phoenix gold sound system

I am putting my previous system into my new car and need some opinions.

This is what my system consists of:

Alpine IVA-W205 Head Unit (haven't yet but am considering it)

x4 Phoenix Gold X5.0 Components (150wrms)ea.

x3 Phoenix Gold X10D4 Subs (450rms)ea.

Phoenix Gold X1200.1 Amp (1200wrms)

Phoenix Gold X200.4 Amp (200wrms/ch)

I also have 2,  1 farad Caps but after reading that debate on them I think I am going to go without them. What I would like to know is the wiring part and fusing. I have read the sticky's and other post but am very confused. Let me know what you would do with this exact system, ie. wiring, how many batteries, alt. upgrade, etc?

Also, my subs can be wired into 1 and 4 ohm. Which is preferred and why?

Anyways, if this isn't making any sense or if there is anything else I need to inform you on (about this system, lol) let me know.

Thanks,

Corey

Sorry forgot to mention this. Would it be better off that I go with 2 subs oppose to 3. That way I am overpowering the subs rather than underpowering? Another question, how do I know if my amp is putting out its rated 1200wrms? Do the gains and bass boost have to be cranked to achieve the full power?

Thanks again

Thanks for the quick reply, aznboi. I have never heard or the above mentioned so I think I will have to get a shop to do that for me. My 3 subs have a combined power rating of  1,350 wrms and my amp only puts out 1200, is that not bad for the amp? Is it possible that I could run one power wire for the 2 amps? If so, what gauge and how far from the amp should it be split? Also, do I use only one fuse for the 2 amps? This is what really is confusing me right now since I have never wired up 2 amps with one wire.

I had asked a buddy at work about a line drive? He said I wouldn't need it, is that true? What does that do exactly?

I already knew that, what I need to know is what guage would I run from the battery and then what guage wire should I use when I split it? As well, do I still fuse it by the battery or does it get fused in the distribution block? Or both? Since I am putting out 2000wrms should I use a 200a fuse? Thats what I need to know. And if anyone could answer my question about wiring my subs into a 1 or 4 ohm load, which is better and why?

Thanks.

Thanks alot aznboi!

I just have a few more questions just clear things up.  What size fuse should be used for the dis. block? And, since there are going to be more than one fuse should all the fuse ratings be added together to equal the proper fuse rating? Again, thanks alot.
