Actually Yuli is offering advice, 1) Deep cycle battery 2) Bigger gauge wire 3) Using active filtering for your speakers as opposed to passive.
You would get better results buying a component set with matched speakers/properly designed passive crossover's that are designed for use with the exact speakers you have
Active - freqency bandwidth is controlled before amps - power delivered right to speaker
crossover settings become dangerous in the wrong hands as misuse can lead to speaker destruction (Though a clipped signal sent in any speaker can devour a voice coil
Passive - a full range signal output by the amp - filtered (powerloss) through coils/capacitors before reaching the speakers. No control over individual speakers, less likely for a newbie to screw up
I also didn't see any mention of door treatment/ or deadening of any other part of the car
