suggest running a component set up front, coaxials in the back.

Everything else is a good choice for the money spent, I'd say though.
