Noob here looking for some help

Hey ya'll new on the forums here and am in need of some assistance.. Right now i'm driving a 2001 Honda Civic with the following:

• Pioneed DEH P7000BT Headunit: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/CD-Receivers/DEH-P7000BT
• Kenwood KAC-8104D Monoblock Amp: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11796_Kenwood-KAC-8104D.html
• 2 Kenwood KFC W3011 Subwoofer: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8572_Kenwood-KFC-W3011.html
• Stock Speakers
• Stock Battery
• Stock Alternator

I'm in the process of upgrading my stock speakers to some new Alpine SPS 610c's (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34373_Alpine-SPS-610C.html) in the front and some Apline SPS 619's (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34374_Alpine-SPS-619.html) in the back. This set of speakers will be powered by a Jensen 760.4 amp (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_37040_Jensen-Power-760.4.html). I am going to use a 0/4 gauge dual amp kit to power the two amps in the back (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7280_e2-E3200-by-Scosche.html).

I have a few quesitons for you guys:

1. How do you guys feel about the Alpine type s's? Are there any other speakers I should be considering other than those ones?
2. Considering i'm gonna be running 2 amps, can my stock battery and stock alternator handle the addition of a new amp?
3. How much speaker wire am I going to need for this install.

Thanks in advance for the help guys!

lather, rinse, repeat... there are a lot of speakers out there. the type S aint bad, but there is much better. if its a first time instal, used em, don't spend all your muny on the best yet, untill you learn more. 100ft of speaker wire should be good.

Put more money on the front speakers and forget the rear.

The type r may pleased you !

I'm not fan of Jensen amps.

[notorious97200]

Do the big 3 watch your voltage with a voltmeter in the car. And maybe add a second battery.

Good luck.

You don't NEED to do anything else electrical wise. I run about the same power and have never ha any problems with any of my gear. Now if u are going to keep this car for upgrade in the future, you could discuss upgrading your big 3, alt, and battery in that order, but you don't need to for how much power u r running.

You should be fine electrical wise unless you crank and clip your to show off and demo. If you do upgrade.

Not sure your budget but full range class D's out there sip current and get loud at the same time. One of the first amps I had was a Jensen it would overheat all the time and cut off.

Ken wood is ok keep researching there is a lot of better things out there for the same or less. Sometimes you can score deals if you look around. I got my PdX F4 for 200$ shop around and do more research.

id go with type r's more my style i had 2 15 type rs but thats up to you ...kenwood eh my buddies have had this amp im 50/50 on it ...4 gauge should be fine i wouldn't get the jensen i would keep looking better amps and deals out there ... your gonna be just over 1000w with all that so i would invest in a volt meter and watch your voltage i used to have a 03 civic with 1 l7 in the trunk little hondas dont take kindly to high wattage... driving an 07 civic now with fi btl n2 loaded in the trunk... just because you should be ok doesnt mean you will better safe than sorry id hate to see all that new equip go up in smoke if you have to big 3 maybe a nice xs power or kinetik battery under the hood and you should be looking good....if your going to upgrade any further in the future big 3 alt trunk battery would definitely be necessary ... just tryin to help and thats my opinion good luck ... remember bass boost is the enemy
