please help me with this alpine system

well here it is, im planing on 1 1.1000 pdx amp for 2 typr x 12's and for my infinity kappa components either 2 2x150 pdx or just the 4x150 (i just want the two 2x250 for looks) i plan on probably like a 6 farad power acoustik cap and a kinetic battery with a stinger relay...not sure if i even need this extra power stuff but will i be fine with 4g or will this system need 0g? any help would be much appreciated
Thanks, Cam

Use 0/1 Gauge, and don't get a capacitor or relay at all. Put the money you would use on the relay and capacitor for a second battery.

Fused between both batts with a 200-250 amp fuse, forget the caps, and I would upgrade the alternator aswell.

I personally think you will be a lot more satisfied with the Kicker setup, but get the ZX2500.1 instead of the ZX1500.1.

so heres what you guys are telling me is the rite decision
1.) zx 2500 instead of a pdx 1000 or 2
2.) 0/1g wire from main to back up
3.) and maybe stay with kicker zx 650x4 for the components?
4.)2 08' l7 15's
questions now, which battery and amps should i look at

Yes.

You're going to want two batteries. Optima Yellow Top or the Canadian Tire Purple Top are good choices. You already got amps so I don't know what that means.
