General first ICE setup HELP?

[alexsmith20]

ok for a start guys i have the good old struggle to start some days issue where my car just seems to think about starting for half a second and then errupt into life, and yes it does make a sound that is extremely embarrassing

that aside i love my gp but im wondering if the battery will need replacing with what i have waiting to go in.
due to my location car audio centre is quite close and the best place for me to buy my ice, i have so far bought the following

fascia adapter

aerial adapter (not sure if its needed or even if its the right one)

headunit (sony DSX-S300BTX)

juice d212 double 12" subwoofers
http://caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-juice-d212_p-26529.htm

dynamat extreme trunk kit (bought of flebay since caraudiocentre was a rip off for it)

CTSFA004 adpater for steering wheel controls with sony patch lead

In Phase IPA1041 4 channel amp running 75w at 4ohm x4 http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-in-phase-ipa1041_p-23407.htm

ok im looking on getting these speakers and wondering if you guys think the amp will power them nicely or whether i should be looking at some other speakers.

the alpine SPG-17CS component speakers in the front with 70w rms at 4ohm

and the matching alpine spg set in the rear
http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-alpine-spg-13c2_p-23889.htm

now the rears run at a lower rms power rating so im wondering if they will be ok with the 75rms from the amp or am i going to have to look for higher power ratings.

now for the electrical side of the install im wondering if i should replace my battery????

if my alternator will be able to cope??

if battery needs replacing can someone point me in the direction of one that will fit and will be able to cope??

and a last question is should i get a power cap, if so what farad should i get?????

all help will be much appreciated as this will be hopefully going into the car in the next month or so. thanks all ff members been mightily helpful so far :worship::worship::worship:

Unless that amp is bridgeable (which it doesn't state in the ad) then you'll have to use that for the door and shelf speakers and buy another 2 channel amp for the subs.

Fit a battery meant for a diesel version of your car, should need/waste your money on a power cap.

I would try this in the 'ICE' section on the forum as it might get more usefull answers. If you manage to get the steering wheel controls working let me know because my adaptor doesnt work! lol

hey thanks for the responses and yes the double subwoofer has a built in amp (i think )

and ok ill stick into ICE section aswell and could you point me in the direction of the diesel battery and is it just a straight swap or any modding or even if there is a more powerful one that would work aswell thanks.
