Your opinions on my soon-to-be sound system

[dc_the_boss]

I wanted to run this past some people that know a lot more than I do before I order all of this. I want to stick with all pioneer if possible JUST BECAUSE lol. I like pioneer.

Vehicle: F250 Diesel 7.3L crew cab

HU: Pioneer AVH-4000NEX with 4v preamp outputs

Subs: 2x) Pioneer TS-W3003D4 - 12" 4ohm DVC 600w RMS

Sub Amp: Pioneer GM-D9601 - Class D Mono 1200w RMS @ 1ohm

Front Speakers: x2) Pioneer TS-M650PRO - 6.5" w/ tweeter 4ohm 110w RMS

Rear Speakers: x2) Pioneer TS-6900PRO - 6x9" 2-way 4ohm 100w RMS

Front & Rear Amp: Pioneer GM-D8604 - Class FD 4ohms: 100 watts x 4 chan.

I need help choosing wiring. I'm thinking 0 gauge for power & ground...Is there a kit anyone recommends for this set up or would I be better off buying the wiring components individually? Also would I need just one fuse on the incoming power or a separate fuse for each amp? Fuse sizes? Sorry I am a noob. Also any other input on the rest of the system is appreciated. Thanks

Also, is an upgraded alternator or any other powering devices needed? I didn't think they would be because it is a dual battery diesel but I have no experience with the diesel powering system.

Pioneer these days is meh. If it makes you happy, that's what matters. Zero gauge to distribution block, fuse appropriately (250 for CCA, 300 for OFC zero gauge).

You don't need an upgraded alternator for that kind of power. You have plenty of battery too

Are you dead-set on those Pioneer subs? If you aren't there are some others out there with better specs that will run you about the same in terms of money. If you're flexible on them, I can PM you some links to some.

So I should run 0g to the distribution block and 4g from the block to each amp?

HU: Pioneer AVH-4000NEX with 4v preamp outputs $512

Subs: 2x) Pioneer TS-W3003D4 - 12" 4ohm DVC 600w RMS $149

Sub Amp: Pioneer GM-D9601 - Class D Mono 1200w RMS @ 1ohm $160

Front Speakers: x2) Pioneer TS-M650PRO - 6.5" w/ tweeter 4ohm 110w RMS $86

Rear Speakers: x2) Pioneer TS-6900PRO - 6x9" 2-way 4ohm 100w RMS $130

Front & Rear Amp: Pioneer GM-D8604 - Class FD 4ohms: 100 watts x 4 chan. $130

That comes out to $1167. What would you recommend in that price range that would be better? I am not 100% dedicated to pioneer but I like it.
