Although money may not be an issue, run-on sentences are...

I would be very wise to: upgrade the big three, find biggest alternator you can find and fit, and a deep cycle battery or two.

Stay away from caps for now, if you want them for looks in the future and have properly and succesfly upgraded all that is listed, go ahead and throw the money away on themposted_image

3000 rms????      well if you plan to street a setup like this you will need one hell of an alternator 200+ amps at idle.   What type of vehicle is this going into?

You said you havent decided on amps, but have you started looking.   for over or near 3000rms you are going to be spending upwards of $1000

might want additional batterys as well, 2 kenetik 2400 series batterys would do nicely if you can fit them somewhere.

The above suggestions are mine as well.  But before you start talking about power levels, perhaps you might want to describe what you intend with this system.  It's not all about power, after all, as you can generate extremely loud sound levels with 100 watts using the right equipment.  And as also mentioned, please post using sentences.  Thanks.
