I am trying to figure out what will it take to run this setup and have no impact on power requirements or drain my battery down.

I currently have 2 alpine typer subs connected to 2 alpine mrp-m350. each amp has a rockford fosgate 1 farad CPCD10-03

what i want to do is keep this setup but add the following

2 alpine SWX-1242D 1000 watts each

2 Alpine MRD-M1005 1000 watt each

4 alpine type X 6 1/2 speakers SPX-17MB 75 watt rms 300 peak

1 alpine MRV-F545 AMP 125x4 rms

what will i need like capacitors, batteries etc.. in order to have this setup but not get ripped off with extra craqp dealers like to sell at times.

You'll definately need a high-output alternator and maybe a second battery. Dump the caps.

alternator would be the best investment for you, then you could look into a kenetik battery for under the hood. This would be the best and most efficent route to go, but not the cheapest.

So you're putting 2 Type R's and then 2 Type X's?

What's your reasoning for using two different subwoofers? You must have figured out by now that "we" think.....er, KNOW.......it's a bad idea.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

They make HO alternators for $250? wowa, are you shure its not a legacy alternator?? lol Anyways "Integrity" definately drop the type-r's, put the type-x's in some proper ported boxs, scrap that MRV-F545 and get a mrv-f540, its less power according to the specs on the box, but much better built to run those type-x components. Also, are you running type-x components in the back of the car? You can do it, but it would be a little more realistic to just put some type-r coaxials in the back. but if you have the cash, all the power to you.

But definately look into a good alternator, your going to need it , and heres my reccomended alt list. www.mechman.com, www.meangreen.com, www.ohiogen.com, dominik irregi alternators. stay far away from alterstart, and be weary of cheap alternators, they are just that, , cheap, they may put out 180 amps, , but most likely in the red line of your vehicle, the alternators listed above put out there peak at normal driving rpm's.

Well the entire reason I want to add the type x subs to my existing setup is to achieve more clarity with the bass and at a louder level considering the fact that I purchased the type x subs which they sound great why not add type x subs to the setup subs are subs right? wouldnt you achieve unsurpassed sound clarity if your running 4 subs versus 2 subs? if i get a chance later on to do so I will sketch out a drawing of what i want to accomplish. below is the current setup and the proposed let me know if this is workable withought getting an alternator setup Power requirements for this setup? -- posted image.
