The lack of a working sound system in my car has finally gotten to me, so I decided to upgrade. I've been reading up on some stuff but there's still a LOT that I'm not sure about. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

HU: Alpine CDA-9811

Front: VIFA PL18WO09-04 7" WOOFER 4 OHM and
VIFA D26NC05-06 1" NEODYMIUM TWEETER (out of stock at partsexpress, anyone know somewhere else I can buy these?)

Crossovers: I assume something to mount in the doors, so only one set of speaker cables has to be run in? But looking on ebay and various audio sites, all I seem to be able to find are the bigger ones that would go in the trunk.<br />

Rear: JL XR570 CX

Amp: How do you decide what amps to get? The woofers are rated at 100 watts RMS @ 4 ohms and the tweeters 40 watts RMS @ 6 ohms. Do I add those up and find an amp that is rated for that power? And what about the impedance difference? Would either of these be a good one to get, I'd be looking at amping all four doors. (Rockford Fosgate Punch 801X or Kicker KX800.4)

Wiring: Knukonceptz

Battery: Optima Red Top (Is it worth it for what I'm running?)

I don't have any plans as of yet to get any kind of sub at the moment. And yes, I realize that many of you would say not to have anything in the rear doors but I want something, so I bought those off a fellow CEG'er. So, let me know what you think.
